Kodi doesn’t organize your media, you use other applications for that (tinymediamanager, sonarr/radarr, etc).
The default library layout, for Plex/Jellyfin/Kodi is very human navigable, for example TV Shows are in this format:
TV Show Name
|-Season 1
|-Season 2
|-\-S02E01-Episode_Name.mkv
There may be a few extra files in the directories depending on what metadata you’re storing and what you’re pulling from the Internet, but it is organized and navigable.
aight, I never said that Kodi organises media, if it tried to, I would shoot it on sight.
I organise my media, ebcause it’s media I’ve decided I want to keep and organise accordingly. Kodi has very specific requirements and cracks the shits if you don’t give it exactly what it wants. If that fine for you, then that’s fine for you. That is not how I roll
how I do roll:
-> \fileserver
–> Sci fi series
—> Babylon 5
----> 1.01 - Midnight on the Firing Line
----> …
----> 2.01 - Points of Departure
etc etc etc.
I’ve played with a translation file so Kodi’s file scrapers can understand that X is Y and react accordingly, but it’s very “my way or the highway” and I don’t bow to a machine. When it refuses to even acknowledge the existence of a file (as in just display the file name, not necessary with any metadata) unless it can jam its thumb up there, I’m out.
