Wrong Meta Data keeps linking to Properly Labeled Video

[comet424]

i noticed alot of files getting labeled the wrong video

for example

Deck the halls (2006)    
properly named  but jellyfin  keeps detecting it as Deck the halls on cherry lane (2024)    

i forcing it to refresh meta data.. i also changed the settings in the folder to only scan TvDB  

but it keeps choosing the 2024   and gets that info... now i dont know how many others are buggered up its just one of a few i noticed..

is there something to check?  it doesnt read embeded files  just should read the file name..

i first time user trying jellyfin  coming from plex

also tv cartoon show
Class of 3000 (2006)

but keeps coming up with
Class of '74

and no options like in plex  where u can choose the proper show from the scroll down window... but i dunno why its picking off wrong stuff?
special things i need to edit?


also how you fix the Sorting.. its all over the place  if something starts with "The" or "A" its mixed all over the place.. even if you choose name sorting ascending or descending..

There should be an "Identify" option which will allow you to input as much information as you know then do a search.  You can select from the results the correct version.  This should then download the appropriate metadata files and jellyfin should properly identify the video moving forward.  (You may need to refresh your viewer ... stop/start/restart.)

If you are viewing the video, there may be a "dot dot dot" menu option, which when selected will offer you the "Identify" feature.  You may need to be logged in as an admin/manager.

ah ok found that... ya i had to type the title and year and then it found 4 linked to deck the halls.. as deck the halls 2006 went to the 2005 version first then went to the deck the halls down cherry lane 2024

do you know why its doing that its not finding the correctly or it doesnt do like plex if it cant find it it just leaves it as unknown at the time... here this one just shoves any title in.. is there a way to if it cant find the exact year and name to leave it.. and not stick a random name in?

as i guessing ill have to do this with all my videos check them one by one if they are the right title



and you dont happen to know how to fix this A's The's there are mixed all around in plex you had to edit the xml file so it sort properly
