so im setting up a proper anime server and im kind of stuck on the metadata

been running jellyfin for a bit , had everything scan and it looked fine at first but then i noticed stuff was misclassified , wrong episode orders, some seasons (of the same show) getting merged when they shouldnt be. basically a mess

wiped everything and starting fresh. currently looking at shoko server + shokofin plugin as the proper solution instead of just trying to fix filenames manually

my situation is a bit different tho , i dont torrent. most of my stuff came from animepahe and similar sites so the files are encoded in mp4 ,

anyone gone through this with a similar source situation ? is shoko the move or is there something better for my anime :)

thanks!

Edit : Almost forgot ! if you have any tools, tips or anything really that would be helpful to a beginner like me (like tailscale) please mention them in the comments and i will check them out.

    TinyMediaManager renames all my files (anime or otherwise) so that any service can work with them. There’s very rarely anything that isn’t recognised properly.

    Shoko + shokofin is a great solution for anime, but if you get most of your stuff from streaming sources you might have to manually link almost everything (or add it to AniDB). I could be wrong and it wouldn’t hurt to check first with some of your catalogue. You could even just log into AniDB and look at the releases for an anime you have, maybe compare file hashes or test it with shoko desktop if that still exists.
