Describe the bug
When a movie is scraped, the Tagline is saved in both Tagline and Outline fields in the nfo file. This is not good for other programs that use both Plot and Outline fields.

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10 1909
  • Virtualization: none
  • Clients: N/A
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Jellyfin Version: Stable 10.5.5
  • Playback: N/A
  • Installed Plugins: N/A
  • Reverse Proxy: none
  • Base URL:
  • Networking: N/A
  • Storage: local

To Reproduce

  1. Scrape a movie
  2. View the .nfo file in a text editor
  3. See that Tagline and Outline fields are the same.

Expected behavior
Tagline should only be saved in Tagline field. Outline field should either be fetched or left blank.

Additional context
This has caused issues because I use another program to create my metadata (NFOs that include unique Plot and Outline) before adding it to my main movie folder.

I have locked all metadata from within Jellyfin, but it still rescrapes any new movie added to the folder. Even if a new movie already has an nfo, it rewrites the file – I’m not sure whether to submit this as an issue or feature request: If a movie’s metadata is complete (existing .nfo, poster, fanart), do not scrape! At least have that as an option in Settings? It does seem to leave artwork as is.
