Shoko Server not recognizing any anime (feddit.nl)

I've been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it's not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I'm struggling to find guides on this and the documentation is quite lacking. I don't know what I'm wrong. Are there certain rules I need to be following in order for Shoko to hash correctly? Does it hash the name? The actual ripped files?

My folder structure is setup in a way that Jellyfin properly recognizes it (without using the Shoko plugin yet), so like so for example:

- Fate/stay night: ubw (2014)
---- Season 01
---------- <episode> S01E01
- Fate/stay night: ubw (2015)
---- Season 01
---------- you get the idea

Since multi season anime often are separate entries, each season is usually its own main folder (which is one of the reasons I wanted to try Shoko to see if I could combine them into one so that I don´t have multiple entries for what is really only 1 anime series).

Anyone here that uses Shoko and have some tips?

EDIT: thanks for the information and tips everyone. Seems like Shoko might not be what I'm actually looking for.

So Shoko uses anidb to match shows. It uses the hashes anidb has of pirate/fansub releases. So anidb will not have the hashes for your own rips and Shoko will not be able to automatically match them. Your use case isn't really what Shoko was designed for. Shoko does have the ability for you to manually match files and has tools for matching files in bulk. Shoko can solve your issue with anime with multiple seasons split into multiple entries, so manually adding everything might not be a bad idea.

Ah, I see. Since they keep talking about ' your collection' I figured it'd be for your own BD rips too. Tbf, I was already a little unclear about what exactly Shoko does, since the descriptions are very broad. Would Sonarr or Tiny media manager fit my use case?

I haven't really used those much but they will probably be better at matching your stuff automatically. Although it would be to TMDB's data. TMM can do anidb but only if you pay for pro.
