If your existing video library has video files inside subdirectories, you can get all the files into one directory by running `find ./ -mindepth 2 -type f -exec mv '{}' . \;` from the top-level directory of your existing video library. You can also delete any remaining empty subdirectories with `find ./ -mindepth 1 -type d -delete`. - Maybe start with a subset of your files to import to make sure everything goes well... - Follow the logs to monitor progress and errors: `docker-compose logs -f tubearchivist`.
