    Hi.

    Newbie question (after lots of Google searching).
    I installed latest JF on my Synology NAS.
    I have the following problem regarding metadata scanning.

    My naming is as follows (example): Annabelle (TV - 13.11.2015 1925 169 h264 MP2192en MP2192fr).mp4
    I am aware that this is not what JF expects for Movies.
    Hence, metadata for media file above is obviously not found (Anabelle (2014), tt3322940) by DBd.

    I came up with 3 solutions:
    1. Manually add IMDb Id as JF/Identity to every movie.
    2. Add an .nfo file next to the movie (same basename as media filename, but with .nfo extension).
    3. Appending [imdbid-tt3322940] to the end of the filename (Annabelle [imdbid-tt3322940].mp4).

    These methods are time-consuming since all must be done manually.

    Is there any possible solution I didn't think of to make the DB scanning process somewhat more automated, while keeping the existing filename convention?

    Thanks,
