This was one of the main goals of my Jellyfin server. I have used the mixed movies and tv library type. It's been great!
After a bit of trial and error, and having our movies auto-named to the most bizarre titles I worked out a system.
I turn off all metadata scrapers and only have the Embedded Image fetcher and screengrabber toggled on.
For file naming conventions, YYYY-MM-DD-Descriptive Title-originaltitle.ext. The original title portion is used when I upload a raw unedited video and helps me with any necessary detective work sould I want to trackdown the original file more easily for further edits.
I have been using the tags to add actors (Family and friends) as well as genre.
My biggest concern with working so meticulously with the custom meta data is when i finally migrate my library to a new server.
Example of my library cover art attached.
