I'm a relative novice to jellyfin - have been using it on and off since the start of the pandemic, and it's come a long way (in terms of how easy to use and capable I find it to be... which says as much about ease of use as it does my growth in understanding therein) in that time - thanks to everyone who has worked on it.

I just reinstalled my main office PC back in September with a totally clean install of Windows 11. Added Jellyfin 10.8.5 with default install options pretty soon thereafter and have been serving media up from a NAS drive mapped to a windows SMB share since then.

Am slowly recreating individual libraries based on my personal preference for categorization - I keep animation separate from movies, and those separate from music etc. Have just gone and added in my relatively small film library (a coupe of hundred discs) and was very pleasantly surprised at how many more it recognized without assistance as compared with the first time I set it up under my previous windows 10 install. Spent a little time cleaning up unrecognized movies using the 'Identify' option for each movie, and it's gone fairly well, except for a handful of movies, for the cover-art or Image used for each film. Most films are fine, and I've reduced the number of sources which ImageGrabber should search for images to just "theMovieDB" and "The Open Movie Database" but Jellyfin still has a mind of its own as to which image to use for films.

I'm trying to use a manual override process to tidy up individual films, which I'm assuming should work for both an unidentified movie as well as a mis-identified one. Having gone into the Movie library and seen a list of films, I will focus on one sample problem child:

• Hover over the bottom-right corner of the movie thumbnail, click the 3 dots, click IDENTIFY
• Enter "Blade Runner 2049" for movie title and '2017' for the year, click search
• I get the correct movie shown for both of my database sources, with the correct year, and title linked to the same thumbnail, as shown below. I click a thumbnail from one DB, go to the confirmation screen where the tickbox to replace the existing image IS indeed selected, so that it looks like this:

I click okay and the movie shows up in the movie listing window like this:

I can find no way to override it. If I click on the film, all the movie info is correct, however, the banner/background image at the top of that movie page is just a logo (no picture) and the movie cover-art is the same as the white one above, one which wasn't even available from the DB metadata and image selection screen.

I'm fairly unfamiliar with Jellyfin so maybe it's an easy fix. I found this posting but i don't know what diskart is and it didn't solve my issue (google shows diskpart and not diskart.)

Any suggestions most gratefully received!
