library scan not matching most media, same structure works in plex - skwilla - 2025-01-20

having some trouble with getting my library to be detected, I use the same folders with plex and it works fine, i only have to 'fix match' on a few select series but the rest i've renamed using filebot, the folder structure im using is what filebot uses for plex.

so in the anime folder, I have all series like:
Code:
Spice\ and\ Wolf\ -\ MERCHANT\ MEETS\ THE\ WISE\ WOLF\ {tmdb-229676}/
Spice\ and\ Wolf\ {tmdb-26707}/
Steins;Gate\ 0\ {tvdb-339268}/
Steins;Gate\ {tvdb-244061}/
Summer\ Time\ Rendering\ {tmdb-117933}/
Sword\ Art\ Online\ Alternative\ -\ Gun\ Gale\ Online\ {tmdb-78204}/
Sword\ Art\ Online\ {tmdb-45782}/
TRIGUN\ STAMPEDE\ {tmdb-204266}/
The\ Ancient\ Magus'\ Bride\ -\ The\ Boy\ from\ the\ West\ and\ the\ Knight\ of\ the\ Blue\ Storm\ {tvdb-411635}/
The\ Ancient\ Magus'\ Bride\ {tvdb-316842}/

and inside those would be Season 01, Season 02 and so forth... then episodes are like:
Code:
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E01\ -\ Izuku\ Midoriya\ -\ Origin.mkv

My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E02\ -\ What\ It\ Takes\ to\ Be\ a\ Hero.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E03\ -\ Roaring\ Muscles.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E04\ -\ Start\ Line.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E05\ -\ What\ I\ Can\ Do\ for\ Now.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E06\ -\ Rage,\ You\ Damn\ Nerd.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E07\ -\ Deku\ vs.\ Kacchan.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E08\ -\ Bakugo's\ Start\ Line.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E09\ -\ Yeah,\ Just\ Do\ Your\ Best,\ Iida.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E10\ -\ Encounter\ With\ the\ Unknown.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E11\ -\ Game\ Over.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E12\ -\ All\ Might.mkv
My\ Hero\ Academia\ -\ S01E13\ -\ In\ Each\ of\ Our\ Hearts.mkv

I have alot of media on a webdav share that is mounted via rclone, so the scan for me took a couple days and while my music and everything got added fine, the tv series and anime didn't get detected, except for a few, if i click on one manually and hit identify and put in the tmdb number in the foldername and click to add it that works but it takes a long time for each one, am i missing something when it comes to making this work? I don't want to rename everything as its working great with plex, but i do want to move to jellyfin completely soon as i love the way it handles live tv, way better than plex for my needs. I'm also wondering why jellyfin is actually downloading every file completely (the 2-3 day scan used about 10tb of bandwidth, which is close to my full webdav share, in comparison plex barely reads each file making the scan only use a few hundred gb, not a big deal if it only happens once but i'm on my 2nd full scan trying to get it to detect my media and it just wont, i added more metadata provider plugins this time but its back to reading the entire file for each and every episode without matching it)

in the logs im getting things like:

Not really sure what to look for, its like the {imdb-####} or {tmdb-#####} tags in the folder is not being picked up, or is throwing off the matching, but im not sure how to tell jellyfin to use that info as its already matched to the different metadata providers by filebot so it should work fine (unless im missing something?) again, it works fine on plex using the default scanner.

Really would love to figure out what im doing wrong, I dont mind running the scan again but being as it takes 2-3 days to complete i want to make sure i get it right so i dont waste another 72 hours and like 10tb more bandwidth lol. The live tv is working great in jellyfin and this is something i could never get to work well in Plex and also with music and books too I can have all my media in one also i hate to bug

Jellyfin is not Plex.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows

Jellyfin does not support provider ids within curly brackets.

RE: library scan not matching most media, same structure works in plex - skwilla - 2025-01-20

i understand that.. but there is no configuration or way for me to specify that i'm using plex naming? I'm still using plex aswell atleast until i get jellyfin working correctly is there a plugin or anything that would allow me to quickly identify shows? if it supports ('s and ['s is there not some way to tell it im using {'s instead? jellyfin can use ('s and ['s yet plex forces you to use curley braces am i just stuck with no options then? i don't want to break my plex library yet, is there not some script or helper for symlinking everything to a new folder structure for jellyfin? I'm not trying to complain or anything and im super grateful for jellyfin and plex both I even used jellyfin a long time ago but always had issues getting my library working right, plex always just worked I wanted to check out jellyfin again as i would much rather use it if i can get it to work but i have a very large library and i wouldn't know how to begin switching it all, ive spent weeks just inside filebot getting everything to plex's conventions and sadly im not a programmer, has someone in my situation much smarter than me found a method to help with this i guess is what im asking? again im sorry for the rambling just the thought of trying to manually fix it or to even manually identify each thing (if it only took a split second like in plex where i could hit identify, select the show hit ok, goto the next one.. this might take days but could be doable) in jellyfin when i click okay after selecting the correct item it takes a very long time to complete before going back to the library, so even doing it that way would take weeks or months) i'm hoping im overlooking something

RE: library scan not matching most media, same structure works in plex - skwilla - 2025-01-20

Re-reading the thread, and the link.. it shows it supports both brackets and ('s why is curley braces out of the question? it seems alot of people are potentially coming from plex is there a reason why jellyfin cannot (or will not) support this?

seems like the fundamental logic is already their for handling the ID's inside brackets and parentheses, is there some reason why curley braces are out of the question? I just feel like it would improve the lives of alot of people and help more users transition to jellyfin, its about the only major hiccup i have, again i apologize for ranting but im very curious about this and really really would love to get this to work

RE: library scan not matching most media, same structure works in plex - TheDreadPirate - 2025-01-20

The file/folder name parser is mostly still inherited from when Jellyfin forked from Emby. The parser is a nightmare-ish bit of code that few have dared to touch for fear of breaking everything.

So square brackets is what is needed for provider IDs and it will likely stay that way until a brave soul decides to try to decipher and improve the parser.

You can find a feature request and discussion about it here: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-naming-parity-with-plex

I recommend using tinyMediaManager to generate external NFO files. This will allow you to maintain your current naming scheme.
