    SOLVED: How do I get Jellyfin to manage TV shows?

    Can't get Jellyfin to manage TV shows like it does for Movies.

    I've just installed Jellyfin, first time. I have a single NAS folder with mixed Movies and TV Shows.  Jellyfin is identifying the Movie files and displaying a cover image and giving a friendly name. Looks great!

    The TV show episodes, though, don't get this treatment.  They just show the long file name and a random screen capture from the episode.

    I tried to "identify" and enter the TVdb number (like I had read in my troubleshooting) but the only options are movie related (IMDB ID, The MovieDb ID, The MovieDb Box Set ID), nothing TV related. How do I get it to manage TV shows properly?  I

    've seen this plugin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-tvdb but although I've added the repository I can't seem to get it to do anything.

    This is what my dashboard looks like:

    The Mixed library type only exists as a temporary landing point for people migrating from Plex. You will have to separate your shows and movies into separate libraries and folders.
