Question - PEF0owsx2!@ - 2023-06-29
I have a movie I've added where I've scanned the box/cover and the disk itself, and I've added them in the "Edit images" menu, however, I cannot actually see a way for me as an end-user to interact with them in the default Jellyfin web-ui afterwards. Am I missing something or is this just not a thing? I feel it'd be pretty pointless to be able to add these images but not actually view them, so I suspect I'm missing something.
Just for clarity's sake, I'm not talking about a Photos Library. I haven't found anything in the docs here nor have I been able to find anything by using search engines, maybe because it's too niche and there's a lot of other questions that sound similar but are talking about something else, or my searching skills have just gone bad over the years.
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, I'm new here.

When you add images to "Edit Images" for a movie or show you have the option to set it to display as the banner or poster, etc. I am not aware of any way to view/interact with them beyond that.

Yeah, I've noticed the backdrop, cover and logo options do display, I just find it incredibly weird to have so many other options that are effectively pointless because you can't actually see them as a regular end-user for some reason.

I think the source of your confusion here is that you can add image types that may simply not be utilized by your UI theme. There are image types that I do not believe the default theme utilizes. You'd have to use a theme that includes them in the visual display of the media, or customize a theme like the default to add them yourself. There are themes that also do not use the banner images and logos that the default UI theme uses, as well. It's a feature of customization, but not all theming supports all image types.

I see. I think the software would do well to have a way to go through images added to a movie, show or whatever, similar to how they've added a trailer button. But oh well.
Thanks for the explanation.
