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?
EDIT: thanks for the information and tips everyone. Seems like Shoko might not be what I’m actually looking for.
I haven’t really used those much but they will probably be better at matching your stuff automatically. Although it would be to TMDB’s data. TMM can do anidb but only if you pay for pro.
