April 5, 201115 yr I'm new to unRaid and I've been trying to figure out this split level thing. I looked at different examples and how others organized their shares. I just want to make sure I use the correct split levels Here are the shares I want to create: HDmovies - Zombieland - Zombieland.mkv - Iron Man - Iron Man.mkv - Iron Man 2 - Iron Man 2.mkv TVshows - Parks and Recreation - Season 1 - s01e01.mkv - Season 2 - s02e01.mkv Using high water allocation and split level 1 for both HDmovies and TVshows shares ok? I would also like to setup a share for my sister's media: SarahsMedia - HDmovies - Adventureland - Adventureland.mkv - Superbad - Superbad.mkv - STDmovies - Office Space - Office Space.mkv - TVshows - Glee - Season 1 - s01e01.mkv Will split level 2 work with this directory structure? I don't mind movies being spread across multiple disks, but I would like tv show season folders to stay together. Thanks in advance! -Ryan
April 6, 201115 yr Yep, looks like you got it right for the first part. For: SarahsMedia - HDmovies - Adventureland - Adventureland.mkv - Superbad - Superbad.mkv - STDmovies - Office Space - Office Space.mkv - TVshows - Glee - Season 1 - s01e01.mkv TVshows the folder could be spread across mutlitple disks, but Glee for instance would be all on the same disk, and so forth. Another TV series could be on another disk, but everything within that folder would all be on the same disk as well. Shawn
May 19, 201115 yr Still not got my head completely around this, and its mainly TV shows confusing me. For movies, its clear you can be flexible where a specfic movie folder goes (so 'iron man' can go on disk 1, disk 2, I don't care), as movies are discrete and relatively small. but for TV shows that are ongoing or have many seasons, I don't think its necessary or particularly desirable to restrict the disks to a series. So I think I'd be happy for shows to go almost anywhere, as I'm only watching one at a time and they aren't split VOBs or anything. Perhaps for neatness I'd have one season per drive in case I watch a few shows back to back. But if you use a top level 'media' folder, then the TV shows need a higher split level than movies? Do you artificially pad the movies folder so that the levels match? eg media -movies -lovely movies -iron man ironman.mkv -TV -house -season 1 s1e1.mkv s1e2.mkv - season 2 s2e1.mkv - banana splits - season 1 then set the split level to '2'? so I can have multiple house folders created, but each season is in the same place?
May 19, 201115 yr If you're using one base share, Media, for Movies and TV--then yes, the levels will have to match. Unless you use Split Level 0, and create the folders on the disks you want to allocate to. Split level 0 gives you more flexibility, but forces you to create where you want stuff to go. Under Movies, you could then section them as HD movies, SD movies, or 720p, 1080p, etc..if you want to stick with split level 2.
May 20, 201115 yr Or do what I did, specifically for this. Created a top level movies and top level TV and shared both out. Movie is set to Level 1 and TV is set to Level 2. Few more shares to manage, but I am ok with that. Or like you said, for a single top level, pad movies. I myself have all my systems run a "logon" script at startup, just batch file in the startup fodler in some cases, that does all the mappings I need. Right now I have 9 different top level folders so I can manage minimum free space, included and excluded disks, user access, split level, etc. per share. Shawn
