ID Tags in Folder & File Names - roycrt - 2024-02-26
My current setup is emby feeding roku and it has been working fine for several years. I have been waiting for jellyfin to mature (especially with roku) before giving it a try. I’ve installed jellyfin, but have shut it down until I can get everything set up right. I’m also planning to load kodi on a pi4 I just got gifted to me in a few weeks and hooking it up to one of my TVs. I’m trying to get everything set up in a way that all these programs will play nice together.
A few months back emby started scraping my media with huge errors. Some of the movies/tv series the scraper chose were way off. So I started adding [tmdbid=123456] or [tvdbid=123456] to the Movie/TV folder name and Movie name.
Movies
| - Movie-name (year) [tmdbid=123456]
| |- Movie-name (year) [tmdbid=123456].mkv
emby docs state emby excepts [tmdbid=123456] or [tmdbid-123456]
After hours of web searching I can’t find what JF excepts. I’ve seen where [tmdbid-123456] is used in examples, but nothing stating what is excepted.
It seems that kodi depends on the scraper you choose, so that opens a whole other can of worms.
Also, I have some TV episodes named Tv-series S01E01-E02
Will the jellyfin scraper get these right?
Just looking for advice on what others have found to work.

In order to help with identifying a movie, Jellyfin can make use of media provider identifiers. This can be specified in your movie's file or folder name, for example:
Film (2010) [imdbid-tt0106145].mp4 or Film (201[tmdbid-65567]
Only use dashes, not equals.

Yes, jellyfin excepts the Emby syntax for multi-episode files.
