    Not sure if this is the right section but here goes:

    IS there a way, or part of future development, or areason otherwise in general, for Jellyfin to scrape all available metadata from a local source? Specificly from an existing NFO. This isn't about having JF scan more data from online resources and information providers, per say, but if having it already presented can these fields be included into JF for population and then pushed to other clients?

    I don't use JF as my media scraper, I use (for better or worse) Kodi,  which scrapes many things like various ratings for a movies from Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb, TMDb, even Trakt. It scrapes the IMDb Top 250 placement and there are other things which all get exported tothe local NFO file. Then I use Jellyfin to scan all the local files for that entry, but JF doesn't bring in ALL of the available information. I've yet to see a possible reason for this, and many of those possible fields don't exist in the JF metaata editor to even add manually.

    Is there a reason to have JF NOT scan in all the available information, hold it in the database and then push out to clients and such that can utilize? I can understand not eanting to deal with some of the issues pulling this info directly from APIs so staying away from that but if that info is already there, or even wanted to be entered manually, why not have fields in the metadata for Rotten Tomatoes et all?
    JF Wish List:
    IMDb Top250 metadata
    Read Music Album Sort
    Soundtrack link to movie by title/sort/Manual
    Media info shows added to Collections
    Collections WL:
    Content Rules - Library-Title/Sorttitle/Tag/Director/Filename/Contains
    Organized by Library
    Scanned to Editable XML
