Question regarding split level

Hello,

 

I've been trying to understand split level and I still have a few questions. 

Automatically split only the top "N" level directories as required

 

From what is the Nth level calculated? Is it from the File being written? Or from the Share base?

 

I'd like to split my media only by seasons. Meaning top level directory that the file is in.

2 examples on my share:

So is the setting I want is Automatically split only top level?

The top level is the Share name (which maps onto a folder at the disk level).  Each additional folder in the files path adds another potential level.

 

Looking at your examples you would need '2' to keep all of Breaking Bad on the same drive or '3' if you are happy for each season to potentially be on a different drive.

 

Your second example has an extra folder in the path so not sure what you want to keep together there?

Well damn... There isn't a convenient way to count directory levels based on the file location? Like .net '..\..\MyFile' means 2 levels higher than my file. I would like that for my Media to keep all files in Season folder on the same drive...

 

If there isn't I guess the only choice I have is to remove the extra folder "Anime" and remap all my Emby / Sonar / Radar libs...
