    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:

    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
    thumb.jpg


    As opposed to the XML file created by Jellyfin in the [boxset] folder:

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <Item>
      <ContentRating>Rated PG</ContentRating>
      <Added>03/10/2025 15:22:35</Added>
      <LockData>true</LockData>
      <LocalTitle>13 Ghosts Collection</LocalTitle>
      <DisplayOrder>PremiereDate</DisplayOrder>
      <CollectionItems>
        <CollectionItem>
          <Path>D:\02-Sets\13 Ghosts Collection\13 Ghosts (1960)\13 Ghosts (1960).mkv</Path>
        </CollectionItem>
        <CollectionItem>
          <Path>D:\02-Sets\13 Ghosts Collection\Thir13en Ghosts (2001)\Thir13en Ghosts (2001).mkv</Path>
        </CollectionItem>
      </CollectionItems>
    </Item>



    **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.
