I just got Jellyfin installed and indexed and it’s been pretty good, but there’s one thing I can’t figure out. Shows and Movies are correctly identified but instead of showing the cover art it’s a random screen grab from the first episode or part of the movie.
Does anyone know how to get it to correctly pull from TMDB preferably, or another source. I could do it by hand, but I have hundreds of movies and series.

Basically what happens is JF correctly identifies the series from the file names. I can look at all the corresponding metadata and see that it’s correct, including the TMDB id. However there’s just no cover art. I have two identical series and for one it pulls it in and the other it doesn’t.
I know it’s not TMDB (directly) as I have another media server (Think like a Dune or Zidoo) and it is also indexing the same exact files against TMDB and it will correctly add the cover art.
Here’s two examples
Is there any way I can enable/see logging to see what API calls it’s trying to make and their status? I can probably figure it out from there.

So, the issue is that the series isn't being identified correctly? That looks to be the case with The Slime Diaries. I have mine labeled "The Slime Diaries - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime". It gets identified correctly.

What’s interesting is if I try to identify it by name or exact TMDb ID it comes up blank. I think there’s an issue hitting the API, which is why I was looking for some logging. I’m gonna try some other providers too.

You should be able to get to the logs from the dashboard:
If it's failing to hit the API, you will likely see hundreds or thousands of repeat messages in the logs.
Here is what I use for my Anime library:

Check to see if the files are named appropriately as well as the other suggestions here.

That's a plugin that does that, no? Have you checked that it's installed and set up correctly?
