Backdrop only rotating 2 images on homepage

[4star]

Ubuntu 22.04.1
Jellyfin 10.9.11


I have an issue with my backdrop which is only rotating 2 images within the same library on my homepage. Navigating to different libraries rotates the backdrop and browsing individual series shows the respective backdrop for each series. I'm confused why it's only affecting the homepage. 

I just tried a quick reinstall of 10.9.11 by purging jellyfin and it's default paths for cache etc and recreated my media libraries but the same issue is occuring with the same 2 shows.


I see this in the logs but backdrops are working for the most part so it seems kind of redundant 
[2024-10-06 01:51:27.232 +01:00] [ERR] UnauthorizedAccessException - Access to path "/media/jcitx/hdd01/animated series/South Park/season13-poster.jpg" is denied. Will retry saving to "/var/lib/jellyfin/metadata/library/ba/bacf06438242985b91d69b504131e253/poster.jpg"

my media path /media/jcitx/hdd01/animated series

i've got it set so the mount point hdd01 and media folder animated series are set to 777
I do not use NFO files 
Settings > Display > Backdrop is applied 
I do not currently have any Jellyskin applied 

Thanks in advance
