How to auto-accept first result when identifying media? - roddy - 2025-10-27

Hi all,

I'm new to Jellyfin and have it running in a Docker on OpenMediaVault and so far it looks great!

Unfortunately Jellyfin (10.11.0) fails to identify 95% of my movies, where Kodi has no problem at all.

In Metadata Manager the movie Title and Year is always extracted correctly, but the metadata is not fetched automatically.
When I use the Identify command on a single movie file, just providing the extracted title, it is always successful.

How can I tell Jellyfin to always use the very first result from the (possible) list of metadata results when auto-scanning?
Doing this manually is really tedious.

Thanks!
