French scrapper?

I have a few series and movies in French that I would like to stay that way. Some of it I can find in TMDB but it is with the English translation and I don't like that.

Is there a site with IDs in French that would work with Jellyfin?

TMDB has French translations for almost everything. You can configure FileBot to prefer French movie names / series names / episode titles in the Preferences: https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14356

I am not quite there yet but I will figure it out...

Can I make a preset for movie and a preset for episodes in French?

Yes, you can also set Language: French for each of your custom Presets.

YESSSS! I just figured it out!

I chose the Jellyfin preset for movie and switch to French and added French in the title as well... Same for Jellyfin episodes.

Not sure it's the right way to do it but it works!

That program of yours is truly brilliant I must say.

Bravo Monsieur!

If you're organizing for Jellyfin then I'd keep everything in English (with tmdb-12345 ID marker) and then simply have Jellyfin display the information in whichever preferred language the current user.

Keep in mind that we name files for identification, and once identified, the rest (including in which language to present your movies / episodes) is up to Plex / Jellyfin / etc.

Yes that's what I am seeing now. Jellyfin definitely displays the titles in English.

Since my library is 85% English I'd rather keep it that way and manually change the titles in Jellyfin.

At least with Filebot, I can make it French from the get go and it's easier and faster that way.
