Filename search fails - geohei - 2025-08-10
Good morning.
I manually add an .nfo file to every movie I have (my file naming differs from the Jellyfin naming scheme).
Due to the actual filename versus IMDb movie titile difference, I'm unable to search for a filename. I have to use the movie title as per IMDb.
Is there a feature/setting I possibly missed in order to enable this functionality?
Example:
Filename : "8 Blickwinkel.ts"
IMDb movie title : "Vantage Point"
Searching for "Blickwinkel" won't find anything.
