    I'm trying to set up an .nfo file at the root of a show folder to set the display order to DVD, instead of having to alter the show's metadata after I import it.  This is what I'm trying but it just results in the display order being set to blank.  No combination of capitalization or quotes results in it working.  I've read the Jellyfin documentation on NFO files but it's pretty sparse so I'm sure there's some critical information I'm missing here.  Here is my tvshow.nfo code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
    <tvshow>
    <DisplayOrder>DVD</DisplayOrder>
    </tvshow>

    Are you using NFOs as the exclusive provider for metadata? Or are you trying to set the display order via NFO?

    Case matters, try this:

    Just for things that don't get set correctly for certain shows by default like episode order.

    That did it!  So I did start out with lower case in "displayorder" but I must not have done DVD in lower case too.  I did try lower case dvd but only after I changed to DisplayOrder.
