Hello Emby community, I’m using Emby Server on a Synology NAS, and I recently enabled the options to save metadata in .nfo files as well as to save images (posters, fanart, etc.) directly in the media folders. This works perfectly for newly added movies and series, and their associated files are being stored correctly. My issue is with the content that was already in the library before I enabled these options. Even when I refresh the metadata, only the .nfo file is saved, but the images are not exported into the media folders. The only way I’ve found to save those images is: Open the movie or series manually. Click "Edit image." Re-select or re-confirm the image. Only then does Emby save that image file inside the media folder. This wouldn’t be a problem if I still had the original image files, but in many cases I used custom images that I no longer have saved elsewhere. These images are still being displayed correctly in Emby, so I assume they’re still stored in the server cache. My question is: Is there any way for Emby to automatically export all currently visible images (even if they’re just in the cache) and save them into their respective media folders? That way, I wouldn’t have to manually redo or search for all those custom artworks again, one by one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time!

Greetings, Is there a way to identify a season of a series in Emby? I’ve encountered several anime series where seasons are released in parts, each with its own advertising, different release dates, and even a unique identifier, like those managed by AniDB.net. This site is one of the most comprehensive metadata collectors for anime, but Emby does not integrate an official plugin for it, unlike Jellyfin. Currently, Emby only has the functionality to identify complete series, but not individual seasons or episodes. This becomes an issue when organizing series with seasons split into parts. For example, if I have a season divided into Part 1 and Part 2, and in my directory, I place them as "Season 1" and "Season 2," Emby automatically interprets "Season 2" as the second season. However, that’s not correct, as both are part of the same season. I tried copying and pasting the corresponding IDs from AniDB.net into the metadata and then updating it, but Emby doesn’t recognize them. AniDB.net would be an excellent option because it organizes seasons and episodes in great detail, assigning them unique IDs. However, the real issue is that Emby lacks the functionality to identify seasons and episodes accurately. If Emby developed this feature, integrating AniDB.net as a plugin would be ideal, as it would allow selecting seasons and episodes based on those IDs. That said, is there any way to achieve this level of organization in Emby? Is there a way to have seasons identified correctly without solely relying on folder names? I would appreciate any suggestions to resolve this issue.

hey so i noticed that in most streaming sites like Spotify, Apple Music, and Google Play Music it has a small "E" icon (see images) by the album name and some songs marking if they are explicit. I was wondering if this feature could be added to Emby. Like either you mark it manually or the metadata scraper automatically adds it. This would help when knowing what songs might not be safe to play at all places and this could be an option when it comes to parental controls. Like if you don't want your kid or a user to listen explicit music then you'd be able to check not to allow explicit music. Anyway is there a way to add this?

Hi, Since today no new metadata gets downloaded, In the loggs i am getting this (via the normal browser i can access TVDB without any problems. I switched the Server Ip today, might that be the problem? Problem is on all libraries, i already tried multiple Series :) 2020-10-26 19:22:03.708 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Execute: /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/bin/ffprobe -i file:"/volume1/Plex/Medien/Dokumentationen/Project Impossible/Staffel 1/Project Impossible S01E02 - Metropolen vor dem Untergang.mp4" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data 2020-10-26 19:22:03.813 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Process exited with code 0 2020-10-26 19:22:03.831 Info HttpClient: GET https://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=Project+Impossible&language=de 2020-10-26 19:22:03.836 Error HttpClient: Error getting response from https://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=Project+Impossible&language=de *** Error Report *** Version: 4.5.0.22 Command line: /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /volume1/Emby -ffdetect /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/bin/ffprobe -nolocalportconfig -updatepackage emby-server-synology_{version}_x86_64.spk Operating system: Linux version 4.4.59+ (root@build2) (gcc version 4.9.3 20150311 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG 1.20.0) ) #24922 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 12 13:02:11 CST 2020 Framework: .NET Core 3.1.7 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 4 Data path: /volume1/Emby Application path: /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/system System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Resource temporarily unavailable ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (11): Resource temporarily unavailable at System.Net.Http.ConnectHelper.ConnectAsync(String host, Int32 port, CancellationToken cancellationToken) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Http.ConnectHelper.ConnectAsync(String host, Int32 port, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionPool.ConnectAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, Boolean allowHttp2, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionPool.CreateHttp11ConnectionAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionPool.GetHttpConnectionAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionPool.SendWithRetryAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, Boolean doRequestAuth, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at System.Net.Http.RedirectHandler.SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at System.Net.Http.DecompressionHandler.SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at System.Net.Http.HttpClient.FinishSendAsyncUnbuffered(Task`1 sendTask, HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationTokenSource cts, Boolean disposeCts) at Emby.Server.Implementations.HttpClientManager.CoreHttpClientManager.SendAsyncInternal(HttpRequestOptions options, String httpMethod) Source: System.Net.Http TargetSite: Void MoveNext() InnerException: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Resource temporarily unavailable Source: System.Private.CoreLib TargetSite: Void Throw() at System.Net.Http.ConnectHelper.ConnectAsync(String host, Int32 port, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
