Media organizer

Match, rename and file every movie, show and episode.

MetaTana fixes wrong matches, missing artwork, duplicate copies and messy names across your folders, then tells Plex, Jellyfin, Emby or Kodi to refresh.

The MetaTana Inbox: four new titles with a Good or Fair confidence word and the reason each one waits, and three files to pick a title for

How a folder gets organized.

  1. Add a folder

    Point MetaTana at a movies, shows or anime folder. It scans what is there, NFO files included.

  2. Match

    Each file gets a confidence word: Good, Fair or Weak. Good matches file themselves.

  3. Review the rest

    The rest wait in the Inbox with a reason: a title to pick, a duplicate copy, a rename to approve.

  4. Write and refresh

    MetaTana renames, writes NFO and artwork, and refreshes your media server.

What it organizes.

  • Names and folders

    Movies as Title (Year), episodes in season folders, and presets for each media server.

  • Matches

    IDs in names and NFO files are read first. AI Vision looks at the hardest files on Pro.

  • Artwork

    Posters, backdrops, logos and season art, named for your media server.

  • Duplicate copies

    Two copies of one movie become one Inbox row. The copy you remove goes to a trash folder for 30 days.

  • Subtitles

    Subtitle files move with their video and get names your server reads. Subtitle search is Pro.

  • A bad rename pass

    Renames, moves, approvals, duplicate cleanup, artwork and edits can be undone in Activity.

Built for big libraries that keep changing.

  • Watched folders pick up new files and file the Good matches without a click.
  • A folder you mark as anime is matched as anime, whatever the file names say.
  • Run it in Docker beside your server or NAS, or as a desktop app on macOS, Windows and Linux.
  • Every rename, move and edit is listed in Activity, with Undo.

FAQ

Is MetaTana a media organizer or a media manager?

Both. It organizes the files and folders of lawful local libraries, and manages the metadata, artwork and subtitle files beside them.

Does it replace Plex, Jellyfin, Emby or Kodi?

No. Your media server stays your player. MetaTana prepares the files on disk and asks the server to refresh.

Can I start with one folder?

Yes. Add one folder, check what MetaTana did in Activity, and undo anything you don't like before adding the rest.

Does it work without a TMDb key?

Yes. Free scans first, and you can add a free TMDb key later for better matches. Pro includes hosted metadata, so no key is needed.

What happens to duplicate copies?

Each one waits in the Inbox. You keep the copy you want. The other goes to a trash folder in the library for 30 days, and Undo brings it back.

Start with one folder.

Good matches file themselves. The rest wait in your Inbox.
