Old Metadata - distance5396 - 2024-07-13

I am new to Jellyfin and not sure how to resolve this issue. This issue is with a music library.

I added an album to Jellyfin and it pulled the correct album cover from the embedded metadata. I wanted to change the album cover. I changed the embedded artwork and re-scanned. Jellyfin still kept the old artwork. I deleted the album from the jellyfin server. Re-scaned. Jellyfin showed the album as removed. I then moved the album back with the new cover and re-scanned. It added the album back with the old artwork.

In Plex to resolve this issue. I would Delete it from the server and then run the "empty trash" action. I don't see this option in Jellyfin. What is the best course of action without having to use the Jellyfin UI to add the cover? I want it to pull from the embedded metadata if possible.

Have you tried clearing out your browser's cache?

definitely not browser cache as it shows that artwork across multiple devices and apps. Including the Symfonium app on mobile.

Try running a scan and selecting "search for missing metadata".
