Shoko Server not recognizing any anime

I've been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it's not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I'm struggling...

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
ReluctantZen OP ,

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

ReluctantZen OP ,

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.

ReluctantZen OP ,

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.

ReluctantZen OP ,

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

ReluctantZen OP ,

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

ReluctantZen OP ,

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?

ReluctantZen OP ,

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

ReluctantZen OP ,

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

ReluctantZen OP ,

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

ReluctantZen ,

I love this personally. Glad to see Proton slowly becoming a proper alternative to Google or MS.

Kakao is Korean, but no cases have been issued yet right? Only threats
