Hello
Among my library of TV series, there's one where online metadata has conflicting info between sources. Looking up solutions I found out about .nfo files, so I figured I could write my own and bypass/ignore downloading metadata.
The guides say that for Jellyfin to read the files, I'd need to disable all metadata downloaders on the library, but that'd affect the other series. Is there a way to make it read the .nfo files just for that series? Maybe read the files if they're present, download metadata otherwise.
Also, if I use .nfo files, can I still have Jellyfin extracting thumbnails from the videos, or do I have to provide my own images?
Thanks
