AI powered metadata scraping - Janne Kario - 2025-02-14
I've accumulated a collection of TVHeadend recordings over the years (terabytes, hundreds of movies and series) and mounted the recordings folder to my Jellyfin. I would like to have all the metadata for the movies in place. The problem is that I have to do it all manually. The filenames come directly from the Finnish EPG. For example "Elokuva: Alien: Covenant (16).ts". Jellyfin does not automatically identify the file. I can manually identify the file by selecting the Identify option, doing a search using the movie name and selecting the correct movie from the search result. However, I would not like to do this 1000 times by hand. I gave this task to chatgpt instead. I gave it the filename and said I wanted the IMDB id of the movie and it could produce it with almost 100% accuracy. Is there a way to automate this using some kind of API?

You can try using Tiny Media Manager. It may still require manual work to correctly identify your files, but it should automate a lot of the more tedious tasks of finding IDs and renaming/reorganizing files.
Also, you should use TMDB IDs where possible.

Yes. You can do it with a metadata provider plugin if you want to implement it.
