@@ebr @@Luke Today when I updated the Server to the above version, all my Collections started to look like the attached Screenshot on all of my HTML based Clients (Android, WebClient on Chrome, Firefox). Before, the Covers were fitting in the designated field. On Samsung TV, everything looks as it needs to be. Curiously, this occured just on the first collection page (1-100), when I switched to page 2 (101-X), the covers are normal... Now to the funny thing: When I change the order from ascending to descending, the different covers on Page 2 are also not cropped even they were cropped on Page 1 before changing the order. When changing to sorting by added Date, suddenly all Covers are well sized on Page 1 and cropped on Page 2, so the behaviour is the other way around than described above. The oversizing occurs on all types of Coverart Options (Stacked, SideCase, ClearCase etc...), even they look fine in Metadata Manager. Refreshing does not help. Activate of keeping original aspect ratio does totally screw up the sizes. It seems that Covers from Fanart.tv (1000x1426) are treated right after changing it to the preferred Picture Downloader. But themoviedb Posters (1000x1500) or greater resolutions are sized to big. When manually upload 1000x1426 resized pic to Metadata Manager, it's also not working. Something is really wrong (at least just on my machine?) with the first page of collections in realtions to the different calls for sorting.

With all features enabled like actor pics, chapter pics, Coverart Plugin, there's a whole bunch of images created that let decrease the storage space on the drive where Emby is located. After trying out different styles with the Coverart plugin, I recognized that all the picture styles (when generated one time) are stored somewhere, even if they aren't used anymore. Is there an option to delete not used pictures created by the Coverart-Plugin?

There doesn't appear to be an aac overlay. 2015-08-23 19:16:36.5877 Error - CoverArt: Resource not found: codec_aac 2015-08-23 19:16:36.5877 Warn - CoverArt: CoverArt - Undefined overlay type: codec_aac v4.0.8.8

Noticed that for WMV files, the coverart treatment is always as Bluray even if the Display settings in the metadata are set to "Movie" Also, a collection will get a default treatment as what looks like the last movie in the collection. can we not allow that treatment to say "Collection"

Hi, I was going to try out the CoverArt plugin. It seemed pretty neat. However I am wondering how the work to process the art is being run. I have a fairly large medialibrary (some 50k files/50 TB of data), and what happened was that Emby just stopped responding. I could now browse the medialibrary at all. I understand that it will not be able to process all this media instantly, but it locked the whole server. It seemed as if the images being provided by CoverArt totally blocked the browsing all together when the library was not fully processed. I have not looked in the source code for CoverArt at all, but my thought at this point is that it seemed that CoverArt takes over the publishing of all configured art work - without bypassing with not completed art - which in practice blocks the library completely until the art generation is finished. I have a dedicated server solely for Emby. Not a monster machine, but it's ok (it's a Dell PowerEdge T20, G3220 @ 3 Ghx, 32 GB RAM, Windows Server 2012 R2). I let the server run for 12 hours, but after that I had to uninstall CoverArt, cause it totally blocked the server, and it was hard to even get into the Emby Settings. So my thoughts are if it was possible to add some features to the plugin to make it even better (it seems pretty cool): * Make sure the plugin does not totally takes over the server (throttling or doing the update art work processing in a lower prioritized thread) * It would be nice with some sort of progressbar so you can see where CoverArt is in the process of creating the art. * A bypass to the available artwork until the new art have been created (ie. it's still possible to browse the library even though it is not completely finished) Looking forward to a reply with your thoughts about the matter. Thanks.

So I'm currently running Emby Server Version 3.0.5641.4 via OpenMediaVault (Debian based file server). Everything works fine except for CoverArt. I don't get any formatting or correct covers. In addition, there are no thumbnails in the configuration. When I checked the logs, I found this So I connected to my server via SSH and installed ImageMagick (Apt-Get Install imagemagick -y). The software installed successfully, however CoverArt still doesn't seem to work. I've looked through google, even hitting up the OMV forums and trying their steps, but nothing. Anyone have any ideas? server-63570328058.txt

Hello, I have spent several hours scratching my head with this one... My library is showing TV series is set to use the 'Case' treatment. However, it is showing TV SERIES in the actual treatment, instead of DVD or codec, like I thought was supposed to happen. I have even tried setting a custom treatment to show DVD as DVD and also, MPEG as DVD. This is not happening. Am I missing something? I have gone through the CoverArt walkthrough several times, and am officially stumped. Any suggestions?

I just became a supporter and installed CoverArt. I'm trying to setup my Media Folders to use the collage treatment, but I'm having some issues. I have uploaded a generic primary image to each media folder, but when collage is selected as the media folder treatment, all I see is the primary image. Also, on the settings page, the preview looks like a broken thumbnail. However, if I use another treatment under the Multiple style, it works. Here are some screenshots with the Stack treatment selected. I'm not sure what the difference is or what I might be missing. Can anyone point me to a setting or something I should check? I wasn't sure if any log files would be helpful, but I can certainly upload any if need be. Thanks!

I am having an issue with some images when it comes to collections. Some options work and some shrink random covers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi, [i thought i already had posted this earlier but i must have forgotten to actually post it.] i'm running 3.0.5557.0 on a synology x64 with mono beta from synocommunity. I've installed coverart 4.0.8.3. all in all the setup is working very well. there is one error however which gets displayed only if i access my server through "app.mediabrowser.tv". it does not occur when i access my server using the local url. error occurs regardless if i'm in the local lan or at a remote location. The error is displayed for each item in the "Resume" section and displayed as in the screenshot the effect coverart is supposed to apply is also not applied. If i access mb using the local url all is ok and coverart does it's magic. second thing i've noticed is that the icons on the "My Views" section are much larger when accessed using the app.mediabrowser.tv url instead of the internal url. besides these two glitches mb is performing really well on my setup - which i consider more alpha than beta. cheers udo

Hi Chess. I've just installed CoverArt for the first time, and I'm liking the way it looks in your app, but on the home screen the treatment is distorted by the episode overlay: In the dashboard they look like this: I know there's not much room on the screen, but just wondered if you could perhaps make the images smaller and put the text under the image ?? On the episode page, the media info icons need raising a little I think: Not sure what other CoverArt users think. Thanks.

Whenever I add new content to the server, I have found that the new coverart/screenshots do not load on the homepage of the ipad app. However when I click on a movie or episode, the image appears correctly in the details box. It seems as though the images on the home page are not refreshing when new media is added, and there is no drag to refresh option on the homepage. The Movies and TV sections both show all the coverart and refresh correctly using the drag down method. Does any one know why the home page images aren't appearing? This seems like a problem at the server level since it is happening on multiple ipads and uninstalling/reinstalling the app did not change anything. Is there something I can refresh on the server side? If it's a server issue, I will gladly include a log if needed. This has been happening for a while, through several server updates. Server is currently Version 3.0.5429.25781

Hi all, Is it possible to get an overlay to display when the movie is a stub file. Ideally it would be great to get another attribute to display in the overlay but this may be stretching it. ie. I have a DVD which is referenced via a stub and that item in the movie.xml has a collection number value it would be good to have some visible overlay that it is an offline media or even better can the overlay pick collection number up and display it as text in the overlay ? Regards

my cover art expired. i have half of my movies with no cover art. i have made a donation. put the key in. it shows registered. how do i force an update to all the movies that are missing the cover art? thanks.

Something strange happened to my library and the only thing I can associate it to is the update to 3.0.5464.40000 because I have not made any other changes to my library or MB3. I've been using MB3 (MBS and MBC) for quite a while now with no issues. All of my movies had the movie cover for the 'Primary' image. However, yesterday I noticed the covers (cover art) for most of my movies was gone! So I went into the MBS Metadata Manager and sure enough for about 80% of my movies the 'Primary' image has been changed to a clip instead of the cover! However, when I go in Windows Explorer the correct cover image is in the associated movie folder either as a folder.jpg or folder.png. I have not made any changes to MBS. Here is my setup for metadata: I saw this similar post, but the OP seems to not had his images working right since he migrated from MB2 to MB3. Mine had been fine until yesterday. http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/15452-clear-down-and-start-again/ Any ideas why MBS changed all my 'Primary' images?

Hi, The lastest server update (3.0.5462.0) has broken folder.jpg covers for me through my entire library. I am using the server with an HTPC running MBC 3.0.238.0, and since the update last night, my coverart treatment is now using the filename.jpg instead of the folder.jpg. This is as below screenshots...while not a big issue, I need the filename.jpg for my WDTV Live to display covers, but as you can see the aspect ratio and reflections are interfering with my coverart on my HTPC when using MB3 with ROC theme. Is there any way to force MBserver to use folder.jpg? Thanks

Does the WP app support CoverArt treatments? New to WP, so not sure. I've seen a folder image or two attempt to add treatment, but reverts back to untreated.

@@ebr Version 4.0.6.5 Doubt you'll need a log for this as it's a UI issue. But I've just been playing with CoverArt and when opening the treatment selection scroller for a Media Type. The scroller doesn't remember its position and always returns to the top item... "Case" I think it is, if I scroll down to Misc using the sidebar scroller then it auto returns to the top item. Trying to click on an item if the scroller does stay where I want it to, also returns it to the top item.

My box sets aren't being treated with box set overlay. The Alex Cross Collection was create by Auto Box set plugin and Aliens I have in its own Collection folder containing a collection.xml.

CoverArt 4.0 takes your posters and screen grabs and enhances them in any one of a number of ways. Spruce up your Media Browser clients with format-specific cases, automatic overlays for resolution, audio, 3D and subtitles and more. Create automatic multi-image treatments for box-sets and collections that show off what is inside. Specify custom rotation amounts on the cases to give your displays a 3-dimensional touch. Version 4.0.6.5 - Remove all glossy overlays (looked dated and didn't work on Linux) - Fix font incompatibilities on systems with no UI (e.g. UnRaid) Version 4.0.6.1 - Server compatibility - Fix TV not updating when changed Version 4.0.3.5 (Beta) - Adjust some scaling issues on indicator overlays - Add MetroCaseCDs treatment Version 4.0.3.4 (Release) - Fix broken box set previews - Reverse "oldest cover" logic Version 4.0.3.3 (Release) - Add new "Plain" treatment (only indicator overlays) - Add new "MetroCase" treatment for more modern look - Fix some of the media info overlays not showing properly Version 4.0.2.1 (Release) Fix null refs in image provider Fix ordering of multi-image children Version 4.0.1.6 (Release) - Remove defunct server type - Ignore box set children when building multi-sets Version 4.0.1.4 - Treat generic videos like movies - Add "ca-ignore" tag to ignore any item - Don't translate banner treatments - Treat Artists in web client view Version 4.0.1.0 (Release) - Update for server changes Version 4.0.0.7 - Fix custom overlay folder selection - Prefer external subs - Add new "SpineCase" treatment style Version 4.0.0.5 - More server changes Version 4.0.0.4 - Adjust to some server changes Version 4.0.0.1 - Fix changes to some music item treatments not being seen Version 4.0.0.0 - Initial release

What determines SD vs HD overlays? The majority of my movies are 720 but randomly some show as SD, but majority show HD. Currently on plugin version 4.0.6.6. Examples

I would really love an option for a indicator overlay for trailers, I like sapphire and diamond cases, and by adding this I would be more willing to initiate the server toggle "Display trailers with movie suggestions"

Would it be possible to have a CD Single overlay for directories that have [CDS] in their name? Something like this perhaps:

Just wondering if its even a possibility for coverart to help with the collage image of a playlist and then also the items inside of them not being treated?

I was wondering if we could get a cover art for Remastered in 4K. Would love to know which ones are in that format.
