Album Covers not showing in Library, but do when playing - oliver - 2024-02-21

Hi all, I'm currently ripping a whole bunch of CDs for use with Jellyfin. After the ripping is done I am using Musicbrainz Picard to automatically scan the titles for the correct album and give them their correct metadata. Usually this works quite well, however I've now had an issue with the Album Cover multiple times and I can't seem to get it fixed:

Picard usually includes an image as a cover art and when playing files that have been ran through Picard they show up (i.e. in Windows Media Player)      .
Also when playing these Songs from Jellyfin they also show up in the bottom left corner     
But when looking at the album (either in the list of albums or when expanding it to see all songs) this image is nowhere to be seen      .

I've already refreshed the metadata from within Jellyfin but the coverart did not change. I find it quite odd that this only happens on some albums and not others. Is there some Metadata setting that I am missing?

Did Jellyfin pull down additional images? Click on the "..." context menu and edit images.

The Edit Images dialog window is empty.      Oddly enough the album has the correct Musicbrainz ID associated with it and there is an image on the website available. For some reason it just doesn't seem to wanna use either the embeded one, nor download one from Musicbrainz.

Is there an image file in the folder?

There is not. One more thing that I just now noticed. I believe this issue only happens with albums that have multiple Discs to them. I don't believe I ever saw this issue on single CD albums

I've since found out that the folder structure for Music seems to have changed. Before you were supposed to have seperate folders for each CD, however now you can just place all Songs into the Album's folder and the images then work.
