The file structure it requires. It’s hard to pull off without breaking you torrents and after that it still will arbitrarily decide a file isn’t the type for the library you’re trying to import it into.
For a couple years I was getting around this by just keeping all my stuff in a single library and using the collections feature with all its options to make my own categories for standup, TV, and stolen YT videos. But today not even that lax of a setup could allow for some foreign films I wanted to add. It will just ignore movies or shows that it REALLY wants you to create an additional “other media” library for with no metadata

Difficult? I just toss mine into a file labeled movies and a file labeled TV shows. I rarely ever have to correct names or anything. What are you doing differently that is causing this?

I’ve always used radarr and sonarr to handle renaming stuff, but it’s still a pain. I’ve run into issues where Plex ignores the naming I’ve done in sonarr and just displays raw file names. It’s a pain. Hopefully jellyfin will be a little easier when I eventually switch

You could use hardlinks to link your files to your media library without touching the originally torrented files at all.
