Category Photo Issue - Secret_Agent_Super_Dragon - 2025-10-25

I have two servers running on Windows 11. Since this update, which has kind of been a mess for me, I have not been able to add a custom picture to one of my categories. On both servers I had to remove that specific library to do some maintenance. I have been able to re-add it back fine but no matter what I do I cannot get it to accept my custom image, which has been the same image for years. Any clue on how to fix this? This is specifically my Doc TV Shows. I can see the file I uploaded in the "C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\root\default\Doc TV Shows" folder but I just have a blank photo.

   

Thanks

Sorry, crisis averted. Library took over 13 hours to complete scanning and after the scan completed the photo finally appeared. Don't remember that happening before.

Cheers

13 hours!  Do you happen to have a photo library?
