    You can enable multiple metadata sources and you can sort them based on what priority you want them to apply for a library.

    From my understanding of all the current anime plugins in Jellyfin, AniDB has the best metadata for episodes, while AniList has more complete pictures/covers for things like people and actors. tmbd has more backdrops than the anime plugins too.

    Just name your anime according to how Jellyfin expects in the documentation and how they're sorted your main metadata source for the library.

    You would organize them how your main metadata source has them listed.

    AniDB usually has specials listed after the episodes at the bottom of the anime page.

    Unless a metadata source has this info in the titles of the episodes, Jellyfin can't do this automatically. You'll need to do it manually by hand.

    Or simply just don't add the filler episodes to your library. Or just skip them when they play.
