Collection Artwork and and description - thecrazykaktus - 2024-01-07
Hello everyone,
Since I'm still relatively new to Jellyfin, I have a question.
I have a lot of film collections. Unfortunately, the correct cover is not chosen when summarizing the collections.
Can someone tell me how I can change this and where?
If I go to the three points in the collection and say change image, nothing is offered to me.
However, everything works for individual films.

When you are editing images you have to provide one. It won't automatically give you options based on the contents of the collection.

I just wrote this in another post & it might help.
"Putting your image (folder.jpg / cover.jpg) in your actual media folders will not work. Jellyfin seems to store the images in it's local database. On a Mac this is located at ~/.local/share/jellyfin/data/collections. Am not familiar with Docker but finding that folder should not be hard. There you will find separate folders for each collection eg. "The Mummy (Universal) [boxset]" & in those folders you will find the actual images being used & a .xml file for the collection. Replace the images with the same naming convention ( mine are folder.jpg ), rescan your collections library & then refresh your browser window & you should see the new images. You can also add nice backdrops into these folders by naming an image "backdrop.jpg". Alternately you can download an image you would like to use, right click the collection & choose "edit images" then select your downloaded image & it will replace the existing image with the new one. The TPdB (https://theposterdb.com) is a great place to find collection images although it seems to be down temporarily but the TMdB also has "collection" images available on their site. Jellyfin defaults to one of the movie posters if no images are available which explains why you are seeing that. Disabling scrapers negates Jellyfin from identifying your collections - I would reenable them & then use "identify" in order to get images & metadata.
Hope this helps !"
Cheer! jj
