Hello all

Because of my situation i need to rebuild my jellyfin App that is installed on a truenas VM that is installed on proxmox

Everytime this happens I need to rebuild my movies

This means rebuild movies metadate and collections

For many movies when i click on the movie to see the details, I notice that all the cast information is available and in many cases the movie does not display the correct Primary image.

Therefore
on the movie thumbnail i click on the 3 dots at the bottom right hand corner of the the thumbnail and i proceed to identify the movie OK I then refresh the metadata.

In most cases the correct cast appears. However the primary image is not there.

I go to change image and download the image i want and hit the back button

The primary image of the movie changes  

How ever if i close jellyfin  and re4started these changes are no longer applied
In the case of collection the collection primare will not be gene3rate unless and the collection movies have a primary

am i missing a step?

Thnak you in advance
