Jellyfin always grabs a new movie poster/cover - Space01 - 2024-12-04
Hey Guys,
my problem is that Jellyfin updates the Movie Covers/Poster sometimes. I disabled the option to auto refresh Metadata in the Library Settings and enabled the nfo file option. Still it just updates the one manually searched in Jellyfin for and I puts the old one in again. Aswell sometimes Radarr renames the movies (thats what it should do9 but aswell renames the movie.nfo to <realmoviename>.nfo and then it creates a new .nfo file so I have 2 one with the name movie.nfo and one with the name <realmoviename>.nfo. Is there a way I can stop updating the Covers, it took me quite some time to go through all my movies to make sure they all hav covers like and now it just changed everything back to default.
Thanks

If you have an external tool providing NFOs, you need to turn off NFO saver in Jellyfin as well as all the metadata providers.
If you are manually changing images, or manually providing images, or using an external tool to provide images, you need to turn off all the image providers in the library settings.

No, I only have Jellyfin for nfo and for the images I click on the movie and then on change Image and then the magnifiying glass for primary image, logo and minature

My guess would be if you rename folders that will trigger a rediscover from jellyfin, thus also discard your manually selected image as well.

But I dont rename any folders

I recommend using tinyMediaManager to generate NFOs and artwork, and disabling the image fetchers and NFO saver in Jellyfin. The free version of tinyMediaManager pulls data from TMDB, which is the same source Jellyfin uses by default.

Sorry for late respone. Is there a guide somewhere? Ive installed Jellyfin as docker btw. Oh and what about stuff like the Fanart Jellyfin Plugin, can I still use it?
