MetaTube Plugin for Jellyfin/Emby is a metadata enrichment plugin that extends Jellyfin and Emby media servers with comprehensive content information and processing capabilities.
The plugin solves the problem of incomplete or missing metadata in media libraries by fetching full metadata including titles, overviews, genres, directors, actors, and studios from multiple providers. It supports searching for movies and actors across various sources, retrieves trailer videos without requiring full downloads, and includes a face detection engine that automatically crops primary images to center on detected faces. The tool also offers automatic translation of metadata to preferred languages and scheduled tasks for organizing genres and updating the plugin itself.
Developers and media server administrators running Jellyfin or Emby should consider this plugin if they want automated metadata enrichment with minimal manual intervention. It suits users who maintain large media libraries and want consistent, comprehensive metadata across their collection. The plugin is designed to work with stable versions of Jellyfin and Emby, and documentation covers installation, server deployment, file naming conventions, auto-translation setup, and building from source.
The project maintains active development with passing continuous integration workflows. Community engagement is facilitated through a dedicated discussions forum where users can ask questions and receive support. Documentation is comprehensive and includes detailed guides for various deployment scenarios and configuration options.
