A solution to a self inflicted problem.
I know I can put metadata on the folder name of a series (like the show id of themoviedb), but I really don’t want to do this, as I have another mediaserver server (Kodi) the same library to my Smart-TV. It would mess up that libary

Kodi supports the same “{sourceid-xxxx}” tag syntax as jellyfin or plex, so it wouldn’t mess anything up.
You won’t find these symbols on most devices though (certainly not on any macbook as the picture suggests).
A year and a half ago I could have named a bunch, used them for over a decade (but of course domains would frequently change). But since switching to my own plex server + torrent, I’ve never looked back. It gives you all the meta data, trailers, rating and recommendations which you’d expect from paid streaming services, even features like skip intro/credits and keeping track of your progress (even mid episode).
I know, it’s not what you’re asking for, but someone had to bring it up.
