[Bug]: TV Show Main Posters Don't Show Up for Local Media Sources

[tvR9718]

This issue respects the following points:

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration issue; Please visit our Discord first to troubleshoot with volunteers, before creating a report.
• This issue is not already reported on GitHub (I've searched it).
• I'm using an up to date version of Tunarr; We generally do not support previous older versions. If possible, please update to the latest version before opening an issue.

Description of the bug

When adding a local source the main TV show poster will not show up, but TV show folders added via Jellyfin pull posters without an issue.

Tested on a fresh setup with previous appdata being removed.

Reproduction steps

1. Create a local media source pointed to a folder of TV Shows
2. Wait for it to scan
3. Look at media source
4. Create a media source pointed to same instance in Jellyfin.
5. Repeat 2-3 for media source

What is the current bug behavior?

Local paths don't have main TV show posters even if they are present

What is the expected correct behavior?

Local paths should be pulling all the posters just like Jellyfin connections do.

Same issue here.. I'm using Plex though.

Version: 1.3.13
FFMPEG: 7.1.1
NodeJS: 22.20.0

Edit: Sorry, pressed Sumit too soon. Anyway, I solved this by selecting the "Proxy Artwork" in Experimental Features section, now it works. Route artwork requests through the Tunarr server instead of using direct media source URLs.
