Do any of the media server solutions retrieve metadata (that someone has made, if they have) for you? I would happily rip discs while I do other things so I can have the convenience of playing from a server and the ability to pick up where I left off. But I draw the line at entering all the metadata and sample images and stuff for seasons of a TV series.
- iamacyborg 3y agoPlex can definitely grab metadata from a number of sources, yes.
- sgerenser 3y agoWatch out, though. Plex metadata matching is not always reliable. One day my wife send me an angry text asking why I was adding porn to the Plex library. Turned out it decided to match a random movie (something innocuous like Jurassic Park) to some obscure Chinese adult film, complete with the expected cover art.
- BLKNSLVR 3y agoPlex and Jellyfin definitely do. Cover art, cast lists with pictures, genres, as well as remembering where you're up to in a movie or TV series.
- deadbunny 3y agoYes but not quite the same way as you might have experienced with Music CDs. Generally when ripping a CD it does the metadata scraping in the program ripping the CD which then gets stored in the resulting files (MP3, flac etc). Media servers match based on the directory/filename then store the metadata in their own way (files stored with the video, their own database, etc). So if you're ripping your discs you'll need to name the files correctly, easy enough for films, a little time consuming for TV show episodes.
