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.

I am confused you say correctly identified, what do you mean by that? Because the right image should have been pulled automatically (if it exists) if Jellyfin identifies something correctly.

Does it work if you go manually via the identify function?

Basically what happens is JF correctly identifies the series from the file names. I can look at all the corresponding metadata and see that it’s correct, including the TMDB id. However there’s just no cover art. I have two identical series and for one it pulls it in and the other it doesn’t.

I know it’s not TMDB (directly) as I have another media server (Think like a Dune or Zidoo) and it is also indexing the same exact files against TMDB and it will correctly add the cover art.

Here’s two examples

Is there any way I can enable/see logging to see what API calls it’s trying to make and their status? I can probably figure it out from there.

So, the issue is that the series isn’t being identified correctly? That looks to be the case with The Slime Diaries. I have mine labeled “The Slime Diaries - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”. It gets identified correctly.

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.

Here is what I use for my Anime library:

That’s a plugin that does that, no? Have you checked that it’s installed and set up correctly?

Check to see if the files are named appropriately as well as the other suggestions here.
