SOLVED: Consistent Failures Fetching Metadata from TheMovieDB

[TheDreadPirate]

When you run "sudo ifconfig" or "sudo netplan status" do you have any IPv6 addresses assigned? You said Jellyfin doesn't have IPv6 enabled, and your ISP doesn't support IPv6. But is your OS still making DNS requests for IPv6 addresses? You'd have to disable IPv6 at the OS level.

Try this.

What happens when you curl api.tmdb.org and specify IPv6 only?

Code:

curl -6 -v api.tmdb.org

I'm assuming it gets an IPv6 address but fails to connect. And if you switch -6 with -4 it will then succeed and return 301 code.

Read this to disable IPv6 at the OS level.

Disabled IPv6 on the whole server, and in doing so, I managed to mess up the permissions on the server, so I can no longer SSH in
Looks like I may have to uninstall and reinstall OMV  
Even with IPv6 completely disabled, Jellyfin is still failing to get Metadata

I've created an account just for this. I had the same problem where Jellyfin would not fetch the proper metadata—no images, no names, etc. 

It turns out it was my VPN. Even though I had enabled split tunneling, it was still messing with Jellyfin.
