When you first set it up there is an option to set a custom filesystem, I selected that and then chose the default which just sorts by year and day

That sounds promising!

Is this just a meaningless label or are there actually consequences for this?

Thanks, in that case I’ll look into it at some point!

Does it need to be an external IP? I was going to look into setting it up soon but if that’s the case I think I’ll just stick with SMB shares or maybe try syncthing

Not that many, 6 seasons with 6 episodes each and a few specials. Maybe I do just need to leave it longer though, I’ll try again at some point

I didn’t give it very long but it was literally just 3 films and 1 TV show

I tried Jellyfin a few weeks ago and didn’t have much luck with it. I only added a couple of shows and movies just to test it but half of them just didn’t show in the library (even though it detected them as they showed in other places). Will it only show stuff in the library if it can pick up the metadata for it?

My favourite explanation of the Monty hall problem is that you probably picked the wrong door as your first choice (because there’s 2/3 chance of it being wrong). Therefore once the third door is removed and you’re given the option to switch you should, because assuming you did pick the wrong door first then the other door has to be the right one
