Hi everyone.
I'm wondering what options I have when files and folders aren't named with care and respect to the rules?
For instance, I (TMI - thedreadpirate). Each season was in it's own folder and the episodes was named using the same pattern. In Jellyfin however, season 1 came out all messed up. It showed too many episodes int the number of the folder(88/) and inside there were still only 65, many of them were given the same thumbnail too.
I resorted to precede the name with the name of the show and update. Everything looked as it should.
Now unfortunately I can no longer (TMI - thedreadpirate) since the names have changed.
So i was wondering whether there's a feature in Jellyfin, like I can create a dictionary, a json file that would map the name of the file to a new name that is then following the correct naming convention and that Jellyfin would understand.
