Fixing series titles/listings - L_D_G - 2025-02-20
I'm trying to get my library up onto Jellyfin and have run into a naming convention problem.
{app we don't talk about - TDP}. I'm not sure that is exactly what I need yet. What I'm looking for is something that will either scan or take my selection of files and (or just whole folders) and figure out that I have all of the episodes of Entourage, they all just have bad naming conventions "Entourage [url] S1E(1)".
Of course, the first ep of Entourage is titled Entourage-poor example, but E02 is "The Review". So I'm hoping for something that detects the real name and offers to change it for me.
Again, with {app we don't talk about - TDP} I said I'm "not sure" if it is what I need. Maybe I am using it incorrectly. After my attempt with it, I had Jellyfin scan the folder and it went and put all 96 episodes and the movie in one folder in the Episodes tab (all showing up as "Entourage Entourage". Hoping to get that view to separate them out into Seasons as well, so I can easily look for S04E06 instead of, you know, counting.
How do I make this better? What am I missing?

Refer to the documentation for naming guidelines, but the structure should resemble the example below. If you prefer, you can use tinyMediaManager to rename your files instead of relying on Jellyfin to automatically detect them.
