Reproduction steps

Add file to library folder, wait for jellyfin to pick up on it.

What is the current bug behavior?

A few elements do show:

  • Artwort or cover
  • Description

Other info is missing:

  • Cast
  • Genre

What is the expected correct behavior?

Not sure what's missing for Jellyfin to pick up on all of the metadata information. Would be great to have Cast and Genre show as well.
