    Is it possible to treat a miniseries as if it were a movie? For example, It (1990) was released in my country in movie format. When I put it in the Jellyfin library, it didn't identify it and when I indicated the IMDB id, it didn't pull up some information, such as the cast. Is there a way to do this or at least fill in the missing information without having to do it manually?

    With multiple files? Not really. You could change the naming convention to match the multiple parts documentation and get something similar. Single file? Also only kind of...you can name it so that it contains all episodes of the series, e.g., Series Name (YEAR) - S01E01-E06 [other_info].mkv.

    What I do in the case of a two part miniseries that gets released on a single file, I still add it to TV Shows, but name the file according to the naming scheme for a two part episode.

    Ex: It (1990) S01E01-E02 [tmdbid-19614].mkv

    Seems to pick up metadata just fine for me, as I also have It on my server.
