Metadata handling - jellyfinlover90 - 2023-11-23 How does Jellyfin handle metadata? Say I have a movie or show, does it go through the internet and reveal the contents of my library? Like revealing identifiable information? What if I post the imdb number to fetch the metadata? How is that handled? How can I make that private? More secure? RE: Metadata handling - Venson - 2023-11-23 Hey @jellyfinlover90 Jellyfin has two build in metadata providers - The Movie Database (TMDb) https://github.com/jellyfin/TMDbLib - Open Media Database (OMDb) https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-omdb where we send the in the case and if the filename does contain the information: - The media Year - The media Name - The Type: Movie or Episode - The ImdbId - Episode Number - Season Number This is made as an Http request. That is all jellyfin does send to omdb. What is your specific concern if i may ask? RE: Metadata handling - jellyfinlover90 - 2023-11-23 I don’t want the Meta providers to know which movies or shows are in my library. Some are dvdrip from friends. RE: Metadata handling - TheDreadPirate - 2023-11-23 The only identifiable information they could potentially retain is your IP. Obfuscate that with a VPN service and they don't have anything, if they even keep track of that. RE: Metadata handling - Venson - 2023-11-23 @TheDreadPirate then your VPN has all the information. Not quite better. @jellyfinlover90 the level of "privacy" you seek is really not obtainable though legal means. The internet works upon IPs, so yes apart from those information i posted they will have your ip, however every website you visit will know them. I dont see why that should be an issue RE: Metadata handling - jellyfinlover90 - 2023-11-23 Any guide or way for me to have Jellyfin fetch metadata through my VPN? I’m running CasaOS Jellyfin with Docker. |
