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?

    So Jellyfin by default uses The Movie Database. However, you can manually direct Jellyfin to use The TV Database for specific TV shows if you want. You just have to rename the Series folder. In The TVDB, Pokemon Journey’s is Season 19.

    To have JF use The MovieDB, you have your rename the Series folder: Pokémon (1997) [tmdbid-60572]. To use the TVDB, the Series folder would be renamed to: Pokémon (1997) [tvdbid-76703].

    Unfortunately, JF doesn’t support IMDB for TV. Only movies. Neither is ideal for your use-case though. Sorry dude.

      Ive tried a million times to identify the show using anilist and anidb IDs, and it will correctly identify it, I have the season folder as season 19. But every single time I try to update the metadata, JF messes it up and ignores the identification I just manually made erasing the anilist and anidb IDs and replacing it with a wrong one and subsequently pulling the wrong metadata. It’s infuriating.
