A newbie question

[cyberlauncher]

Sorry for likely a repeat question but, I'm lost on how to do sorting and classification of videos.
I have a directory structure of /studio_name/series like "../vixen/tushy/," etc.
The file names are structured as an example - "mommysgirl - actress, actress, - (MM-DD-YY).mp4".
As it is now all files are displayed in "Scenes" and stills are in "Images".
How to I get stash to display the files the Movies, Performers, Studios, etc properly?
Thanks in advance.

While you potentially could parse your directory and file names to match against performers, tags and studios with the settings => tools => scene filename parser, I personally would not work through that approach because you would still miss the cover images, descriptions, titles and whatnot of your scenes.

I recommend working through this guide instead to get the most out of stash:
https://guidelines.stashdb.org/docs/guide-to-scraping/

For now movies are entirely manual work and are just collections of scenes.

Thank you HereIam80! This is what I was looking for.

Would you happen to know how I can have multiple paths to different collections for the data path in Docker?
For example if I have one collection on /alpha/ and another on /beta/

Could I structure the docker-compose.yml like - /dev/disk/by-label/alpha /dev/disk/by-label/beta/:/data ??

Couldn't you just create subdirectories in /data with both - /dev/disk/by-label/alpha:/data/alpha and - /dev/disk/by-label/beta:/data/beta? I wouldn't expect any problems as long as stash has access to the parent dir. You could then add a bash script to create symlinks (in the parent dir) of the files (contained in the subdirs) while ignoring files with existing symlinks and cron that. I could even imagine adding the name of a symlinked file to an ignore list, so that you don't have to read the contents of all the folders every time the script runs.

Yes. Of course. Thanks!
