I had to create a folder (for Kodi) specifically for Collection Artwork. In each folder (13 Ghosts Collection, for example) there is the NFO file that reads:
The image files in each directory are:
folder.jpg
poster.jpg
fanart.jpg
thumb.jpg
As opposed to the XML file created by Jellyfin in the [boxset] folder:
**EDIT**
I copied my own directory 13 Ghosts Collection into the Collections folder. Jellyfin used my files, but then it showed 2 collections for the movie set. Mine, with zero movies assigned to the collection but with images, and the other one. I copied the XML file from the [boxset] directory into my collection directory, and then deleted the [boxset] directory that Jellyfin created, and now it works like a champ.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<collection>
<title>13 Ghosts Collection</title>
<plot>13 Ghosts Collection</plot>
<thumb>thumb.jpg</thumb>
<fanart>fanart.jpg</fanart>
<tmdbid/>
<uniqueid default="true" type="tmdb">0</uniqueid>
<genre>Horror</genre>
<dateadded/>
<lockdata>true</lockdata>
<user_note/>
</collection>
The image files in each directory are:
folder.jpg
poster.jpg
fanart.jpg
