    Hello,

    I saw on https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows that you can store the tmdb id in the filename of directory name. I'm using it and i'm super happy with it !

    My question: is it possible to also store the order in the filename/directory name (aired, dvd, absolute order, etc) so when I re import my library on a new server, I don't have to manually edit the metadata for some of my tv shows ?

    This is a very niche "problem", but it would be a very cool feature if it does not already exists and I'm missing it.

    Bonus question: Should I put the tmdb id on every episode filenames, or putting it only on the main directory of the show is enough ?

    Thank you for the guidance.

    Not in a filename, but you can store it in an NFO file. See this post: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-tryi...play-order
