    I keep trying, I have an extremely large collection and it keeps falling flat on metadata matching. Especially with anime, yes I have installed the add-ons. They still suck. And for whatever reason it’s transcoding performance is nowhere near as good. It also still has an unresolved memory leak issue with a ticket that’s been open for a long long time about it. I want to replace Plex but it needs to be with something as good as Plex

      I use jellyfin a lot for anime, no plugins. I just label all my folders like kaguya_sama_[tmdbid-12345].

      As long as the The Movie DB id is there, aboslutely no problems indexing.

        I’d like to add that Jellyfin has a provider order that it checks for metadata from. I had some issues until I changed the order to pull metadata from the same provider that Sonarr and Radarr use. Once it checked there for metadata first, everything lined up and I’ve had exceptionally few issues.

            My provider order for stuff that Sonarr handles (shows/anime):

            1. TheTVDB
            2. AniDB
            3. TheMovieDb
            4. The Open Movie Database
            5. Missing Episode Fetcher

            I don’t know what the last two are and I doubt they ever get used. Sonarr uses TheTVDB

      I had a lot of trouble jellyfin and anime until I started putting things into season folders, even if they only had one season. So if I had Ano Hana I’d put the episodes in a folder like this

      Media Disk/Anime/Ano Hana/Season 1/episodes_here

      If it’s a movie, then it goes into a folder with other movies.

      Media Disk/Anime Movies/movies_here

      Once I started doing that, Jellyfin automatically recognized most Anime.

        I already do this, everything in my media is extremely cleanly named because they are handled by sonarr

        series name/season 00/EPSxxExx-“episode title”

        so it’s not a file format issue. It gets a lot of them but there are certain things especially if they are recently aired or currently airing where it will simply fail to find a match until I give it the Japanese name at which point it manages to find the metadata for the English name. Really stupid stuff like that

      Emby is the premium version of Jellyfin. I have found the meta information works a lot better. I haven’t done much transcoding but it does support it, and there are more apps to access it. Not too happy with the iOS app but the LG WebOS app works great.
