Emby server not creating, or populating extrafanart or extrathumbs folders
Mungo posted a topic in General/Windows
Ok, I'm officially crumbling and asking for help. I for the life of me, can't find where I can now configure extrafanart and backdrop settings. I've read all the posts saying these have been shifted to the individual library sections, which I had already noticed a lot of settings disappeared to, but there's nothing like there was before in regard to amount of backdrops to save and quality etc. My issue is that Emby is not creating an extrafanart or extrathumbs folder, or if already there, not populating them during scraping a movie. I use to pre-scrape my movies with 3rd party software, which generated these folders, but the filenames were garbage instead of "fanart1.jpg" etc. so I cleaned them out, leaving the empty folders there and when moving the movie onto my NAS where emby could see it - it would generate fanart as I had configured. Now I'm finding that even if I manually create these folders, emby still doesn't populate any images. Currently running version 3.4.1.0. I've also read that some things are create or generated, "as required", so as to not hammer the provider sites, however I only use emby server as a fancy GUI for metadata scraping and management. It's completely standalone when it comes to any front-end player, so even if I load up my movie in Kodi, emby doesn't know it's been accessed to potentially initiate the grab for more art... I've just managed to get it to create these folders, and to do so I've had to drill into the movie via the library, bring up "edit images", search for more and manually download 1. It then created both folders and put the fanart image in there. ...lil' help? Cheers, Mungo
