benn-jordan-s01-yt-import

First import into the STOCK Jellyfin at tv.s8n.ru (container jellyfin-stock), Educational library. YouTube videos from channel "Benn Jordan" — treated as one Series (Benn Jordan) on Season 01.

Independent from arrflix prod (arrflix.s8n.ru) and arrflix dev. Stock Jellyfin's Educational library has EnableInternetProviders=false — files land with filename/folder-only metadata. No TMDb/TVDB matching is expected or attempted.

Subtitle status

Embedded: no (YouTube auto-CC not requested via en.* glob; user-uploaded subs do not exist on these uploads).
External sidecar: no.

Notes / surprises

Stock Jellyfin's Educational library is configured tvshows-type with EnableInternetProviders=false. This is intentional — these are per-channel YouTube videos, not broadcast TV. Names and durations come from the filename and the container itself. Do not try to TMDb-identify Benn Jordan; there is no matching entry.
All 3 downloads ran in parallel from onyx and completed in well under one rsync window. Combined nullstone delivery via single rsync -a of the whole Benn Jordan/ dir (E01 was already on disk from a prior staging — rsync no-op for that file thanks to size+mtime match).
AV1 codec is the default YouTube best-quality video stream as of 2026. None of the recipient devices (onyx, nullstone clients, etc.) have a problem direct-playing AV1 — but if a friend on a 2018 laptop reports playback issues, Jellyfin will transcode (CPU only — jellyfin-stock has no GPU mount per SYSTEM.md).
Educational library uses tvshows scheme, so episodes nest under one parent Series named exactly "Benn Jordan" with no year suffix (matches the folder name). Filename pattern is the same <Series> - S<NN>E<MM> - <Title> shape arrflix uses — no special-case required.
Source staging dir on onyx (/home/admin/staging-jelly/Benn Jordan/) is intentionally left in place — do not delete until owner confirms playback.

Operator action

Open https://tv.s8n.ru → Educational library → confirm "Benn Jordan" series shows 4 episodes.
Play any episode → confirm direct-play (no transcode line in docker logs jellyfin-stock).
Optional: upload custom series + episode artwork via the Jellyfin web UI (no TMDb fallback, so artwork has to be manual or absent).
Source dir on onyx retained per cleanup policy.
