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.

      Yeah but how? I could make the volume read only via Docker but then how will new library entries get metadata?

        The other thing you can do is mount a “new media” folder writeable, and add new media there.

        When you have everything the way you want it, then move the files to the folder that’s mounted read only.
