Metadata provider lookups do most of the work. When filenames are ambiguous, AI Vision inspects a small reviewed frame sample and proposes a structured candidate. Confident matches are filed, the rest wait for your review, and renames can be undone.
- ✓Provider lookup across TMDb, TVDB, Fanart.tv, OMDb, MDBList, AniList, MyAnimeList.
- ✓Filename parser handles extra filename tags, season/episode markers, year disambiguation, and disc copies.
- ✓Review queue: matches that aren't confident wait for you before anything moves.
- ✓Undo renames and moves, alone or in batches.
- ★AI Vision second-pass identification when filename + provider lookups can't decide.
- ★AI Vision credits — one credit per file. Monthly allowance included with Pro.
Movies, shows and anime. Editions kept apart.
Typed sources win over filename heuristics. Keep theatrical, director's cut, and 4K remaster editions of one title without duplicate entries. Collections, tags, and bulk edits work across your whole library.
- ✓Typed sources (movies, shows, anime, music videos, extras), not just file paths.
- ✓Every edition of a title side by side: theatrical, extended, director's cut, 4K remaster.
- ✓Collections of your own, plus TMDb collections grouped for you.
- ✓Tags with aliases, presets and rules, such as 4K for every 2160p video.
- ✓Bulk edit, tag or Rescrape a whole selection in one pass.
- ✓Browse by Saved views, Collections, People, Tags and Stats.
NFO files and artwork
for every title.
NFO sidecars in the format Kodi, Plex, and Jellyfin read. Artwork ranked across Fanart.tv, TMDb, and TVDB, with the source shown. You can review and override Overview, General, Artwork, Cast, and Extras.
- ✓One library, with NFO that Kodi, Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby all read.
- ✓Artwork ranking across posters, backdrops, logos, clearart, and discart, with manual override.
- ✓One-click links to TMDb, TVDB, IMDb, Fanart.tv, and MDBList.
- ✓Cast and crew data with cross-title linking. Click a name, see every title they touched.
- ★Hosted metadata. No API keys to manage and no provider quotas to track.
- ★Subtitle search & fetch via OpenSubtitles.
Your library tells you
when something's off.
Library › Needs attention lists what is missing or worth a second look. Duplicates wait in the Inbox with the copy to keep. Settings › Maintenance holds Library health and the deep check. Activity shows every change in plain rows, with Undo on the ones that can be undone.
- ✓Needs attention: missing artwork, duplicates, failed fetches, NFO out of date, scrape conflicts, broken provider links and matches to check.
- ✓Library health is a word, not a score. The deep check finds empty folders and ghost entries.
- ✓Duplicates come with a suggested copy to keep, by resolution or size. The other copy goes to MetaTana's trash for 30 days.
- ✓Activity lists matches, moves, renames, fetches, syncs and tool runs. Failed rows say why and offer Retry.
- ✓Undo file moves, renames, approvals, artwork changes and edits. Syncs and fetches have no Undo.
Watched state and resume position, in every player.
Push metadata to Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, and Emby. Pull watch state from Trakt back into MetaTana with Pro two-way sync. The Folders page shows where each folder's files go, so every server sees the library it expects.
- ✓Push to multiple Plex / Jellyfin / Kodi / Emby servers from one config.
- ✓Folders shows each watched folder, where its files go, and the routing rules, such as 2160p movies to /library/4k.
- ✓Conflicts follow your rule: newer wins, MetaTana wins, or the server wins.
- ✓Watched state, playback progress and a library refresh after filing and edits.
- ★Two-way Trakt sync for watched history, in the background every 15 minutes.
- ★Hooks & Webhooks for tool execution on library events.
Talk to your library.
AI Insights inside the app, plus the Model Context Protocol server for external agents. Both are part of Pro, which includes monthly AI Vision credits. See /mcp for full tool documentation.
Ask your library
questions.
Ask your library in ⌘K. Collection suggestions, duplicate advice and filename cleanup sit where you already work. AI Insights uses your own Anthropic or OpenRouter key.
- ★Ask in ⌘K: “90s thrillers I haven’t watched.”
- ★Collection suggestions in Library › Collections.
- ★Duplicate advice next to each duplicate in the Inbox.
- ★Clean up names for messy filenames.
Or hand it
to your agent.
MetaTana ships a Model Context Protocol server with every Pro account. Point Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client at it, and your agent can browse, query, dedupe, organize, and clean up, with the same sign-in as your account.
- ★MCP server: runs through the installed app. Copy its config from Settings › Maintenance › Advanced › MCP.
- ★Same sign-in, same plan: agents use your Pro account.
- ★Reviewable tool calls: destructive operations require explicit confirmation in your agent UI.
- ★Local-first transport: the same REST API the app uses.
Try it on one folder.
Free scans first and adds your TMDb key later. Pro adds hosted metadata and 100 AI Vision credits a month.
