Force bulk (re) identify? - rs232 - 2025-08-23
I have recently discovered a consistent numbers of wrong title matches performed by Jellyfin.
So I took the decision to implement TinyMediaManager and have spent a full day performing a mixture of automatic/manual matching (identifying) and thus generated the hopefully correct .nfo containing IMDB, TMDB and wiki references in it.
It is my understanding that Jellyfin can read .nfo... but how do I force a bulk re-identify for the whole library, so triggering the usage of this new .nfo now present in each movie folder?
Thanks

From the homepage, select the context menu (three dots, bottom right) on the library you want to update. Choose 'Refresh metadata'. For refresh mode, choose 'Replace all metadata' and select the 'Replace existing image' option.
