Description of the bug

When doing a scan of a library, I get inconsistent results for the embedded posters.

All the movies were edited with the same program to add the poster images (Subler) and they're all the same size (made with the same template).

I'm not sure why some work, and some don't, and the one's that don't work, updates don't seem to help

Reproduction steps

Add video file with embedded poster art to Jellyfin, kick off a scan.

What is the current bug behavior?

Inconsistent poster files.

What is the expected correct behavior?

All video files use the embedded poster file.

Jellyfin Server version

10.10.0+

What is the settings of image fetchers for the library?

I've also been having this issue. I tried so many things to fix it, but no luck. All my movies have embedded posters, yet it only scans some and either puts a random poster or no poster at all. Refreshing metadata to delete and replace just puts the same random image or nothing. It's very inconsistent as it scans and shows the correct posters embedded for some
