Shoko Server not recognizing any anime (feddit.nl)

I've been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it's not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I'm struggling to find guides on this and the documentation is quite lacking. I don't know what I'm wrong. Are there certain rules I need to be following in order for Shoko to hash correctly? Does it hash the name? The actual ripped files?

My folder structure is setup in a way that Jellyfin properly recognizes it (without using the Shoko plugin yet), so like so for example:

- Fate/stay night: ubw (2014)
---- Season 01
---------- <episode> S01E01
- Fate/stay night: ubw (2015)
---- Season 01
---------- you get the idea

Since multi season anime often are separate entries, each season is usually its own main folder (which is one of the reasons I wanted to try Shoko to see if I could combine them into one so that I don´t have multiple entries for what is really only 1 anime series).

Anyone here that uses Shoko and have some tips?

EDIT: thanks for the information and tips everyone. Seems like Shoko might not be what I'm actually looking for.

I'm not, but I can imagine the uploaded hashes might have been compressed

If you're keeping the files as mkv, you're reencoding them.

Am I? I have no idea, I just use MakeMKV to rip the disc. No idea how else to rip the disc. I'm not doing anything else to them. No Handbrake or whatever.

You might be able to get the same hash if you did a backup of the disk in iso format. It doesn't matter though since you wouldn't be able to use that format to play anything.

All that to say that these seem to be the wrong tools for what you're actually trying to do.

Yeah, seems like it. Thanks for the explanations though.
