So one of my media libraries that holds movies and TV shows has recently reidientified everything incorrectly. It all shows up as some Asian show called Love Exposure.
How do i quickly get all the metadata sorted?
Just restore from your backup. You do have a backup, right? Right?
Seriously though, you should have a separate library for movies and another for shows. I don’t know if that will solve your problem, but it’s where I would start. And you should have backups too.
How does restore from backup help? I assume a rescan was because new media was added. If you restore from backup, the new media is still there, a rescan happens, and the files again get relabeled wrong.
Do you use the *arr suite? It’s technically for searching for torrents and other files, but it works great as a metadata manager. My Jellyfin library has been way easier to manage since switching to that.
Do you have an example of the incorrect metadata external ids if they are set? And what is the format of the files that was midentified?
All different file types were messed up. I was able to fix it by making a new library with the same path but splitting up the movies and TV shows as two separate paths.
