Downloading several different images automatically - CrookiesAndCash - 2025-08-04
In the grand scheme of things this is a tiny issue, but is there anyway to have Jellyfin automatically download more images per image 'type'? (e.g. : Primary, Clearart, Banner, Logo, Thumb, Backdrop, etc.)
I really don't care about the few megabytes that'd be added even if I had Jellyfin auto download literally every available image, but it is kind of annoying to have some of my image sources be slow so when I'm trying to find a good image I end up having to wait 30 or so seconds just to see if the image is of good quality or not. (and yes, I know it shows the resolution, but by 'quality' I don't just mean objective dimensions but also things like personal preference, how well it fits in a lineup with the other images it's next to, etc.)
I can set the maximum number of images scraped, but I can't figure out how to force Jellyfin to automatically download more images and just store them somewhere. (for instance in ./SHOWS/SHOWNAME/ExtraImages/ or something)
(note : I think this would also be useful for fanart screens, since it could pull more fanart to cycle through - though I'm not sure on that)

I think the only one you can currently do this with is backdrops via the fetcher settings for each library.
