Only showing fanart instead of poster - SentinelUK - 2024-04-18

Hi, 1st post here so go easy also apologies if this has already been asked.

On my home screen I have it laid out with my media, latest media and a few others like continue watching etc.

All my categories show the covers (or posters) except for one category, Kids Films. I believe the correct term for what it is showing is fanart.

I have checked within settings (Home) to see if an option was set just for Kids Films and I have also checked the CSS which I only added 2 days ago but the issue was there when I had no CSS at all.

I'm hoping to get the fanart back to the movie cover / poster, so we can see what the actual movie is when me and the kids are scrolling through.

I'm not sure of the process to upload images on this forum or if links are allowed, as I'm super new but I will attach a screengrab jpeg below of the issue.

Thanks in advance any help is appreciated.

Those are "banners" and not fan art. What library type is the Kids library? Mixed?

The fact that it is using the banner and not a poster tells me it isn't a Shows or Movies library type.

Hi thanks for the reply.

I've never had to change it because it has always worked until recently, but when I go into libraries it does say "Other" so I'm assuming it is classed as mixed. Do you think I should remove the folder and re-add it as Movies ?

Movies, shows, whatever is appropriate for the content. The few entries in your screenshot all appear to be movies.

Edit: It worked flawlessly ! Much appreciated.
