setting up jellyfin for anime properly (lemmy.world)

so im setting up a proper anime server and im kind of stuck on the metadata

been running jellyfin for a bit , had everything scan and it looked fine at first but then i noticed stuff was misclassified , wrong episode orders, some seasons (of the same show) getting merged when they shouldnt be. basically a mess

wiped everything and starting fresh. currently looking at shoko server + shokofin plugin as the proper solution instead of just trying to fix filenames manually

my situation is a bit different tho , i dont torrent. most of my stuff came from animepahe and similar sites so the files are encoded in mp4 ,

anyone gone through this with a similar source situation ? is shoko the move or is there something better for my anime :)

thanks!

Edit : Almost forgot ! if you have any tools, tips or anything really that would be helpful to a beginner like me (like tailscale) please mention them in the comments and i will check them out.

Like others mentioned file structure is the most important. In addition you can also grab the AniDB plugin and set it as the primary metadata source in Jellyfin. (I had it for quite a while so dunno how much difference it makes compared to TVDB, but from experience I practically never had wrong metadata on an anime)
