Naming Scheme for Shows by DATE - Phrenemy - 2024-04-05
What naming scheme is best for organizing videos by their release date?
Jellyfin's Shows naming scheme page hints that it can be done, but doesn't give any info on it.
Is something like
Series Name
Season 2022
Series Name 2022-08-23 Title.ext (mp4, mkv, ...)
Series Name 2022-06-18 Title.ext (mp4, mkv, ...)
Series Name 2022-06-15 Title.ext (mp4, mkv, ...)
Or does it prefer for the date some other form of schema?
thank you,

What exactly are you trying to achieve? The years in the folder names in our documentation are exclusively for identification purposes. Specifically for shows with similar names or remakes.

These files are videos fetched from youtube channels, which do not have metadata available from any sources I'm aware of, such as TVDB or TMDB.
I'm coming from Plex, where these files can be automatically included in the libraries and organized according to their release dates.
