MetaTana

MetaTana

Official

Docker app from watari_dev's Repository

Overview

MetaTana turns the movie, TV, and anime folders you already own into a clean, complete media library.

Add a folder and MetaTana identifies each title with trusted metadata providers and optional AI assistance. It fixes names and metadata, adds artwork, subtitles, trailers, cast, and crew, and writes player-ready NFO files. You review the result before anything moves.

Library health keeps wrong matches, missing posters, duplicate copies, inconsistent naming, and incomplete seasons visible. Rename history gives you a safe way back after file changes.

MetaTana is local-first, metadata-only, and downloader-agnostic. It runs on your hardware, works alongside Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi, and does not care how the files arrived.

Setup notes:

  • Map App Data to /app/data so your library, settings, and thumbnails survive a container update.
  • Map your media share under /media. Use Read/Write so MetaTana can organize files, or Read Only to scan without changing anything.
  • PUID 99 and PGID 100 are Unraid's usual nobody:users identity for share access.
  • Sign in with an email code on first run. A free account is enough for local library features.
