Originally created by @iacchi on GitHub (Feb 18, 2019).

Right now, Jellyfin (like Emby) properly recognises series and seasons within the series if folders are in one of these two formats:

series/
--episode1.ext
--episode2.ext

series/
--season 1/
----episode1.ext
----episode2.ext
--season 2/
----episode1.ext
----episode2.ext

However, sometimes I have multiple versions of a series, e.g. one in sd and one in hd, or one in a language and the other in a different one. It would be great if Jellyfin could be able to correctly parse a folder structure like this one (example with sd and hd version):

series/
--hd/
----season 1/
------episode1.ext
------episode2.ext
----season 2/
------episode1.ext
------episode2.ext
--sd/
----season 1/
------episode1.ext
------episode2.ext
----season 2/
------episode1.ext
------episode2.ext
