I had a couple questions on what Jellyfin actually does and does not do when it comes to the library management aspect of things. I’m primarily a Kodi user but I’m also a bit of a control freak and I never liked leaving the cover art and descriptors up to the various databases. I liked using a separate library tool so I could fine-tune each entry and I could get the best quality poster image or find one I liked better than what was available in the databases and save the final product and preferred images along with an nfo file within a folder that contained the media file. That way, if I ever had to change things or start over, the bones of my library are all still there and it just needs to be rescanned by whatever system I’m using to all be put back together. Jellyfin seems to be using my existing library information. I’m still learning the UI, so I’m not totally sure, but can I basically do everything I want to do all within Jellyfin itself like modify or generate nfos, change the art work and then actually save it locally with the media file? Or are there some limitations and I should keep using a separate media manager tool like Mediaelch?
