Set folder as Series folder

Hi, my issue is when I browse for movies in, say, the Titles folder, Serviio displays a lot of TV show episodes. I have the 'Show Series in relevant categories only' checkbox enabled which disables the TV shows with metadata downloaded. But I have quite a few YouTube series downloaded which aren't recognised in TVDB or IMDB so there is no metadata.

What I want to know is if it is possible to define a folder as a Series folder?

Cheers.

Re: Set folder as Series folder

Other than the checkbox you have already enabled, I don't believe you can do what you ask. I understand that Serviio classifies a video as a TV Series based on the file name, i.e. having the SxxExx in the file name.

I have seen other products that allow you to specify if a folder is movie or TV files (such as Plex), but I haven't found any of them that work as well as Serviio for my needs. For me, having playlists is a critical component, as well as being able to fine tune the transcoding process for my various players.
