Why isn't there something like musicbrainz? (lemmy.world)

With streaming enshittification, I have gone back to purchasing blu-rays and dvds, ripping them, and putting them on my jellyfin server.

Why isn't there a service like musicbrainz but for video discs? This would be especially helpful for TV shows, where the order of the episodes is inconsistent on disc, and I typically have to manually go through each episode to make sure it is named correctly.

But even for movies where you have multiple versions (theatrical vs extended cut) or extras, it is a huge pain to have to go through each extracted file and figure out what it is.

How does every one else deal with this?

Closest would be the TV database which often has aired order, dvd/blu-ray order and then absolute/chronological order. For movies you have the Movie Database. Not sure if the movie database has the extras listed or not but it should list the different cuts for a film.
