Guest petwri Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I got a problem regarding music artwork in Emby. After an import (music properly tagged, even containing MBID's), music artwork is showing up for albums, but not for songs. I have a "folder.jpg" file stored in every album folder with the structure "artist/album/xx-xx track.ext" (which means that the cover art is stored as "artist/album/folder.jpg"), but no file-embedded artwork. The folder is recognized on an album level, but not per song - which does not really make sense. The Metadata manager shows primary images for ever "album" folder, but no "xx-xx track.ext" inside that folder. Problem occurs for all albums. So either I am doing something wrong, or this is kind of buggy. Server version is 3.0.5675.1. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37050 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 can you show an example screenshot of one of your folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petwri Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I can't really make screenshots of the folders, since the server is running on a headless linux machine. Folder structure example is main@htpc:~$ find /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning\ Phase/ -type f /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-09 Blackbird Chain.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-08 Don't Let It Go.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-05 Blue Moon.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-13 Waking Light.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-02 Morning.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-03 Heart Is a Drum.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/folder.jpg /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-10 Phase.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-11 Turn Away.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-01 Cycle.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-04 Say Goodbye.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-12 Country Down.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-06 Unforgiven.flac /media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase/01-07 Wave.flac And, as said, MBID properly tagged, but no embedded pictures: main@htpc:/media/Media2/Music/Beck/Morning Phase$ metaflac 01-01\ Cycle.flac --list METADATA block #0 type: 0 (STREAMINFO) is last: false length: 34 minimum blocksize: 4096 samples maximum blocksize: 4096 samples minimum framesize: 1045 bytes maximum framesize: 9621 bytes sample_rate: 44100 Hz channels: 2 bits-per-sample: 16 total samples: 1800456 MD5 signature: 27b1ae18fa90619eae2078176085b885 METADATA block #1 type: 4 (VORBIS_COMMENT) is last: false length: 2272 vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.3.0 20130526 comments: 51 comment[0]: LYRICS=Instrumental comment[1]: DISCSUBTITLE= comment[2]: GENRE=Folk Rock comment[3]: DISC=1 comment[4]: DISCNUMBER=1 comment[5]: MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID=d0e94759-a734-4297-a995-fc1335907e03 comment[6]: COMPOSER= comment[7]: TITLE=Cycle comment[8]: MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID=275c1547-f0c2-44be-a9ab-4f3c15eb1c16 comment[9]: ACOUSTID_FINGERPRINT=AQABNJTCcNRw4Xi1GM-JdB_O4cbx42GOO4dmG0hRWcOTvviG--jhH-nHQd9xNMe74GyIoxehDj-O_Dh85MNf_HAO_ehR_fDKojuO9vAH3fBxwvpx-BqAfzjhHDeO_4F_iN3x3vihTiF8XMW1IWd4_CtGa-iJ78j44gpuBz0aShP-Ax9-9PCha4P848aJ-Ed9HN9R9mDw4_iFH1HbIv544MOH9xpOGlUinDtyiN5RT0ZuXNTRE02KKzoqIcwLHeGjoTle5D_UUEcs6TiaPuiL6_jRozk-XPlxhI8In9Du48eLMNmOXimLU0QbBdaJiyH8Drl26Md7PEd44UdvxKSI9_jhFz_uokyC-vBzwu9QG9fx4zlU8UWjJrgHT19wos_R43jh4sGPH58ieBSOF82IT3mgozFCPMKjD1d-XEQlHQ_M5cO0gj-iHvXRXPhftPhR7uiPJpQUPIfw42hevBd-AT-CHz98Fr1wokczr3iO5onReTj14A_aodnxA_3xoj1-ocePH_Vm_GieB_2MPDwuoTzEw1cFrzzOWdAlWHmMPsMR6hGa9ziuG80Zo59xBOfRPDu0zxv6Bz9O9DiaA82D89B14ToR7jo8Bj_8Dj98PB8q08gPHRe0nLGDF3mNJtyOpwf-YB-LrwddbchzKD_6Gel1-PhEoBa-H8IAMMQQCRkwwABliDCBCcLAJAwZgYwjTDiBJEBAWAOIY0JaIxAADDkrHBMAUCaMZUIRZYhQThiHmCACVGCRIII6YJR1SiKrgKNCEAYJMIBoJQlgQigCBCFMGAGSUAYUhgggACwggDPEGEAAUEQJAognjAGBnNBEAAAIUABBJgRQSBjFrLMGYGGsIFIYpgQAlhJFmAYAEKaIAgwRYABBFBDpjOHCGMGgIQRY4ogyBCBFDCAUAKQIUIwIIwwRglkAHEKAMKKQIQIRQYhRyBhkgBCCIeCMcsBI1AGhAggiACKUOCAIANYYAQ comment[10]: REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN=-9.62 dB comment[11]: MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASEGROUPID=bc4e1c5e-1fea-468d-b0ac-78b1c7f415f4 comment[12]: REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK=1.000000 comment[13]: ACOUSTID_ID=88ba9f8f-0ea0-45a7-8da3-f791ba0ee4bf comment[14]: REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN=-5.29 dB comment[15]: TRACKTOTAL=13 comment[16]: TRACKC=13 comment[17]: TOTALTRACKS=13 comment[18]: MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID=309c62ba-7a22-4277-9f67-4a162526d18a comment[19]: ARTIST=Beck comment[20]: BPM=0 comment[21]: DISCTOTAL=1 comment[22]: DISCC=1 comment[23]: TOTALDISCS=1 comment[24]: MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMSTATUS=Official comment[25]: ALBUM ARTIST=Beck comment[26]: ALBUMARTIST=Beck comment[27]: DATE=2014-02-25 comment[28]: YEAR=2014 comment[29]: MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMCOMMENT= comment[30]: ALBUM=Morning Phase comment[31]: ASIN=B00HHYEOY0 comment[32]: MEDIA=CD comment[33]: DESCRIPTION= comment[34]: COMMENT= comment[35]: LABEL=Capitol Records comment[36]: PUBLISHER=Capitol Records comment[37]: REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK=0.821564 comment[38]: CATALOGNUMBER=B001983802 comment[39]: ORIGINALDATE=2014-02-21 comment[40]: MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID=309c62ba-7a22-4277-9f67-4a162526d18a comment[41]: TRACK=1 comment[42]: TRACKNUMBER=1 comment[43]: COMPILATION=0 comment[44]: ENCODEDBY= comment[45]: ENCODER= comment[46]: LANGUAGE=eng comment[47]: RELEASECOUNTRY=US comment[48]: SCRIPT=Latn comment[49]: MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMTYPE=album comment[50]: GROUPING= METADATA block #2 type: 1 (PADDING) is last: true length: 338869 As said, Emby shows the artwork for the album, but not for the songs - they have a missing primary image.

fc7 123 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) I think @@Luke is talking about a screenshot of how the folder look on Emby webclient for example, not on the filesystem. On the other hand this is working fine for me running the same version of Emby on CentOS.

Guest petwri Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 So, I rescanned my library, still the same problem. Here is a minimal example from the metadata manager: You can see, the artwork is showing up for the album, but not for every individual track.

Luke 37050 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 That's not normal, no. I'll have to test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petwri Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Just FYI, the artwork is also not showing up in Kodi when using the Arctic Zephyr Exploded skin. Fanart and extrafanart are working, but cdart and cover are missing. Edited August 24, 2015 by petwri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigma 1 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I can also confirm this issue. Emby 3.0.5724.6 running on Ubuntu 14.04.1 with Mono 4.0.4. Albums are correctly tagged, and songs have cover art in the emby album browser, but not in search or the metadata manager. Although all my songs have embedded art I have disabled the image extractor in the songs metadata tab, in the hope my folder.jpg would also be used for the songs. Maybe this is a recent issue of the library scanner since fc7 can't reproduce? Maybe a solution would be to give the option to inherit the art from album in the songs metadata tab? EDIT: Songs have artwork in Kodi now thanks to a recent commit on the Emby.Kodi github (thanks angelblue05!). I just tested the master release and it works properly, an update to the official Kodi repo will follow soon I presume.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 @@petwri If you are asking about using parent artwork (album) for songs, it is available since beta version 1.1.50. Latest beta is now 1.1.52. If you are on that version and it's still missing, just reset your database and it should add them.

Guest petwri Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks for the help, I will try that as soon as possible. I just read on the Kodi forum (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=225088) that addons can modify kodis databases and add artwork in a practically unlimited way. Therefore my question: what sorts of artwork does the Emby addon add to the Kodi music / video database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
