    I found the tMM Jellyfin preset and did some testing.
    Works fine, but I have some basic questions regarding the metadata acquisition concept.

    Assuming that I ...
    - would like to keep my media naming convention (see above)
    - would like reduce manual interaction to a minimum in order to gather metadata
    ... I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that either an external tool (e.g. tMM) or Jellyfin can scan media to provide metadata.
    Which approach should I give preference to?

    Assuming that I go for Jellyfin as metadata provider, what is the minimum and correct .nfo content assuming that IMDb should be queried?
      <movie>
        <imdbid>tt3322940</imdbid>
      </movie>

    or
      <movie>
        <id>tt3322940</id>
      </movie>
