Library Icons not Updating/Blank

[christracey 3]

Hi,

I upgraded my DSM to version 7, and upgraded emby to the latest version also. I didn't follow the instructions on this forum, so I had to rebuild everything.

Now, everything is working EXCEPT the library icons are not picking up images from my library. Artwork for everything else is updating perfectly, I just can't figure this out. I've tried scanning loads of times, refreshing metadata loads of times - both with and without replacing images - restarting the emby service, rebooting the NAS...

EDIT: I should add that I did all this over a month ago - I've read on here that the icon building can take some time, but over a month?

Any ideas? Log attached.

Cheers

Don't think it is related but you need to apply the inotify patch as both libraries show this.

System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (8192) on the number of inotify watches has been reached, or the operating system failed to allocate a required resource.

Hi, I actually did that about an hour ago when trying to solve this issue! I even rebooted afterwards.

Are there any library settings pertaining to metadata readers that could be the cause? I have most if not all of them turned off as I manage my own metadata and artwork manually.

It shouldn't, I have all image fetchers in all libraries disabled and still get auto-created Library icons (which are occasionally auro-refreshed).

As a workaround, you might go with some icon pack from Fan Art & Videos forum section, some really nice images there.

Thanks Grim, but I really like the generated icons and would like very much to get them back

OMG it's working! Could have been the inotify patch, not sure but very happy!

Thanks for chiming in guys
