Originally created by @mr-simba on GitHub (Sep 6, 2019).

I have the following folder structure:

/folder A
|- video1.mpg
|- /folder B **(subfolder of folder A)**
   |- video2.mpg
   |- video3.mpg
|- /folder C **(subfolder of folder A)**
   |- video4.mpg
   |- video5.mpg

When I import /folder A to a new library, only video1.mpg is shown there.
Videos 2-5 that are in subfolders are not shown.
Is there a setting that I have missed or is there a problem?
