I’ve got my library just as I want it, and have made a couple of changes to the <sorttitle> in my movies’ .nfo files.

This is fine for a day or so, and then Jellyfin decides to overwrite my .nfo files.

I have them set to “lock” via tinyMediaManager but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Every day it’ll reorder some movies in my library.

Pretty sure I’ve also disabled the image plug-ins in the library so it shouldn’t be pulling any metadata from anywhere.

Not a huge deal but incredibly frustrating — I want my library showing movies in a certain order and it’s driving me nuts when they’re rearranged 🤣

Any ideas?

TIA.

    You can lock the metadata for a given piece of media from the Jellyfin webapp in the same place you’d edit the metadata, it’s down at the bottom of the page.

      Yeah I thought that but couldn’t see Sort Title as one of the fields that can be locked.

        Not individually but I think if you lock the whole thing it works
