Wrong Primary Images in Movie Gallery - swamp2 - 2025-10-07
Running QNAP Server, MacOS Client, both are latest. No plugins, no mods, no nothing.
It seems that about 40% of the Primary images (should be what I call the movie "Poster") are perhaps a random scene from the movie. I have tried both options for metadata, TOMD and TMD and that doesn't help. Here are some screenshots for clarity. When I search in JF UI (Edit Images>Search), the first image always looks correct/appropriate but JF hasn't used it. I can download that image and manually choose it and it does get corrected. For a very large set of movies this manual process is not workable (and certainly wouldn't be fast nor fun!). Here us what I see at each step of investigation/troubleshooting.
Thanks kindly in advance for any help/fix. Seems like it should be an easy one...
