Moving from Plex to Jellyfin - BlimBlamSmashySmash - 2024-03-13
I have moved from Plex to Jellyfin and all my films have instantly shown up in Jellyfin with the correct metadata. However, TV shows are not. I just pointed it at my Plex collection which I've used FileBot to name so it's proper. FileBot doesn't seem to work for Jellyfin. Do I need to manually rename everything for Jellyfin or is there a better way?

What are some example file/folder names? Are the shows in a Shows library type or did you use the mixed library type?
RE: Moving from Plex to Jellyfin - BlimBlamSmashySmash - 2024-03-13
Films and TV are in the same share but different folders. I'm using standard Plex naming convention such as Peaky Blinders {tmdb-60574}/Season 3/Peaky Blinders -s01e01 - Episode 1. Films are 8MM (1999) {tmdb-8224}/8MM (1999).

And each folder is in their own dedicated shows/movies library? They aren't in the same library?
Squiggly brackets {} will cause issues in Jellyfin. Jellyfin uses square brackets [].

Which is weird because it works fine for every single of the 5,100+ films I added, but not for the TV shows. Is there a reason you could think of to explain that? Also, I figured there were some changes required as I mentioned in my post, so my question was more about finding an automated, or more automated way than renaming each file one at a time. There are more than 20k files to change.

I would use sonarr. You should be able to change the file structure to jellyfins perfered layout on mass. Ive done it once or twice and had minimal issues.

I didn't realize Sonarr can do Jellyfin too. I was planning on having a go at setting it up this weekend, along with Radarr.

It can do anything you just need to set the file naming and folder scheme correctly. Radarr too I believe.
