So you should give each movie it's own folder, it works better for matching the metadata and especially if you later use some of the automated tools to manage your collection you'll want each movie and show in it's own folder.
so TinyMediaManager works good for bulk creating .nfo's for your media files, it will create the proper .nfo files, you can mass add a tag etc. This is really only useful for downloaded videos and not movies or TV Shows.
I use the .nfo files and it works quite well, that way any metadata is preserved by backing up the folder. Jellyfin will create a .nfo for each video as well as the various thumbnails.
The only downside is it can take a few seconds for the thumbnails to load if the drive has gone to sleep since they are stored with the media files on you regular hard drive.
