All I can say it isn’t this way for me. At the point where I made the move to jellyfin, my filenames where in all different types of formats. Jellyfin was able to organise them all. Only a few files were not recognised like the other commenter said.
Are you sure? I’ve been just dumping my files into a folder and Jellyfin manages fine. If it’s music, you only see the files in your “songs” tab though, not in any of the other ones. Slightly annoying since there’s no Multi-Select in the Songs tab if you want to add them to playlists, but you can definitely access them just fine
my experience was it just fully ignores anything that doesnt meet the draconian file naming standard
The Linux elders deemed you unworthy then.
if the jellyfin devs are linux elders, god help us.
