    Help me with setting up Jellyfin in KODI.

    I have a server with Debian OS, where I installed Jellyfin in docker and set up directories for multimedia in it. From my PC, I connect to the server address 192.168.100.2:8096 and everything works. On the machine with KODI installed, I installed the Jellyfin add-on and after a while it imported all the previews for movies and series.

    Unfortunately, the movies and series could not be played. I found that if I change the poster for a movie through the web interface, I can start this movie on KODI without any problems.
    I also found that if I choose to clean the library after the first import in KODI, all the imported movie previews are deleted. If I change the poster for some again, they are displayed in KODI and can be started, but if I clean the library again, they are deleted again.

    I have no idea where I could be making a mistake

    Can you share your jellyfin logs via privatebin.net?

    OK, I'll find out how to do it this afternoon and add it here. So far I've only gotten to the stage:

    - If I change the poster for a movie in the Jellyfin web interface, it will also change in KODI and in that case the movie can be played (it can't be played without changing the poster)

    - After the initial import of all movies and series into KODI, all media is deleted from KODI again when I choose to clean the library

    - Even if the KODI library is empty after cleaning, if I change the poster for a movie again, only this movie appears in KODI and can be played, but if I clean the library, it disappears again

    - But it's not like that with series. Their posters were loaded during the initial import, but the directories are empty in KODI. Even if I choose to clean the library, they don't disappear from KODI. When I change the poster, they can't be played. No matter what I do, I only see the posters of the individual series, but I can't do anything
