Organizing by topic not file type?

It seems like with Plex you are encouraged to organize by Media type whether Music, Movies, TV, Pictures etc. But I'd prefer (and seems to me much more sensibly) to organize by topic so all related materials are held in a single folder. So I could have say:

Comedy -> The Marx Brothers

And under that say, various folders with say "Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel" (which is audio), "You Bet Your Life" (which is TV), "A Night at the Opera (1935)" (which is a movie) etc etc.

This seems more sensible (for me) to keep all material related by a single topic in one folder and in such a structure.

Does Plex allow this kind of structure? Rather than by file type structure?

So I guess to do this, I would probably be looking for the much discussed (not sure how implemented) browse by file tree function. I don't need my tree indexed (I'm very happy with my organisation, but I think hard to stop plex doing that), just basically want Plex's excellent transcoding but on arbitrary file types browsed in a single file tree.

Is this possible in Plex? If not, anyone know if this can be done with Emby or Serviio or anything else? I would like the transcode function so I can access my content over lower bandwidth links, so even though this structure is possible on Kodi it's not so useful over say 4G.

Thanks
