I'm new to this, and I'm having some issues. After creating a new library, Jellyfin usually only finds metadata for about half of my movies. The other half I have to fix manually. The problem is, on some movies and shows the "identify" function simply doesn't appear in the menu. It seems to happen mostly with shows, but some shows are just fine. For the shows that don't have it, there's no description and no episode titles. It's very frustrating, as you might imagine.
For the things that do have the "identify" function available, it doesn't always work. When I use it to search for something, it takes 3 to 5 minutes to bring back results, and when I select a result it then takes another couple of minutes to apply it. Even worse, after all that waiting it doesn't always work. Sometimes it goes back to my library with the same generic thumbnail on that movie or show. It wasn't always like this. When I first installed the program "identify" worked fine, for the movies where it was available at least. But now it's not, and I'm not sure why, as I haven't changed any settings. I have thousands of movies, many of which need to be identified manually, so this is a big problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
