Not sure I'm following. I have my movies and TV shows in completely different folders, in some cases on different hard drives. For example, on my test server I have my E drive with the following folders: E:\Movies, E:\Music, E:\Test Videos, and E:\TV Shows. Within each of those folders, I have sub-folders. For TV shows, I have a separate folder for each show. For Movies I have 4K, Recorded TV, Star Wars and Star Trek. I don't have to have the last two, but I've kept both of those franchises in separate folders. On my main Serviio computer, I have far more folders, spread across 5 different hard drives.
On the test server console, I have the libraries set up with Music, Movies, Test Videos and TV shows as separate library entries. I don't want metadata lookup for the test videos, which is why I have them as a separate location, so I can disable metadata search for them.
Serviio is intelligent enough to to separate movies and TV shows, even if they are within the same folder structure. It does this as long as the file names follow the recommended format.
If I go into Folder view, I see each of these folders as a separate location, with any sub-folders listed within. So I see my TV shows and Movies separately in that view. The only failure I have with TV shows appearing under the Titles/Movies listing is when theTVDB doesn't have entries for a particular season/episode. I've encountered that with some recordings of the old TV show Hee Haw. TheTVDB is missing entire seasons of that show, so some episodes show up in the Movies list. But that's not the fault of Serviio specifically.
