Just in case anyone stumbles across this.... another solution is to use .nfo files. I created a .nfo file for each of my .mkv episodes and updated the .nfo file with the show info. For example:
I created: Firefly.S01E07.Jaynestown.1080p.x265.nfo to go with the .mkf file: Firefly.S01E07.Jaynestown.1080p.x265.mkv
I had to look up the correct tvdbid and plot for each file. Anyway... I created the 14 .nfo files to go with the 14 .mkv files and jellyfin used the 'local' .nfo files for the meta data.
I created: Firefly.S01E07.Jaynestown.1080p.x265.nfo to go with the .mkf file: Firefly.S01E07.Jaynestown.1080p.x265.mkv
Code:
