so I spent the last five days getting my head round this programme and CHANGING my media library to cater to its whims. Not a lot of success. SO MANY films are wrongly identified, despite me giving NAME AND year, in the enforced brackets, and GIVING UP EVERYTHING else I had on file, like director names. I was hoping for jellyfin to facilitate my enjoyment of films (and in fact was pointed to it asking for a SIMPLE software).
is there none, or can I not find the setting to use the catalogue offline? all my files are on a hard drive. there is just no NEED for the internet just to show me what is already here.
how can I search by colour/BW, director, length, resolution, country or ANY OTHER perfectly banal feature?
why, if I have an srt file in the folder, the FILM shows up twice in the gallery?
from 539 items, only 514 are found? (it's NOT the 3 srt files). how can that be?
why can I not set WHAT to display on main gallery: film names and posters in original language; director; colour/BW. also, can I see actual posters and not just film stills?
why must I confirm EVERYTHING TWICE? why can I not do so via Enter?
why does it jump to the top of the list EVERY TIME rather than staying where I was?
can I please see all film names and posters in their original or MY SET language? I see a POLISH poster (yes, with polish writing) for a french film in french, jellyfin set to english!
can I please always see POSTERS rather than film stills? should I really have to edit EVERY FILM INDIVIDUALLY?
why can I not set which languages not to subtitle?
how can I search for at least: film names; director; black and white; country - and get shown ALL matches?
I cannot WRITE MY OWN PROGRAMMES! sorry, just not my skills.
please, are there solutions? I'm open for and happy about ANY constructive solution!
just please don't make me REDO ALL MY INDIVIDUAL FILES AGAIN
I must say, am also quite shocked at the culture of jellyfin! "Requests for troubleshooting will be IGNORED" on the only actual contact form. WOW. and the forum registration gives off error after error, EACH TIME forcing you to redo the stupid "captcha". Not cool.
