Book issues! - jellykrabbypatty - 2025-10-20

Hello,
I'm experimenting with the Book library content type and it works well enough but one of my main issues is I cannot get cover thumbnails for .pdf files. Is this possible? I am using the Bookshelf plug-in. Is there another plug-in that works better? Or do I need to create my own cover for .pdf files?

Another issue I'm having is, I have my Novels structured Author Folder ----> Books (EPUB) like Jellyfin recommends, but it is displaying the folders and the individual books alongside each other so the entire thing is just a mess.

I also see that only Audiobooks are available on Jellyfin Roku which is interesting since you can view Home videos/pictures on Roku but not any type of .EPUB, .PDF, etc. Not that I would want to read a book on a giant TV any time soon but the option would be cool for picture books or comics.
