Thanks, I use tinyMediaManager too. I’ve just tried locking the metadata on a few movies, will see if it works.

I’ll give it a try, thanks!

Yeah but how? I could make the volume read only via Docker but then how will new library entries get metadata?

How will that work when new media is added to my library, though? Will it add it without any metadata?

Yeah I thought that but couldn’t see Sort Title as one of the fields that can be locked.

That’s exactly what I did on Plex and exactly what I’ve setup today on Jellyfin. Thanks! Seems to do what I want it to do.

I might give Collections a try as well, though. See whether it improves my library.

Thanks for taking the time! 👍🏻

It wasn’t so much that — that’s very similar (if not identical) to Plex conventions, so that’s already taken care of and my metadata, images, etc. are all being picked up just fine. It was just the sorting order of my movies to ensure that sequels follow on from each other even if not alphabetical.

For example, “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”. Or “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, “War of the Planet of the Apes” and “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”.

I never actually used that, I probably should’ve taken a look before I stopped using Plex.

Maybe I am. It’s just things like, for example, Batman.

You have the Michael Keaton version and the Robert Pattinson version, so it’s just ensuring the ‘89 version displays before the ‘22 version (as an example).

Then you have The Dark Knight which would show under “D”, whereas Batman Begins appears under “B”, so not together. I got around it by just numbering them sequentially under the Sort Title. But it does break the alphabetical display.

Yes, I’m anal about my library 🙂

Haha you’re ignoring everything past “… With a Vengeance” then? Fair enough! 🙂

Maybe I’ll take a look at collections then if it’s really straightforward.
