Custom roles - bounce - 2025-03-12

It would be nice to be able to add custom Role types in the metadata.
Right now it's a bit limiting if I want to search for a cinematographer for example. Since this is not an option.
It would be awesome if it could get more info from IMDb or TMDB as well. As this would help a lot.

I'd like to see this as well. It looks like tMDB supports roles like Director of Photography, so hopefully it's trivial for Jellyfin to add this kind of feature. I too would like to be able to see a list of all movies in my collection by Cinematographer for example.

Adding custom role types and integrating with IMDb or TMDB would improve search, especially for cinematographers.
