I’ve been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it’s not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I’m struggling to find guides on this and the documentation is quite lacking. I don’t know what I’m wrong. Are there certain rules I need to be following in order for Shoko to hash correctly? Does it hash the name? The actual ripped files?
My folder structure is setup in a way that Jellyfin properly recognizes it (without using the Shoko plugin yet), so like so for example:
- Fate/stay night: ubw (2014)
---- Season 01
---------- <episode> S01E01
- Fate/stay night: ubw (2015)
---- Season 01
---------- you get the idea
Since multi season anime often are separate entries, each season is usually its own main folder (which is one of the reasons I wanted to try Shoko to see if I could combine them into one so that I don´t have multiple entries for what is really only 1 anime series).
Anyone here that uses Shoko and have some tips?
Interesting. I’ll have to look at it again then. I figured that since AniDB also has UBW split between season 1 and 2 (listed as 2014 and 2015) that I had to list them separately too. This does work by the way, but it’s just really cluttered. Which metadata provider should I primarily use then if not AniDB or Anilist?
Hopefully it works for my other anime too
