I dont want to disturb your thread, but i think we should have the option to backup some of our configs, just in case something bad like this happens.

Go to File Protection > Folder Duplication. You will see the settings on each folder and change if you want.
There is a topic about Other somewhere. From my experience, files in use like virtual machine disks show under Other while virtual machine is on. Files outside the pool (root of the drive) also, thats not your case.

What kind of support are you guys talking about? Cant you decrypt Disk Y, mount to X:/ and add to the pool?
Right now i use bitlocker, during boot it decrypts all disks, then drivepool take them to the pool.
Re-installing: new pools, seeding, folder rules, no balancing, beta?

Ill answer what i know.
The way you want files stored is achievable. But i dont see a reason to create 5 pools. My file placement rules that have never let me down. I dont have any balancer on and File Placement Rules --> Never Allow files to be placed on any other disks is on.
2- Yes, just unhide or move folders.
11 - Drive Usage limiter should be disabled in my opinion, there is no advantage in your setup
12 - Same Above
13 - Same Above
16- Not necessary i think
17-I think you are right. Leave checked.
18-Duplication space optmizer probably.
20- What you want is possible by default. Balancing > File Placement, look for the TV Show folder and select every disk you want, For the Show 1 folder inside it, select just 1 disk. Be carefull with the except if the drive is full desire, you may end up with the same situation you didnt like, shows across different disks.
21-If Balancing plug-ins respect file placement rules is enabled, rules will come first.
If you are moving with caution you can test most things in a virtual environment with multiple disks. You are overthinking my friend, just set like this:
*Disable all balancers, except StableBit Scanner.
*On File Placement you can leave the main folder(TV Shows i.e) as it is by default (splitted on all pooled disks). In Show 1 enable never Allow files to be placed on any other disks and select the single disk you want it to be stored on.
Now show us a photo of this crazy setup with 50 disks
