This is a Work-In-Progress conversion of Plex Meta Manager to use the Jellyfin API.
Have considered porting python-plexapi to create a jellyfin equivilent python-jellyfinapi. Basic things like logging in is quite easy but filtering gets a bit complex (the APIs are quite different).
For now try using Jellyfin Auto Collections.
Jellyfin Meta Manager is a powerful tool designed to give you complete control over your media libraries. With Jellyfin Meta Manager, you can take your customization to the next level, with granular control over metadata, collections, overlays, and much more.
Transform your media library with Jellyfin Meta Manager and discover its full potential! Connect to third-party services like TMDb, Trakt, and IMDb, among others, to create one-of-a-kind collections, overlays and more. Your media library will stand out and be tailored to your specific needs.
- Elevate your library with beautifully crafted metadata - customize artwork, titles, summaries, and more to create a stunning library.
- Take advantage of pre-made modular Collections & Overlays to reduce the manual effort and get to the good stuff with less effort!
- Harness the power of Trakt, TMDb, IMDb, Flixpatrol and more to create collections and overlays!
- Integrate with Sonarr and Radarr to automate your library growth.
- We're constantly working on new features to take your library management experience to the next level.
- Consider sponsoring the project to allow us to continue building great features for you!
Here are some examples of the things you can achieve using Jellyfin Meta Manager!

Want your library to look like the above images? With the PMM Defaults you can! These powerful and modular files were designed by the Jellyfin Meta Manager team to make it simple to create a personalized, one-of-a-kind media collection without the hassle of manually defining each one.
Want to see what the community has to offer? Check out the Jellyfin Meta Manager Configs repository on GitHub to see user-submitted configuration files, or even add your own to the mix!
With Jellyfin Meta Manager, you can also manage metadata for all your media types, from movies and shows to music and more. And since your metadata is managed outside your libraries, you'll never have to worry about losing your customizations in the event of a media server database loss, you can simply reapply them! It is also easy to move your customizations between servers if you need to.
To get started with Jellyfin Meta Manager, follow these simple steps:
-
Install Jellyfin Meta Manager on your device. You can find the installation instructions for a variety of platforms here.
-
Once you have installed Jellyfin Meta Manager, create your Configuration File. This file contains important information such as URLs and credentials needed to connect to services like Jellyfin and TMDb
-
After creating the Configuration File, you can start updating Metadata and building automatic Collections by creating a Collection File for each Library you want to work with. If you'd rather use some of our pre-made Collection Files, take a look at the Jellyfin Meta Manager Defaults
-
Finally, check out the Wiki, you'll find new and exciting ways to truly unlock the potential of your libraries.
If you're a beginner to the concepts of Python, Git and/or Jellyfin Meta Manager and find the above steps challenging, don't worry. We've got some step-by-step guides that can help you get started. These guides will take you through the process of installing Jellyfin Meta Manager, creating your Configuration File and getting some basic Collections up and running.
For those who need full installation walkthroughs, please refer to the following walkthrough guides:
- Local Walkthrough - follow this if you are running the script directly on Windows, OS X, or Linux
- Docker Walkthrough - this discusses using Docker at the command line
If you are using unRAID, Kubernetes, QNAP, or Synology refer to the following basic guide to Docker container setup for each system:
this doesn't cover the PMM setup specifics found in the guides above with regard to creating the config file and collection file, so you may want to go through the Docker Walkthrough first on your computer to gain that understanding.
Jellyfin Meta Manager puts you in control of your media library by letting you create custom Collections that make discovering and organizing your content a breeze. With powerful search and filtering options, you can build Collections based on popular builders like TMDb, IMDb, Trakt, and many more.
Imagine having Collections like these at your fingertips:
- Trending and Popular (based on TMDb, IMDb, Trakt, etc.)
- Streaming Services (like Netflix, Disney+, and more)
- Networks
- Studios
- Genres
- Actors
- Decades
Jellyfin Meta Manager gives you endless possibilities to curate and organize your media library any way you want. Create custom Collections and Overlays that fit your unique preferences and make discovering your content effortless.
But if you don't want to spend time manually creating Collections and Overlays, we've got you covered. Check out the PMM Defaults - a handcrafted selection of tried-and-tested Collections and Overlays made by the Jellyfin Meta Manager team.
The Develop and Nightly branches are "beta" versions of Jellyfin Meta Manager that are updated more frequently than the stable version (Master branch). These branches are where bug fixes, new features, and other changes are added before being released to the Master branch.
However, these branches (especially Nightly) are recommended for more technical users who don't mind updating frequently to get the latest changes. Keep in mind that these beta branches may have bugs or other issues that could cause problems with Jellyfin Meta Manager or your media server. So, if you're not comfortable with technical issues, it's best to stick with the Master branch.
Develop Branch (click to expand)
The develop branch has the most updated documented fixes and enhancements to Jellyfin Meta Manager. This version is tested and documented to some degree, but it is still an active Develop branch, so there may be rough edges.
Switching to develop:
Add ":develop" to the image name in your run command or configuration:
```
ghomasHudson/Jellyfin-meta-manager:develop
```
In the directory where you cloned PMM:
```bash
git checkout develop
```
To switch back:
```bash
git checkout master
```
If switching to the develop branch, it is recommended to also use the develop branch of the wiki, which documents any changes made from the Master branch.
Nightly Branch (click to expand)
This branch will have squashed commits which can cause git pull/git fetch to error you can use git reset origin/nightly --hard to fix the branch.
There is also a nightly branch which will have the absolute latest version of the script, but it could easily break, there is no guarantee that it even works, and any new features will not be documented until they have progressed enough to reach the develop branch.
Switching to nightly:
Add ":nightly" to the image name in your run command or configuration:
```
ghomasHudson/Jellyfin-meta-manager:nightly
```
In the directory where you cloned PMM:
```bash
git checkout nightly
```
To switch back:
```bash
git checkout master
```
As this branch is subject to extreme change, there is no promise of the feature being documented in the nightly branch of the wiki and all discussions relating to changes made in the nightly branch will be held within the Jellyfin Meta Manager Discord Server.

If it's a Jellyfin-specific change, by all means add it here. For now we're going to follow the upstream, Plex-Meta-Manager so request more general features there. Pull Requests are greatly encouraged.
