    I'm trying to set up the "Collections" feature to help with organization. I stumbled through the interface with some help from documentation and (mostly) forum posts here and on redditt. I selected an option to have Jellyfin "automatically" id and create "Collections" for me. With a few exceptions, that seems to have gone OK except for one thing: ARTWORK/IMAGES 

    I now have 44 "Collections" in my movie database. Only one of them has any artwork for it: The "Lethal Weapon Collection". And though I've waded through the documentation on this feature, I've been unable to find any guidance on HOW to obtain images for a collection. 

    The only thing I can even see to TRY is clicking the "triple dot" widget in the LRHC of the "Collection". Just as with "Movies", it provides a dialog which includes "Edit images", but there do not appear to be any images available when I search by clicking the "magnifying glass" icon. 

    I should probably add this: Most of the "Collections" that Jellyfin has created for me are not actually box sets of CDs/BDs - they are simply individual CDs that I've added piecemeal over time. Here's a sample of what I see: 

       

    Thanks,

    I would guess that if there are no images displayed in edit images, the plugin is not finding that collection or accessing the database for whatever reason. If you hit the ribbon and hit Identify, does it give anything when you search?

    I couldn't figure this out myself and eventually just did the mixed movies and shows library and made my own custom collections. Went to TMDB for a collection and saved their cover as cover.jpg in the folder. It made it a lot easier than having a "Collections" library IMO.
    I complain about Jellyfin a lot and have no idea what I'm doing.
