Description of the bug

I can't find any way of disabling local artwork in JellyFin. I have a bunch of jpegs in the same folder as my movies and they are showing up instead of the scraped posters.

I don't want to move, delete, or change their permissions as recommended here.

Is there any way to disable this feature completely?
