YMMV of course but Jellyfin supports manual tagging well enough for my uses. No need to change filenames and break folder structures you set up for easier navigation in file browsers (as I did), you can click the "Identify" option on a file/folder and search your enabled databases by title or IMDB number. Once you tell it what TV show a folder is for, all the episodes seem to get automagically recognized. It's just that first step that doesn't happen by itself when the folders aren't named "correctly", and you could probably get around it by using Tiny Media Manager to mass-write NFO files (which Jellyfin recognizes).
- Arn_Thor 3y agoHonestly, any manual tagging is still too much work. Jellyfin would be a better Plex alternative if it got this right
- finaard 3y agoThey used to have an auto organize plugin which was doing that very well - but sadly it is no longer maintained (and no longer working on current versions). I did have quite a few things not correctly recognized with Plex which went away after going to Jellyfin and letting auto organize do its thing. On the plus side, lack of auto organize made me properly setup the complete arr stack, which throws things into correctly named directories, does support batch renaming for existing stuff, and handles a lot of other stuff on top of that.
