Is it possible to trigger a reidentify of the whole library - Envie - 2024-08-12
I change my location because of parental control and now have 3 different types of age ratings. If i refresh the meta Data nothing changes but if i reidentify a movie it takes the right age certificates. My question is now, can a trigger a reidentify of the whole library?
Thanks in Advance

Go to Dashboard -> Libraries, click the three vertical dots on the library, select "Scan Library," and then choose "Replace all Metadata" for the refresh mode.

That does only scan for meta Data. And even if i select "replace" i doesnt work. Thats why i would need the Option to re identify all movies.

There is no way to re-identify all videos of a library.
Your only solutions would be to re-identify each show/movie one-by-one.
Or you can delete your library and all of its metadata, then re-add them back to re-create the metadata with your preferred ratings.
In order to re-identify a show/movie, you as a user needs to provide the correct ID from a metadata provider.
You would have to go one-by-one on all your media, get all their IDs, then give Jellyfin each media's ID to have any form of mass re-identify which defeats the purpose of having it be "automatic mass re-identification".

is the incorrect data saved to nfo files? if so, you'd have to delete those first

Replace all metadata will identify the file most of the time. I've noticed that sometimes metadata is "sticky" and won't change. You have to move the movie/show out of the library folder, rescan so that it is removed, then add it back in.

Will try that and come back afterwards

Well it sadly didnt work. I moved movies with in radarr to a New folder waited for jellyfin to update and moved it back but it still took the old metadata
