Shoko + shokofin is a great solution for anime, but if you get most of your stuff from streaming sources you might have to manually link almost everything (or add it to AniDB). I could be wrong and it wouldn't hurt to check first with some of your catalogue. You could even just log into AniDB and look at the releases for an anime you have, maybe compare file hashes or test it with shoko desktop if that still exists.
