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.

Follow the Trash Guides exactly for your arr stack setup. Don’t try to get fancy or take a shortcut. If you’ve already set up something differently, just redo it. Better to spend a little time now than a lot later.
Set up Tailscale. The free tier is probably fine for you, but if you’re extra paranoid you can run your own Headscale server instead.
Take notes. What you set up, what your docker files and configs are, and add any troubleshooting info as it comes up.
Use a password manager and keep everything in it.
