    In the grand scheme of things this is a tiny issue, but is there anyway to have Jellyfin automatically download more images per image 'type'? (e.g. : Primary, Clearart, Banner, Logo, Thumb, Backdrop, etc.) 

    I really don't care about the few megabytes that'd be added even if I had Jellyfin auto download literally every available image, but it is kind of annoying to have some of my image sources be slow so when I'm trying to find a good image I end up having to wait 30 or so seconds just to see if the image is of good quality or not. (and yes, I know it shows the resolution, but by 'quality' I don't just mean objective dimensions but also things like personal preference, how well it fits in a lineup with the other images it's next to, etc.)

    I can set the maximum number of images scraped, but I can't figure out how to force Jellyfin to automatically download more images and just store them somewhere. (for instance in ./SHOWS/SHOWNAME/ExtraImages/ or something)

    (note : I think this would also be useful for fanart screens, since it could pull more fanart to cycle through - though I'm not sure on that)

    I think the only one you can currently do this with is backdrops via the fetcher settings for each library.

    It does look like you can set it to allow several backdrops, but I can't see any way to make it automatically download several. Given that most of the time you just want a decent selection to be there automatically to fill blank space, having to download them all manually isn't really a great option in that respect. (though the reason you want several backdrops is a bit different to why you'd want several of the others. You want several backdrops for variety, whereas you'd want several of the others so that you can pick between them more quickly & easily. Plus you might just find several ones that you like and want to save as a fanart gallery or something)

    Wait, maybe not? I thought it wasn't automatic because I couldn't find a scheduled task but now I'm not sure because it does look like it's populating. If so, not sure what triggers/controls it. Eitherway I still do wish there was a way to save several for the others as well.
