Artwork in movie directory does not go to the Jellyfin media directory? - ZombieHunter - 2024-01-31
I have all the artwork files in my movie directories:
MyMovie-banner.jpg
MyMovie-clearart.png
MyMovie-clearlogo.png
MyMovie-discart.png
MyMovie-fanart.jpg
MyMovie-landscape.jpg
MyMovie-poster.jpg
Now I realized that if my file server is off I don't have covers , fanart...
Does that mean that this files are not copied to the Jellyfin folder like the files from the online scrapers?

They are not. Additionally, there is a performance penalty since the images scraped and stored in the jellyfin data directory are usually on SSDs in most setups. Using images stored with your media, typically HDDs, will result in images loading in slower than the rest of the UI elements.

I want them on the PC and SSD where I also have Jellyfin.
But I don't want online scrapers to download images and I like to have them in the movie directory.
So Jellyfin should copy them to its data directory. There is no setting for this?
Does that mean I have to delete all the images in the movie edit images settings and add them one by one?
