Xenticorp Media Importer
Plug a USB stick into X4 and its movies and shows land in the Jellyfin library, verified, with nothing to click.
The problem
Getting compressed and encoded rips from another machine onto the server meant copying files over by hand and sorting each one into the right movie or show folder. Now it’s plug in, wait, unplug.
How it works
- Plug in the USBudev spots the drive and starts the import service. No screen, no clicks.
- Sort and matchMovies go to Movies. Show folders are matched to the shows already in the library, ignoring case, punctuation and the year, so they land in the right place.
- Copy, verify, clean upEvery file is copied, checked with SHA-256, and only then deleted from the USB.
Where files go
Put a Compressed Media folder at the root of the USB stick.
Built not to lose anything
Nothing is deleted from the USB until its copy is verified. The library drive itself is never touched, and the importer won’t run at all if the library isn’t mounted. Episode files dropped loose at the root of the folder are skipped and left on the stick, and the run is flagged so it’s obvious something needs sorting.
Install
On the media server. Set your library path first; the README covers it.
