I cant figure out the best approach for adding mixed type music documentaries to my Jellyfin.
I currently have Jellyfin setup with "Movies" and "Shows" libraries and they work fine. But I want to keep my "Music Documentaries" seperatley, but have run into issues on Jellyfin with mixed types.
So I made a "Music Documentary" library on Jellyfin and made it of type "shows". But the thing is, some are one-off movies documentaries (like Amy (2015)) , some are shows (Seven Ages Of Rock (2009)), and some are things I got off YouTube and put together like (The Damned - various music doco collection)
I didn't use the "Mixed Movies and Shows" option for the library because a github post suggested they are thinking of getting rid of that in future versions of Jellyfin.
Today I have started using Tiny Media Manager to work with .nfo and plan to do that in future, rather than use Jellyfin to search internet because the other issue Is Jellyfin wouldnt download any info for any of the "Music_documentary" and when I put in the IMDB number it never pulled any images and sometimes pulled weird things and refused to change e.g. Amy (2015) correct IMDB number was pulling some weird Asian show images and info down.
To fix this I plan to be switching to using Tiny Media Manager and keeping .nfo and media locally, then disabling Jellyfin from searching the internet, but I still need to have "Music Documentaries" work with mixed types. shows and movies.
What is my best approach here?
