Welcome.
So, is there any hope for me?
Sure—as long as your willing to accept there are a number of different ways it can be done.
While you could use those folder names to populate a custom field used to categorize video in this manner (which might apply to more than just TV shows), a more direct approach is to use the folders directly. If the file path used is, for example, D:\Video\Old TV\[Series]\[Season]\, then
Filefolder([Filename,0], 2) returns 'Old TV'—your category. (The '2' means 'two folders up from the parent folder'.) Now you can use that in different ways. One would be to simple include that expression as the first category in your 'Shows' view. You would then first select one of those categories, then continue exactly as you do now (e.g., Series - Season - Episode file list). You could also use it in the
Rules for file display of four separate views nested under 'Shows' to restrict each to one of those categories. In that case, you'll probably find it easier to create a suitable rule using the UI provided—something like [Filename (path)]
contains 'Old TV').
The configuration is found at
Options > Theater View. If you're not familiar with it, use this an an opportunity to learn how. Becoming comfortable with it will pay big dividends. Let us know if you have any specific questions.
