Jellyfin basically only uses TMDB by default as a metadata provider. I think IMDB enshittified or something like Reddit did.
TMDB is a lot less mature than IMDB so sometimes the identification isn’t as good. It’s based on user contributions like Wikipedia. It also has “opinions” about the correct episode and season listings of TV shows, which has caused me big headaches in the past.
You can enable optional plugins in the dashboard to enable other metadata providers like TVDB and Anime DB and more. I decided to just use TMDB and go update the website myself when I notice anything wrong or missing.
Jellyfin is also much less forgiving of errors… like if you put an episode in the wrong season it will just appear broken
