I was informed here that one can manually identify a movie/show from within Jellyfin by clicking on the “Identify” button. This works great for the top-level titles of movies, and shows, but I can’t figure out how to do it for the individual seasons from within shows.
I have a show that Jellyfin is able to identify all but one of its seasons. I went to manually identify it in the usual fashion by clicking on the three dots, but I had no option to identify, as seen here:
I’m aware that I can manually enter in all of the metadata, but I would rather not do that if I don’t have to; I would much prefer it if I could identify it, and have the metadata be pulled in automatically.
Edit 1: I have opened a bug report for this here (if this is a bug), and a feature request here (if this is not a bug).
I haven’t seen such an opinion either unfortunately. Maybe you can resolve it another way?
Whats the reason it doesn’t identify it? Do you have it in a separate season folder? Did jellyfin wrongly identify the series as a version of it that doesn’t have this season?
The latter just happened to me with Doctor Who, I’ve got the 1963 series and it automatically identified it as the 2005 series. Luckily that was easy to spot
I’m assuming becuase it doesn’t follow the format of S1, S2 etc for the first season. The show that I have has the first season self titled, then the other 3 are numbered in the proper way.
Very interesting idea! But, unfortunately, no I don’t think that is the case here, as it’s the first season that is not being identified with the last 3 are being identified just fine.
If its only one season you could manually name them S01E01 etc.?
If its many episodes, there might be a Linux application out there for batch renaming. Or write a bash script or ask Chatgpt to write one for you :)
Unfortunately, I cannot rename the files (extraneous reasons out of scope here).
