I have just recently moved my entire media collection of nearly 15 years to a Media NAS with Jellyfin. I'm trying to figure out how to configure IMDB data collection. I've read the server guide for movies and shows and my structure is close, but not identical. My collection has tens of thousands of folders with hundreds of thousands of files. I've used a "slim" version of the name conventions, like so:
For shows, I've just set up the episodes under the season and under the series, sometimes under a franchise, with each episode as SSEE (or SSEEE in very rare cases) without the S##E## format because it seemed redundant to have all the extra labels on each episode.
For movies, I similarity tried to avoid redundancies by just placing movie series in shared folders with years and numbering for titles. Some movies series will even have (1984a) and (1984b) to sort the movies in order if they are the same year, but different titles.
Is there any way I can instruct Jellyfin to use this structure? To tell it to just auto read the titles of episodes as [Parent series folder -> Parent Season folder -> episode] for shows and [Parent movie series folder -> (year) movie title] for movies?
Otherwise it could take me months to rename my entire catalog to fit the set naming conventions, even with software like Bulk File Renamer.
