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.


For my jellyfin a proper directory structure seems to be good enough most of the time:
series name/Season 01/S01E01.mp4
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/
Thanks @arshflugkoerper! that is definitely where i went wrong .
I am going to fix it and enjoy the anime thanks again!
