I have a few shows that Jellyfin isn’t able to fetch the proper metadata for; they just display blank in the listings with only the original filename. Is it possible for me to select that show, and manually override Jellyfin to identify it as a specific show without renaming the actual file?

Whilst you can override it manually, I heartily recommend modifying the folder/file names so that autodetection works correctly.

Otherwise you’ll end up just manually fixing it again next time there’s a significant library change.

On that note, is there a way to find the media for which I used the identify function? And cancel to return it to its default state ?

Not that I’m aware of.
The information would certainly be in the database, but I don’t know how to access it.

This is the best fix, the second would be to find the IMDB id and place it in it on the GUI, then pull the metadata automatically and to make sure it’s not reverted lock it.
