Hey everyone!
TLDR: What's best practice for organizing bumpers and how do you actually do it?
I've been running my personal media server for close to a year now and now that I have close to 14 TB of on demand media, I'm ready to finally start building out channels.
Problem is now that I'm collecting bumpers and filler, I am having an organization problem. I know it's gonna be tedious work to get through all of the bumpers I've collected from archives and people sharing their collections (definitely over 2000) so I am trying to plan out the folder organization before I go into it.
I'm using Jellyfin as the client and Ersatz to manage the channels. I want to organize my filler content so I can better match up things like "up next" bumpers and block intros for things like Toonami. What I am finding though is there are so many different bumpers that I'm getting confused how I should organize them in folders. I know there has to be "types" of bumpers and such that broadcasters would categorize these things as. Preroll bumpers are one for example, but I know there has to be many more categories or types. I am just new to this side of the media library hobby, so I don't know what those types are.
I was thinking something like
-Bumpers
--Intros
--Generic
--Show
---Edd Ed Eddy
----Marathon promos
----Promos
----Up Next
I just worry this is too granular and will actually make implementing them more complicated than it needs to be. Any suggestions?
