    Using Jellyfin as your server and Kodi as your client for the easy TV interface experience is AWESOME. It sounds like you need to do a bit more learning on managing your media libraries though. Believe me there are some tough lessons early but once you figure out a few things it makes future life so much simpler. First and foremost, make sure you use a proper naming convention and then ensure all media related files are saved locally. Most important is the NFO files for much easier identification of the media in the future when, not if, your database dies.

    If you use JF as your media scraping service it can do all that. Or within Kodi the same but you need to manually export the metadata/artwork files after.

    A dedicated media machine is a great idea. If you think 6 1-3TB drives is giant though... well, can't imagin what you'd call 35 4-24 TB drives!
    JF Wish List:
    IMDb Top250 metadata
    Collection content rules: Library-Title/Sorttitle/Tag/Director/Filename/Contains
    Collection organized by Library
    Collections scanned to editable XML
    Media info show added Collection
    Soundtrack auto link to movie by title/sort/Manual
    Read Music Album Sort
