so if i label each episode as s01e01.mkv then will jellyfin when i look at the file on my tv see it as the actual name of the episode?
RE: request for file system info - TheDreadPirate - 2024-10-20
Yes. Jellyfin pulls metadata from TMDB, by default. It uses both the file name and the folder name for the show to construct the query it sends to TMDB.
In my example it would use "Violet Evergarden" from the folder for the show, and season 01 episode 01 from s01e01.mkv. And so on.

I must admit I'm more of a visual person so it took me some time to also work it out,but it's actually simple once you have done it that first time.
