setting up jellyfin for anime properly (lemmy.world)

so im setting up a proper anime server and im kind of stuck on the metadata

been running jellyfin for a bit , had everything scan and it looked fine at first but then i noticed stuff was misclassified , wrong episode orders, some seasons (of the same show) getting merged when they shouldnt be. basically a mess

wiped everything and starting fresh. currently looking at shoko server + shokofin plugin as the proper solution instead of just trying to fix filenames manually

my situation is a bit different tho , i dont torrent. most of my stuff came from animepahe and similar sites so the files are encoded in mp4 ,

anyone gone through this with a similar source situation ? is shoko the move or is there something better for my anime :)

thanks!

Edit : Almost forgot ! if you have any tools, tips or anything really that would be helpful to a beginner like me (like tailscale) please mention them in the comments and i will check them out.

I have never had an issue with properly named files.

Some tools to help with bulk renaming.

Krename

Link - https://github.com/KDE/krename

Useful for bulk renaming uniform files. I often use it to add the season when the file names just have the episode number.

Filebot

Link - https://www.filebot.net/

Great for renaming messy files. You can match the show name then it will try to get the season, episode and episode name

MediaElch

Link - https://mediaelch.github.io/mediaelch-doc/index.html

Excellent for pulling the metadata for a show into local nfo files.

Once you have the show name, season and episode number you can scrape TVDB or other sites for the episode data, thumbnails, actors, posters, etc

I then have Jellyfin use the local metadata that MediaElch has created.
