I want to add Pokemon Journeys to my jellyfin server, but jellyfin fucks up everything because it thinks it the regular Pokémon show from 1997 and imports metadata for that.
How can I fix this so it shows up correctly in jellyfin?

OMFG…i fucking hate anime and their fucked up way of doing seasons.
It doesn’t show up when searching for the name though
Isn’t there a plugin for anime metadata? Didn’t need it myself but maybe that would help too.
Yes, this is the answer. TMDB and Open Movie Database really only cover mainstream media. They won’t be much use for Anime unless it’s also pretty mainstream (like One Punch Man).
Didn’t think of that, I will take a look. Pokemon is the only anime I have in my server, and it’s only for the kids.
Aw man. I feel you. I got Paw Patrol on mine for the kid. And it was a pain with their shitty inconsistent episode orders too. Still, you do it for them anyways.
Hu? Pawpatrol is an issue? Worked fine for me, only that every file has two episodes and thus, well, I see what you mean 😂 was never an issue for my son
You can install the AniList and AniDB plugins and enable them on your library. From there, when you go to manually identify the series you can use one of the respective IDs to fetch metadata.
This doesn’t work. I can correctly identify the show using anilist and anidb IDs, but when I refresh metadata JF deletes the IDs, replaces them with a wrong tvdb one and pulls the wrong metadata.
Have you tried ticking the lock metadata button when you are editing it?
It’s possible to find Pokemon Journeys over xem by searching for it. Xem is a tool which tries to help dealing with the mayhem in anime. (The website is not optimised for mobile)
So Jellyfin by default uses The Movie Database. However, you can manually direct Jellyfin to use The TV Database for specific TV shows if you want. You just have to rename the Series folder. In The TVDB, Pokemon Journey’s is Season 19.
To have JF use The MovieDB, you have your rename the Series folder:
Pokémon (1997) [tmdbid-60572]. To use the TVDB, the Series folder would be renamed to:Pokémon (1997) [tvdbid-76703].Unfortunately, JF doesn’t support IMDB for TV. Only movies. Neither is ideal for your use-case though. Sorry dude.
Ive tried a million times to identify the show using anilist and anidb IDs, and it will correctly identify it, I have the season folder as season 19. But every single time I try to update the metadata, JF messes it up and ignores the identification I just manually made erasing the anilist and anidb IDs and replacing it with a wrong one and subsequently pulling the wrong metadata. It’s infuriating.
