TV Shows and Movies can't be in the same directory

Open Seegras opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

If you add a directory for TV shows that is the same as one already used for movies; it doesn't get added. If you change the directory later, the entry gets removed(!).

There is no real reason for this, as shows always use subdirectories, there's no reason why there couldn't be a movie in the main directory. There are franchises that feature movies, but also series/shows, which one might want to organize in subdirectories. Like Star Wars.

That sounds like a bug. Thanks for reporting.

What folder structure do you have? :smile:

Do you want to have a movie folder and add TV shows folders that are in specific movie folders? Or do you want to have both mixed in the same directory?

How about: StarWars [directory] │ANewHope.mkv │TheEmpireStrikesBack.mkv │ReturnOfTheJedi.mkv ├── Andor [directory] │   ├── S01E01.mkv │   ├── S01E02.mkv │   ├── S01E03.mkv ├── Rebels [directory] │   ├── S01E01.mkv │   ├── S01E02.mkv │   ├── S01E03.mkv Hypothetically. You can't set "TV Shows" and "Movies" directory both to "StarWars.
