My main library is a collection of movies and shows - MOSTLY shows. Jellyfin is pretty good at letting me organize things into collections and playlists, but even at that point I still have to manually edit every individual item and change it from 'inherit' to 'shows' so that the metadata populates correctly.
For example, the recent HBO show "shogun" does not populate as a show. It populates as a japanese title for a movie called "What If Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa Was to Become the Prime Minister". And for shows like futurama or adventure time which have hundreds of episodes, this is a painful, grueling slog to manually go plug in the IMDB ID for each episode.
Can we please be allowed to select 200 media files, and insert the IMDB ID for them in one place? Or select 200 files and change their content type from 'inherit' to 'shows'?
Jellyfin is fairly good at getting the metadata right, but it can't seem to tell if something is a show or a movie, and when it messes up it creates a huge mess that has to be done slowly and painfully by hand.
