Wrong Movie Match? - fichelbyxa - 2024-02-07
Hi,
Noobie question, maybe:
When finding a newly added movie in a directory called "Monster - 2023", the library refresh gets the metadata for the movie "Goodbye Monster" from 2022.
Why?
How do I tell JellyFin to correct it?

if you named it "Monster - 2023" note that " - " is reserved for flagging
if not, what did you name it, exactly?
RE: Wrong Movie Match? - fichelbyxa - 2024-02-07
All my movies are named "<title> - <year>" in order to distinguish between movies with the same name but different years.
E.g. "The Ladykillers - 1955" and "The Ladykillers - 2004"
BTW: What is "-" flagging?

use the naming scheme https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies
when jellyfin scans files it looks for " - " to determine additional flags, when that exists it thinks what follows is a flag
flags are also outlined in the link above
