I'm just settign up my first array to serve ripped media content. There are 2 type of content: Movies and TV Shows.

 

The file structure for the movies are:

 

Movies - Share

    -> Star Wars

         -> MKV + INFO/JPG files

 

The file structure for the TV shows are:

 

TV Shows

    -> Lost

         -> Season 01

              -> Episode 01.MKV + INFO/JPG files

              -> Episode 02.MKV + INFO/JPG files

        -> Season 02

              -> Episode 01.MKV + INFO/JPG files

              -> Episode 02.MKV + INFO/JPG files

    ->M*A*S*H

         -> Season 01

             -> Episode 01.MKV + INFO/JPG files

             -> ETC

 

So for the movies I want to keep all the files for each individual movie together. And for the TV shows I want to keep all the files under a spicific season together but let the seasons be on different disks.

 

What should I set the split level to for the Share Movies and the Share TV Shows?

I assume you mean this (with change in red):

 

TV Shows

    -> Lost

          -> Season 01

              -> Episode 01.MKV + INFO/JPG files

              -> Episode 02.MKV + INFO/JPG files

        -> Season 02

              -> Episode 01.MKV + INFO/JPG files

              -> Episode 02.MKV + INFO/JPG files

    ->M*A*S*H

          -> Season 01

              -> Episode 01.MKV + INFO/JPG files

          -> ETC

 

You want Movies = 1.

TV shows = 2.

^ what he said.

 

Do yourself a favor and use high-water or most free for the allocation method. The fill-up allocation method causes more grief here than the split level.

Thanks you are right, I fixed my post. Also thanks for the advice I'll set it up and start the long slow transfer process.
