    Hi All,

    Firstly, great product, well done those who've worked on creating & tweaking/improving it so far.   But I do have one problem.....

    Jellyfin noob, so if someone has already asked or I've missed the answer somewhere DON'T SHOUT TOO LOUDLY.....

    Got a number of rips which refuse to appear under Collections, common factor is they have a colon in the film title, but not in the ripped file name as it is an unallowed symbol.   Example Star Wars:  etc., Mission :Impossible  etc.

    Found somewhere that you need to copy the file name as it appears on IMDB for JF to recognise it, but that is how it appears on IMDB, & Windows (Linux too?) won't allow the colon.

    Can't find a way to manually add files to Collections in the way that I've had to name them, i.e. without a colon.   Without the file appearing in the first place I can't edit the metadata to correct it for storing in Jellyfin.

    Any solutions?

    Apart from that, I seem to have found solutions for all other problems encountered, so reckon I'll be sticking with this for my media.
