I want to add Pokemon Journeys to my jellyfin server, but jellyfin fucks up everything because it thinks it the regular Pokémon show from 1997 and imports metadata for that.

How can I fix this so it shows up correctly in jellyfin?

    I’ve manually set the title and IMDB ID, but the show doesn’t exist on tvdb or moviedb for some reason, so I left those two blank. But JF still fetches metadata for the original series despite this.

      Not sure then. I think Emby, or at least the way mine’s setup, only uses tvdb and moviedb for metadata. Assuming JF is similar. So if the show doesn’t exist there, it may just pull the next closest match regardless?

      AFAIK, you only need to set one of those. I usually set IMDB ID since tvdb and moviedb can pick up on that.

      Maybe someone else has some tips.

        I’m not sure, but you could be right…

        But apparently it’s considered the 23rd season of the 1997 show, despite having it’s own name and season 1/2 naming…IDK, it really annoying that I have to manage these things so manually. The entire point of pirating was that it should be easier, but this is just such a god damn nuisance.

          It’s definitely TVDB screwing with your results. This is what everyone uses for their TV databases (along eith TMDB for movies) and these issues happen occasionally. Unfortunately, the people that run it are major pricks and refuse to ever edit things like this. They’d rather ban users for asking than listen to reason.
