The Legend of Zelda (1989) - Crispy_Cat - 2025-03-17
Hi Jellyfin people! Made the switch from plex and love the self reliance and open source nature of the service so far. Excited to get tailscale set up and move off of Spotify as well. It's been very smooth, and I've learned a lot along the way (troubleshooting my own dumb mistakes
). That being said, I've had an issue for a while with a particular show; The Legend of Zelda (1989). As far as I can tell, it ran alongside the Super Mario Bros Super Show, but the Movie DB lists it as a separate entity when using the identify feature. When first put into my server, it was listed as "The Making of The Legend of Zelda", a documentary. Manually correcting all the information, then the next time I rescanned my library, it identified as The Super Mario Bros Super Show. Going through Identify, it appears when searched, but after loading for a while, changes nothing and stays under the current metadata. I did a google search and found a GitHub thread with the same issue, but closed due to inactivity (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/6726). Looks like this issue is still present three years later. Any suggestions?

If you search themovidb.org, you'll see that they don't list that series, which is why it's being misidentified.
So, what are your options? Try checking another source to see if it's available. Searching TVDB provides a match. Here's what to do: Go to your dashboard, navigate to Plugins, and from the catalog, install TheTVDB plugin. After restarting the server, go to your library and enable that metadata provider. Then, you should be able to identify it using the identification function.
