I’ve got my library just as I want it, and have made a couple of changes to the <sorttitle> in my movies’ .nfo files.

This is fine for a day or so, and then Jellyfin decides to overwrite my .nfo files.

I have them set to “lock” via tinyMediaManager but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Every day it’ll reorder some movies in my library.

Pretty sure I’ve also disabled the image plug-ins in the library so it shouldn’t be pulling any metadata from anywhere.

Not a huge deal but incredibly frustrating — I want my library showing movies in a certain order and it’s driving me nuts when they’re rearranged 🤣

Any ideas?

TIA.

      Jelyfin is awesome but in my case plugins for metadata scraping are behaving somehow weird and slow. And I don’t trust Jelyfin regarding write operations so access is just read-only.

      I use tmm v3 for metadata scraping and renaming, which work great in my case.

          Last time when I checked, I have to pay for needed plugins on v4. V3 is a bit limited but “free” and fine for me. I plan to write my own cli tool just for scraping metadata, subtitles, nfo generation, renaming,… maybe some day…
