I just got Jellyfin installed and indexed and it’s been pretty good, but there’s one thing I can’t figure out. Shows and Movies are correctly identified but instead of showing the cover art it’s a random screen grab from the first episode or part of the movie.
Does anyone know how to get it to correctly pull from TMDB preferably, or another source. I could do it by hand, but I have hundreds of movies and series.
What’s interesting is if I try to identify it by name or exact TMDb ID it comes up blank. I think there’s an issue hitting the API, which is why I was looking for some logging. I’m gonna try some other providers too.
You should be able to get to the logs from the dashboard:
If it’s failing to hit the API, you will likely see hundreds or thousands of repeat messages in the logs.
