Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/9594

State: closed
Merged: No


It would be really nice to search for external files in sub directories. This would be especially handy in the case of anime.
Let me give a real example:

Attack on Titans
| Season 4
     | Eng Sub
          | [Crunchyroll]
               | 01.ass
               | 02.ass
     | Rus Sound
          | [StudioBand]
               | 01.mka
               | 02.mka
     | Rus Sub
          | [Crunchyroll]
               | 01.ass
               | 02.ass
          | [Firegorn Team]
               | Forced
                   | 01.ass
                   | 02.ass
               | Full
                   | 01.ass
                   | 02.ass
          | [SovetRomantica]
               | 01.ass
               | 02.ass
     | 01.mkv
     | 02.mkv

Changes
Just search for external files recursively.
I am absolutely not sure if this is the best solution and how much it will affect performance.
