I have a folder structure as follows:
Jellyfin
Movies
Alien (1979)
Alien (1979).mkv
Alien (1979).mkv.nfo
folder.jpg
The library for Movies is configured to to use image fetchers:
The open movie Database
TheMovieDB
(embedded image extractor and screen grabber are unchecked)
Save artwork into media folders is unchecked.
NFO is also unchecked for data savers.
The image that is displayed as the poster in the above example is folder.jpg
If I click the three dots and "refresh metadata", then "replace all metadata" in the drop down for the library (or for an single title) I can check "replace images", but images are not replaced. I must manually click images and search for a replacement.
My goal is that the movie file will be seen, identified by way of following the preferred naming convention then everything extra, metadata/images will come from web.
It seems the movies are being identified properly but the images being grabbed have been getting sourced from the folder that contains the movie (folder.jpg) in the above example, instead of the posters available on tmdb or omdb.
Am I misunderstanding how this should work?
