artist images / library settings ignored

[sak]

hello,

new to the forum, relatively new to jellyfin

adding a new music library to an empty server, the library settings are ignored and images for both artists and album artists are downloaded from one of the services and added to the library.

i'd rather have the 'empty' default icons for artists and album artists.

any ideas, how to solve this problem?

the details:

• just updated jellyfin to 10.9.11 (from 10.8.13)
  

• removed all existing music libraries
  
• removed all metadata files in /var/jellyfin/metadata and /var/cache/jellyfin
  

• all music files are properly tagged with musicbrainz-picard
  
• all files grouped according to album artist and album
  
• metadata downloaders and metadata fetchers for both albums and artists disabled
  
• image extractor enabled
  

or is there a trick to batch remove all images for artists / album artists ?

thank you
best
sak

Can you go to /var/lib/jellyfin/root/default/Music (or whatever you called your music library) and share the contents of "options.xml" via pastebin?

I'm getting a 404 on your pastebin. Since it shouldn't be too big, can you just post it directly in a forum post?

Disable real time monitoring. It isn't supported by SMB.

Otherwise, the config looks fine for what you're looking to do.

Also clear your browser cache. I'm wondering if what you're still seeing is from the browser caching previous images.

[sak]

thank you for the SMB info.

cleared the browser cache multiple times. no effect. since I can manually edit the images for artists/album artists (Primary, logo and Backdrop) the references are somwhere in the db, I guess.

in the previously installed version (10.8.13) only the images for artists, but not album artists were downloaded. same library settings.

[sak]

as a follow up.still struggling to get rid of artist images.

* removed all existing music libraries
* removed all metadata files in /var/jellyfin/metadata and /var/cache/jellyfin
* restarted server
* browser cache deleted

* created a new library with _all_ metadata downloaders and metadata fetchers disabled, even with image extractors disabled

I end up with blue default icons for album covers and all album artists.

BUT two images for album artists and MANY for artists are shown, can be manualy deleted, one by one

So I guess that the information remains in the database even if all libraries are removed. Do you have any suggestions how to proceed?

Do I need to do a full re-install?
thank you
