I've accumulated a collection of TVHeadend recordings over the years (terabytes, hundreds of movies and series) and mounted the recordings folder to my Jellyfin. I would like to have all the metadata for the movies in place. The problem is that I have to do it all manually. The filenames come directly from the Finnish EPG. For example "Elokuva: Alien: Covenant (16).ts". Jellyfin does not automatically identify the file. I can manually identify the file by selecting the Identify option, doing a search using the movie name and selecting the correct movie from the search result. However, I would not like to do this 1000 times by hand. I gave this task to chatgpt instead. I gave it the filename and said I wanted the IMDB id of the movie and it could produce it with almost 100% accuracy. Is there a way to automate this using some kind of API?
