Directory Interpreted as TV Series Title

[GlenManor 0]

I have nothing but awe and gratitude for this amazing product! Thank you.

I'm finding one thing frustrating. I've obviously overlooked something, but I'd appreciate your help with the following.

I have used essentially the same directory structure for TV that works for Movies and both seem to follow the example provided as

 \TV
     \A-M
        \Glee (2009)
           \Season 1
              Glee S01E01.mp4
     \N-Z
        \Seinfeld (1989)
           \Season 1
              Seinfeld S01E01.mp4 

 My Library structure is:

 

 

 

 

 

Emby finds and displays properly all of the TV shows/series in the various subdirectories except for the directory titled "A-Z". Instead it treats A-Z as a series title and includes all of the series in the subdirectories below as if they were episodes. (I had previously called this directory "Drama", which worked fine for the Movies file structure, but when that failed [I guess there's a TV Show called "Drama" - Who knew?] I renamed it to "A-Z".)

Within the A-Z subdirectory is: 

 

 

 

 

etc.

Within the '8 Simple Rules' directory is:

How can I tell Emby to treat A-Z as a directory, not as a series title?

Hello GlenManor,

Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you.

It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread:

Thank you.

(lol)

Maybe add something in front of it so it doesn't think it's the above TV show OR

Drop A-Z down a level - and add it as a second TV library path.

As an aside, organising your TV series/movies in this type of file structure is commendable, but not necessary from an Emby perspective because you can just sort them by Genre anyway using the database.  The bigger your collection gets, the more of a headache this is - and other than 'finding' files at the OS level - it's not necessary.

As another example of it's inflexibility - how do you manually find a Western Musical ...

Hi, this is tricky because it can be hard to tell what is a series folder and what is a season folder. You're mixing two things that both make it a little more difficult - the A-Z/Genre subfolders, and then also the lack of season folders.

In 8 simple rules, you could try creating a Season 1 folder, and then moving all of the episodes into there.

I do something similar with TV Shows by adding one additional folder level but I use it for tracking series that are "Ended" or "Ongoing"

When I setup this library I have TWO map points so for example:
F:\TV Shows\Ended
F:\TV Shows\Ongoing

You can do the same thing with your different categories as I'm doing by adding multiple mount points to the library.  Then Emby only deal with:

TV Show\Season\Episode
