I have a collection of German documentaries and ideally I’d like to make them available via Jellyfin.
Is there a plugin to index those? Hell, is there even an index database for that type of thing?
Add the metadata yourself on TMDB, get it approved (usually happens by itself) and then identify the entry in JF.
That’s how I did it for https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/215216-bigger-better-baden-wurttemberg/Edit: Upside: You help the community (mirrored to sites like trakt) and others can benefit from your work as you do from others work (metadata providers, jellyfin).
I would imagine they’re indexed as movies? Try making a separate movie library for them named Documentaries and see how that goes
for german documentaries I actually made two seperate collections
one for single episode movies like this one
and one for episodic shows like Terra X or Feuer & Flamme
the later collection has the least issues scraping metadataI just store them as regular movies and TV shows. Documentaries are a genre, not a separate media type imo.
