Merge movies with different resolution on different paths? (lemmy.ml)

I know this works if I have, for example:

movies/
    - movie1 - 1080p.mkv
    - movie1 - 2160p.mkv

but what if I have:

movies/
    - movie1 - 1080p.mkv
movies2/
    - movie1 - 2160p.mkv

Because I'm out of space on the driver under "movies". Do I need to have them in the same parent folder?

Can you move other movies around so you have room to keep them together?

Worse comes to worst, if you're doing it just for this one movie, you could map one of the files into the right folder using a bind mount.

OP Here's more info on using bindfs on this suggestion. Basically creating a soft link inside the 'movies' folder to the 'movies2/movie1 - 2160p.mkv' file https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5521
