[improvement] Additional sub path for smb shares

[hannes-angst]

What happened?
When I select a smb share, say smb://nas/Multimedia, all media of this share is scanned and added. It happens that not only tv shows, anime and movies are in that share, but also music, photos and video recordings.

Steps to reproduce

1. select a network server

What did you expect?
Ability to choose sub paths of media shares.

One can now add multiple server containing one path ✅

Given the following configuration, the Profile -> Library shows odd entries:

• NAS-Anime: smb://nas/Multimedia/Anime
• Movies: smb://nas/Multimedia/Movies
• TV Shows: smb://nas/Multimedia/TVShows

Not sure why „TV Show“ is shows under Anime. The not selected Items are the defined folders. if I select them I can browse the folder structure but do not see episodes.

Recommendation: hide the folder so the user can just select the type of the media, the path contains.

Thanks for the feedback! This is all great information. SMB shares and media shares in general don't provide anywhere near the same structure as a dedicated media server (like Plex or Emby or Jellyfin), so I'm still working through it all.

I don't have an ETA as to when this will be fixed but I am aware of it and will try to bring media shares up to par with what we already do for plex/emby/jellyfin soon

There are some changes to media shares in 2026.9.7 (35) FYI
