I'm not looking for workarounds which require work, in all honesty. That's too much maintenance. I have a lot of new files coming in all the time. Manually renaming thousands of movies, hundreds of shows. It simply isn't feasible. I need the system to handle it, like Plex does. Not anything to down vote, it's just a requirement for me. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    Well yes, it might be a simple feature, but it's still work someone has to do, and there's many requested features - as well as maintaining the current feature set. I do expect Jellyfin to get this feature at some point, but it might take another 5 years.

    As we're talking about existing/missing features: Sadly there's an internet connection required to login to Plex, which is a no-go for me.

    And I'd really love a feature to be able to share my library with someone while being logged in the same account. I.e. a kind of federation without duplicating content. Iirc Plex has something like this, by keeping the Plex server and user account separate.

    I mean, sure. It's a community project too, right, so turnaround is even longer probably. I know it's not going to happen at the flip of a switch, I'm a software engineer by trade. I'm just saying that Plex handles this while Jellyfin does not, so I'm going to use Plex until this works in Jellyfin.

    I was looking into the Merge Versions plugin, but I'm hesitant to use it if it means that it'll go into my library and rename all my files. I don't want that. But I couldn't find a description of how the plugin works, so I'm holding off for now.

    Sadly there's an internet connection required to login to Plex, which is a no-go for me.

    I don't think this is necessarily true? You can manually enter the server address without logging via plex.tv, I believe.

    Emby also seems to be able to automatically merge different versions of shows/movies.

    I've asked someone and MergeVersions does not change the file/directory structure/naming.

    Though the same person also mentioned issues with duplicates even after removing the second library with UHD.

    In general plugins like IntroSkipper and PlaybackReporting work flawlessly but I'll stay away from MergeVersions for now and handle movies with mergerfs for the moment.

    You're right, it's possible to login without internet if local network access without login is enabled in settings beforehand.
