On: Show HN: Kyoo – Self-hosted media browser (Jellyfin/Plex alternative)

I hate having to rename my files on an arbitrary pattern to have items show up in the media browser. I want a media browser to organize my media, not to ask me to organize it myself.

This is why I went back to iTunes. Full, robust metadata support and organization.

It's 2024. Why are people still cramming metadata into file names like it's 1983?

Maybe I'm not understanding, but they only organization I do is put each movie and related files like cover and SRT into its own folder named after the movie. Seems to work fine.
