Introducing Jellyfin MetaCopy! - math-boy11 - 2025-07-31
Hey everyone!
I made a little tool called Jellyfin MetaCopy — it’s a script that lets you copy metadata between different items in Jellyfin.
I built it because I had a bunch of movies that were getting marked as TV shows by metadata providers, and there wasn’t really an easy way to move the metadata over. This script fixes that!
If you want to check it out, the code and latest releases are on GitHub:

Let me know what you think or if you run into any issues!

Is the solution not to correct the metadata on the provider that's giving you issues so that it is then correct for the general public?
I don't use metadata providers as my Jellyfin usage scenario is non-standard, so I may be off the mark with that assumption. Any TV show, film, or record, I've worked on, we've uploaded data to a variety of open databases. E.g., AllMusic, MusicBrainz etc. Submitting corrections is easy on those.

Yes but the problem is that the information on the metadata providers isn't "wrong" it's just that I want an item to be a movie instead of a 2-part miniseries/TV Show as it is listed on the metadata provider. Changing the info on the metadata provider would change it for everyone and I don't want to force my personal preference.
