As a recent convert from Plex to Jellyfin, I’m going through my library correcting metadata, etc. and wondered what great ideas I could glean from the community.
I don’t use collections (should I?) because, at least on Plex, I could never completely agree with myself on what should be included in a collection and what shouldn’t.
At present I tend to just sort movies alphabetically (and then in order of release, i.e. 47 Meters Down comes before 47 Meters Down: Uncaged) and I use the sort title for that. But what do you guys suggest with things such as the Star Wars movies, or Indiana Jones movies — movies that don’t have similar titles, e.g. “Star Wars”, “The Empire Strikes Back”, “Return of the Jedi” — would you have them scattered alphabetically around your library, or would you use the sort title to call them “Star Wars 1”, “Star Wars 2”, etc. so they’re all grouped together (albeit breaking the alphabetisation)?
Any other hints and tips would be appreciated!
That’s exactly what I did on Plex and exactly what I’ve setup today on Jellyfin. Thanks! Seems to do what I want it to do.
I might give Collections a try as well, though. See whether it improves my library.
