I would like to know how you have organized your jellyfin/streaming service content.

Especially if you have somethin other than simply “Movies - Series - Anime”.

I’m struggling with discoverability, and was wondering if it could be solved by changing the structure.

    In addition to the usual Movies/Series/Music (I don’t see a reason to uncouple Anime from other series) I have two additional libraries: “Stage” (for theatre productions, musicals, opera and other concerts) and “Youtube” (which is linked to a local copy of all my subscriptions and playlists, provided by Pinchflat). I also used to have a “Music Videos” library, but curating that proved too cumbersome to be worth it.

      Been a minute since I set it up but I use a seperare metadata provider for anime and it’s just easier to keep separate in that scenario. You can still group libraries together to show up as one in the UI so I have a “TV Shows” library group that contains everything from both “Series” and “Anime”

      I think if you’re learning Japanese then decoupling raws and japanese subs from english subs is very worthwhile

        Possibly? I have to admit, I’m probably just misunderstanding the usecase. I have plenty of multi-language content available in my libraries, but that’s all solved via different audiotracks and subtitles embedded in the files themselves, not via separate libraries.

          just a matter of being lazy, I know stuff in my Anime library won’t have english subs by default and things in my Shows library will and I don’t need to figure out how to change them on multiple devices with multiple ways to interact with options before or during play.

          I can also restrict access to the guest account so I don’t have to explain the show you want to watch isn’t available in english sorry, or there’s a bunch of live tv first because they don’t want their bloody subs to line up with the normal file for some reason.
