Yeah, that’s fair

I forgot this was coming out. I think I’ll need to do a full rewatch first.

There’s quite a bit before all this, starting with Bakemonogatari.

There are many recommended watch orders like book order, chronological order and broadcast order, but I usually recommend the broadcast order. Partially because of stylistic changes over the years, but mostly because they did this order for a reason

I don’t fully agree with this. I’d just follow the broadcast order (though Kizu is a weird one). Considering Hitagi End, I think having Hanamonogatari after that makes more sense, like it was broadcasted. Same with Koyomimonogatari. The end of that ties directly into Owarimonogatari S2, so I would put that between OMG S1 and 2, as broadcasted.

I know the anime doesn’t follow the order of the books, but the anime didn’t change it up for sake of it, so it has always seemed strange to me to change that order.

Oh shit, that was a really interesting episode. Quite a deviation from the game, but a really cool one. Also really cool to see a Replicant location.

Let’s hope so

All that to say that these seem to be the wrong tools for what you’re actually trying to do.

Yeah, seems like it. Thanks for the explanations though.

I have previously professed to hating Clannad so much I couldn’t watch past the first couple of episodes.

Damn, that sure is a hot take

Am I? I have no idea, I just use MakeMKV to rip the disc. No idea how else to rip the disc. I’m not doing anything else to them. No Handbrake or whatever.

I’m not, but I can imagine the uploaded hashes might have been compressed

There seem to be Bluray entries in AniDB, but I can’t tell if it’s the same version. I have UK region Blurays, so maybe that’s it.

But I think I’m gonna leave Shoko be and try something else

Interesting. I’ll have to look at it again then. I figured that since AniDB also has UBW split between season 1 and 2 (listed as 2014 and 2015) that I had to list them separately too. This does work by the way, but it’s just really cluttered. Which metadata provider should I primarily use then if not AniDB or Anilist?

Hopefully it works for my other anime too

Ah, I see. Since they keep talking about ’ your collection’ I figured it’d be for your own BD rips too. Tbf, I was already a little unclear about what exactly Shoko does, since the descriptions are very broad. Would Sonarr or Tiny media manager fit my use case?

I see, so that still requires a fair bit of manual work then (especially when episodes are not ordered properly when ripped).

I figured I’d use it since it’s made for anime. Renaming everything myself because the BD rips don’t name themselves properly is a pretty big chore, so I figured I’d use a tool for made for it. But it’s sounding more and more like Shoko was not the way to go

I’m naming it that way, because otherwise Jellyfin can’t handle it properly for me. Season 2 will not show up with the proper metadata if I put all of it in the same folder. My guess is that because 2014 (season 1)and 2015 (season 2) are two separate entries in both Anilist and AniDB and not grouped together under UBW, that it wants it that way in Jellyfin too.

Jellyfin is going to want:

This is the main problem I have right now. The example I gave in the post for example. I currently have to list them as entirely separate entries, both with season 01. Not one entry with season 01 or season 02, because that’s not how it is in AniDB or Anilist. As I said in another comment, I may checkout Sonarr if Shoko doesn´t work out.

I’ve read that Shoko works for many people, but yeah… I must be doing something wrong. Right now I’m manually renaming everything to the recommended Jellyfin naming structure and using the AniDB or Anilist plugin in Jellyfin to get the rest of the metadata. A bit of a pain… If I get no responses, maybe I’ll look into Sonarr or Tiny mediamanager

Also, just to add on:

• they’re all mkv files
• movies are structures a bit differently. It’s either a straight mkv or in a single folder.
• I’m in the EU region, so my blurays are UK blurays

And that’s really cool. However, I already use Proton, so I’m not really looking for an alternative
