dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I noticed a lot of squashed imaged in my LiveTV scheduled recordings which appears to use the thumb image. I have been playing around with resizing, but it would be better if I knew what that optimal size was. Is there anywhere posted the recommended sizes of the different types of images? Also, it seems if thumb images exist in the metadata, I cannot change the thumb in the scheduled recording list. How do I refresh the images displayed there? I tried refreshing the library and the web browser. Seems I need to refresh the database. How do I do that?

Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It's the aspect ratio that is more important than the size. Can you show a screenshot to demonstrate? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Sure. Here is the flash set to record and the image it shows. The next pic are the images in the library. As you can see none of them are the image that is displayed. Pic2 Edited December 7, 2018 by dcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Those all look pretty good. Thumbs should have a 16:9 aspect ratio but yours is close enough to be usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 But it is not the image I want displayed. Look closer at the schedule picture. How do I apply the library image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The UI is choosing thumbs for that particular screen. There currently are no settings for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 But the thumb selected is not the one being used. How do I get it to use the thumb I selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It's probably pulling that one from the guide data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 So the guide data is first priority? I can tell epg123 to not supply the images. Would Emby then use it's images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Nope, not coming from the guide data. Has an icon image, but it is totally different. This is an image stuck in the database. How do I clear it out? How do I set the image I want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 No, it's not stuck. You're looking at upcoming scheduled recordings. These are program entries. It pulls the images from those programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I don't see where those images are coming from. What is the point of having library images if they can't be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 But that screen is not displaying library items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 but it uses library images when a guide image is not available. My issue is Emby is giving priority to the guide images and we should have the option to use library images instead. But even with that said, I see the image used as not coming from the guide at all. Where does it actually come from? It isn't the xml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8242 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 But that screen is not displaying library items. I don't use Live TV, but Live TV is it's own library separate from a TV Shows Library, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I think we all need to understand how those image are used and where they com from. If there are no thumb images available, then you can create one and the schedule will use it. If there are thumbs, Emby picks some unknown image that is not even in the thumb image list.

Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It saves the recordings into a TV library, but these are not recordings (yet). These are upcoming programs in the guide that have been selected to be recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 So where does that come from? Not the guide data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Why do you feel that it doesn't come from the guide data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 no, it doesn't. the only image in the guide for that show is in an icon tag and it is not the same image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 how do you know that is the only image from the guide data? what guide data source are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I am using NPVR for recordings. Maybe it comes from there. I will check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1551 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 May I suggest here possibly (or similar) - C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\Shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 May I suggest here possibly (or similar) - C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\Shows Yes, that is where they are coming from. So I need to edit them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1551 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I wouldst presume so. I used to have very squashed images in NextPVR recordings looking in Chrome and Theater but seem to have had a good clearout recently so haven't got any too check. Also you can if you want fix up any incorrect art in the NPVR directory if you so desire, I get quite a few mis-identifications being in NZ.
