Make use of titles from online metadata only - theox - 2024-11-26
Hello,
I have some files that are named by ID and I manually fetch the metadata online everytime I add some. However, on Jellyfin, all titles are either the filename (ID) or the embedded title (also ID).
Is there a way to either:
- Force rename all my file with the metadata I have fetched from my online source.
- Show only the title from the online source.
And is there a way to do a batch modification?
Thank you all.

Jellyfin will not rename files for you. Do you have these two boxes checked?

That's okay, it doesn't have to change the file name then. I just want it to display the online metadata name.
Yes, I tried it with those two boxes checked, it would still use the ID. I unchecked them and restarted and rescanned, still the ID. I even tried checking both while doing the aforementioned reload and it still did not want to show the name from the fetched metadata.

Tiny Media Manager can aid in mass renaming. I believe it has presets for naming files and folders that are compatible with Jellyfin.

Our documentation provides examples. Using IDs alone for file names is definitely NOT going to work.

Yes, I realize that it is not going to work. I use IDs to keep track of the files in a different software I wrote. It would just really be helpful if Jellyfin could display the titles from the online media sources I manually matched each file to.
