Recently setup the *Arr stack&transmission+ JellyFin and loving it… (linux user, with always on server at home, behind a 5G unlimited connection)

I am a torrent person, dont understand usenet at the moment.

A few questions to fellow sailors:

  • how do you safely and easily import your existing libraries? (Movies tv.shows books…)

  • how do you manage multiple languages.in movies? Like having the movie in french and english both

  • where and how to search for audiobooks? Really cant find many…

Any tips for daily usage?

    For importing movies: two ways, depending on the state of your existing media.

    1. Point Radarr to your media. It might detect everything. Radarr will let you set rules for file name and structure. Follow jellyfin guidelines. Then let Radarr reorganize your files to the new structure. Then import to Jellyfin
    2. If it’s very disorganized, you might have to organize it according to the jellyfin guides yourself, or script it if you can, before importing to jellyfin.

      If you want to, you can save some disk utilization with Autoscan: https://github.com/cloudbox/autoscan

      It essentially gets poked by any *arrs that there is a new folder/file in a certain directory and contacts Jellyfin, which picks that up immediately, you can disable Autoscan in Jellyfin then and your content is quicker to access.

      It supports multiple sources and targets, and you can even translate paths, in case it differs between source and target.
