Each file in a different folder

Hello. Please, help me to solve a problem. Lately Serviio started to display every file, placed in the same folder, in different folders with the same name. Noteworthy, that this folders were downloaded throw torrent-client. If I create folder by myself and put files in it, they are displayed rightly, all in one folder. I can't attach screenshot, because folders names are very discreditable :D What's a reason? Thank you.

Re: Each file in a different folder

I understand your reluctance to showing an image of your file structure and the files within, but without such information I'm not really following what is happening. Under the Folder presentation all "playable" files are displayed, but under all other presentations (Videos, Titles, etc.) each playable file should only be shown once.

Re: Each file in a different folder

Thank you for the answer! I did some tests and solved the problem. I'll try to explain what it was. For example, I add in Serviio folder "Movies", that contains other folders with files. Some folder's name is long, about 120-130 symbols, something like
A Thousand Clowns Season 1 Episodes: 1-4 of 6 (Ali Walters, Dendwards, Catherine Gebbie) [2024 UK Drama, Istria, Sports WEB-DLRip] MVO (LostFilm) Original
On TV in folder "Movies" I see something like
A Thousand Clowns Season 1 Episodes: 1-4 of 6 (Ali Walters, Dendwards, Catherine Gebbie) [2024 UK Drama, Istria, Sports WEB-DLRip] MVO (LostFilm) Original
A.Thousand.Blows.S01E01.WEB-DLRip.avi
A Thousand Clowns Season 1 Episodes: 1-4 of 6 (Ali Walters, Dendwards, Catherine Gebbie) [2024 UK Drama, Istria, Sports WEB-DLRip] MVO (LostFilm) Original
A.Thousand.Blows.S01E02.WEB-DLRip.avi
A Thousand Clowns Season 1 Episodes: 1-4 of 6 (Ali Walters, Dendwards, Catherine Gebbie) [2024 UK Drama, Istria, Sports WEB-DLRip] MVO (LostFilm) Original
A.Thousand.Blows.S01E03.WEB-DLRip.avi

... and so on
I.e. it somehow displays each file in different folder. Because the folder's name is long. If reduce folder name, all become as expected
A Thousand Clowns Season 1 Episodes: 1-4 of 6 (Ali Walters, Dendwards, Catherine Gebbie)
A.Thousand.Blows.S01E01.WEB-DLRip.avi
A.Thousand.Blows.S01E02.WEB-DLRip.avi
A.Thousand.Blows.S01E03.WEB-DLRip.avi

... and so on
Hope I explained clearly. Maybe it will be useful for somebody.
