Parent folder shown as content when contains VIDEO_TS

Legacy 2nd gen Apple TV

I assume that it is a feature that any folder that itself contains a VIDEO_TS folder shows in Media player not as a folder but as content (blue dot instead of folder icon). This makes sense generally, but if you happen to have a folder that contains both playable media files and a VIDEO_TS folder, those other files are effectively hidden from the Media player UI.

Would recommend that the blue dot appear only if the folder containing the VIDEO_TS folder doesn’t also contain other playable media.

Thanks!

I don’t understand why you would have both?

I’ll often have a parent folder with a movie name; in that folder is the VIDEO_TS DVD rip along with a Handbraked .mp4 file (or multiple files in the case of TV shows).

Your best option will be to place the VIDEO_TS folder in it’s own folder inside the parent folder.

E.G.

Inception/Inception/VIDEO_TS

Inception/Inception.mp4

Doing this will show two playable copies of Inception, one being the original DVD and the other being the Handbraked MP4.

Yeah, I understand. Thanks.
