Category for media that is not a Movie or Show - Mixed_Fabrics - 2025-01-03 If I have a collection of videos, for example TED Talks - these are not a Movie or a TV show... How can I organise this type of media in Jellyfin - there doesn't seem to be any other kind of video category? TED Talks is one example, but I don't just need a solution specific to TED Talks - there are potentially many other kinds of videos that are not Movies or TV. Are there any helpful Plugins for this that people can recommend? Or do I just have to bodge it by sticking them under the category of Shows? RE: Category for media that is not a Movie or Show - Efficient_Good_5784 - 2025-01-03 I would try the music video library type as that would most closely follow a folder-type view. RE: Category for media that is not a Movie or Show - TheDreadPirate - 2025-01-03 You can try this plugin. But it requires some additional work to automatically pull down metadata. Assuming it still works. https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin You could use any library you want as long as you bring in metadata via NFOs. RE: Category for media that is not a Movie or Show - theguymadmax - 2025-01-03 I second the use of the music library. Specifically for TED Talks, you should be able to add it as a TV show using the TVDB plugin. RE: Category for media that is not a Movie or Show - bitmap - 2025-01-03 I use a tool with a lot of ability for total automation and an overarching TV shows library. You can still use folder-ish views, but metadata is grabbed when the media is acquired. You have the flexibility to categorize however you'd like, though the standard for that tool is channel/uploader as series name, year as season (e.g., Season 2024), and uploaded date as episode. Even with things that aren't shows, it works quite well -- it is dependent upon your naming scheme, however. |
