Jellyfin can find my media files if they are within a subfolder of my media like \shows\Show1 but if I have any loose media in \shows\ it just doesn't scan them properly. I can find the em in the "Episodes" tab of the library but it doesn't seem to show them in main library tab. This affects using android/fire tv apps that browse the folder as they only show what's in the main listing.

This is why I was turned off of Jellyfin, I’d like to organize things the way I want
