I don't bother renaming files after I download them so they're left looking something like this:

  [group] anime name - 01 [fileinfo] [crc32].mkv

This becomes problematic when you have shows like New Game, where the first is stylized as NEW GAME! and the second season is NEW GAME!!. Jellyfin shows them both as the first season of the anime, where as Plex with the Hama TV scanner can distinguish between them.

Consider installing Sonarr. Even if you don't use it to automatically search for episodes (its primary usecase), then you can use it to copy over from your download client to Jellyfin and rename the files to something sane that Jellyfin will always pick up.

I already use Sonarr - I'm not a fan of maintaining separate libraries for original/renamed collections.
