    How do I change 'inherit' to 'shows' for media in a playlist?

    jellyfin is missing features which would let users select multiple files to alter their metadata at once

    Mixing your movies and shows in one library isn't helping with the matching of the metadata, you'll have better luck if you keep your movies and shows each in their own library. That way it won't try to match shows as movies or vice versa.

    You REALLY shouldn't have to edit the IMBD ID for each episode. Did you try going to the main screen for a show, click the three dots on the right, click identify, and then search for Shogun or whatever the show is click the correct one and then it should fix the metadata without you editing every episode.

    If it still doesn't match make sure your files have the correct naming structure and folder layout ie. TV Shows/Futurama/Season 1/Futurama - S01E01 - Space Pilot 3000

    You can bulk edit the metadata with third party tools like tinymediamanager but you would have to be using .nfo files and it's really more useful for videos you have besides movies and tv shows.
