No books show in jellyfin - bboygolem - 2025-02-07

Hi there, I'm Daniele from Italy. I'm struggling to let my books shown int ojellyfin. I tried to use pdf, convert to epub, in awz ,txt but no luck. Jellyfin sees the folder tree, it also see the images i put in there, but no book at all

I have the 10.10.5 jellyfin version, runnin int oa proxmox ubuntu container updated

all other media works well

in my logfile there is nothing about any book, in any extension i tried, but if you need i can paste it

i also double checked the permission, trying to manipulate file and dir into the folderĀ  without any issue. I also tried to reassign owner and group to file but no luck

last thing i tried, is to create a pdf file myself and even in this case no file is shown


Is there anything i could try?

Thanks !

Can you provide examples of how you've named and organized your books?

And I'm assuming you're using a books library type.

Hi, thanks for answer!

i have a folder named "books"
inside i tried to put a single PDF file or a single EPub file, or a epub converted PDF file (including all metadata) but the inly thing jellyfin let me show, is the jpg cover

the library is set as books, but i also tried all other type (just for testing purpose)

Is there a "play" button when you hover over the image?

yes there is, but if i click on it, the only thing i get is a slideshow of all the jpeg in the folder
