Solution

As pointed out by @[email protected] here comment, and @iturnedintoanewt here, one can manually identify a show by clicking on the 3 vertical dots in the corner of a movie or show when hovering over it, and click “identify” (you must be logged in as an admin account). One then simply fills out the fields, as desired, to find the correct media.

I have a few shows that Jellyfin isn’t able to fetch the proper metadata for; they just display blank in the listings with only the original filename. Is it possible for me to select that show, and manually override Jellyfin to identify it as a specific show without renaming the actual file?

    I assume, the show is still grouped as a show, with all the seasons being recognised correctly, it just doesn’t know from what they are? If that’s the case, you can select “identify” in the three dot menu of that particular show and search for the show, ideally by adding a moviedb ID. That should fix your problem
