OliverGrace 1 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Currently I mount a google drive which has .info and video files included. On one server everything works fine. However, when I am trying to deploy emby to a new server, the paths of people images in the .info files on google drive are still being used(.info files are actually what I need). The problem is that the path in the .info file does not exit in the new server, which results in people images not showing up. And the emby server is not searching for image replacement online even though the image path does not exist. Now none of the people image show up and the image path never gets updated. Any way to update the non-exist path and make emby download the images again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hi, try refreshing the metadata on the movie or tv series containing the person and see if that is able to pull in new images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked the refresh metdata button with "replace current image" selected but nothing changes. The people image only shows up when I click the person for refreshing metadata one by one(which theoretically will cost me tons of time to refresh all of them). And I can't use the refresh people task to refresh because current latest version removed that task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1251 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 What are .info files? If you mean nfo files, Emby doesn't read image paths from nfo files so there must be some other problem. What do you mean by deploy Emby to a new server? Copy the old installation to a new Server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i mean .nfo files. Deploy to new server means I copy the media library files (including the whole movie folder structure and .nfo .jpg(poster) .ass(subtitles)) to a new server.

OliverGrace 1 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) I unchecked all the settings except for the folllowing two(because i use the other server to get metadata and upload to google drive). I use the .nfo files and poster files directly. Edited July 21, 2021 by OliverGrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodainas 188 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Enable movie metadata downloader, themoviedb for example, then select an actor do a refresh/replace images to it. If it works you can do it globally, if you use nfos as you said be sure to have metadata reader nfos enabled.

Thank you so much! It is working! But characters whose names are in other languages still won't get images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodainas 188 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Remember, you are just searching the provider listed there, if the provider doesn’t have metadata/images it will be an empty field for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodainas 188 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Also remember to leave enabled metadata reader nfo, if not the case, to be sure the metadata for movied per se is acquired by your nfos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Right, if you don't enable internet fetchers, then that explains why you won't get any images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
