I've always wondered why Jellyfin doesn't have better support for parsing Scene release names, which follow strict naming conventions.

99% coverage is achievable via a few straightforward regexes.

Don't get me wrong though, I really like and appreciate Jellyfin, especially on Apple TV with Swiftfin, it's my daily driver for big screen entertainment and it's amazing, 10e9 times better than Chromecasting from a laptop to GoogleTV, which is just a horrible UX (no pause button on the TV) and also would randomly freeze for 5-30 seconds every few minutes.

Plex was nice too, and works great if you are okay with being at the mercy of a closed system for your media center. Though I sure don't miss those pointless forced UI "downgrade in functionality" updates!

Jellyfin parses scene naming conventions fine. I have thousands of films and hundreds of TV shows (with thousands of episodes) all in scene name format and I can think of a handful of matching errors on Jellyfish but it's usually due to a commonish film name and a wrong year or something similar.

I agree it works most of the time, but sometimes falls flat on it's face. Especially for TV episodes and even entire seasons.

The same. I basically never edit metadata. I rarely add IMDB id when slip happens.
