Hello Jellyfin Community,
I'm seeking assistance with the automatic recognition of movie files in Jellyfin. Many of my movie files have names with dots as separators, e.g., "Movie.Name.YEAR.mkv", which seems to cause issues with the automatic metadata retrieval process.
While using IMDb's search with the same string yields the correct movie, Jellyfin often fails to recognize the file correctly. Manual renaming of each file is not a viable option due to the large number of files.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue and found a solution? Perhaps a plugin or a specific naming convention that could help Jellyfin parse the filename correctly? Or maybe a script that can match the files to IMDb IDs and update the metadata accordingly?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
