Any programs for metadata download? - LeviFiction - 2024-03-12
Hello,
I had to cancel my home internet recently, so my Jellyfin server is unable to download new metadata. It's been nice to have the streaming even offline, but any new movies or shows I rip to the SSD require manual metadata entry. I'm wondering if there are any existing projects that will auto-scrape and create NFO files that I can then import into Jellyfin? Would really speed up the process.
I know IMDB produces those .tsv datasets (though those don't include images). And I can probably work out a solution with Python and BeautifulSoup if need be. But thought I'd ask here first so I don't waste my time unnecessarily if something written by someone more competent already exists.

One of the *arrs apps can write NFOs and images for you. I think Tiny Media Manager can as well. Jellyfin should pull those in without needing an Internet connection.

Thank you for those options. They do download the data. Well ... I can't access the *arrs apps at work but the demos I've seen look interesting, hopefully the library's wifi access doesn't block them so I can play around. But Tiny Media Manager looks like it'll do the majority of what I'm looking for even on the free version. I do have to trick it into loading movies since I won't have the movie files on my laptop, but that's not hard to do.
Thank you again.
