TV Shows order in filename - Dowdow - 2025-03-22
Hello,
I saw on https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows that you can store the tmdb id in the filename of directory name. I'm using it and i'm super happy with it !
My question: is it possible to also store the order in the filename/directory name (aired, dvd, absolute order, etc) so when I re import my library on a new server, I don't have to manually edit the metadata for some of my tv shows ?
This is a very niche "problem", but it would be a very cool feature if it does not already exists and I'm missing it.
Bonus question: Should I put the tmdb id on every episode filenames, or putting it only on the main directory of the show is enough ?
Thank you for the guidance.

Not in a filename, but you can store it in an NFO file. See this post: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-trying-to-set-up-nfo-file-for-tv-show-display-order
