bcm00re 18 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Any updates -- the last one was in January. If 4.8 has come out since then my server must be stuck on 4.7 (as I am still on 4.7.14.0) currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1534 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 4.7.14 was more recent than January. Anyway, 4.8 is still in beta, and is not imminent yet as work on implementing the redesign of the login system following the security incident in the spring is not yet complete (it requires all clients to be updated as well).

stesie 0 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Same happens to my video files. All videoas added in the past couple days not getting a thumbnail. I suppose it is in context of the automatic server update (to v4.8.0.80) that happend to my installation 4 days ago.

Happy2Play 8304 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Have you verified library setting for Image capture?

Happy2Play 8304 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Yep sounds like there may have been an issue in the upgrade possibly resetting this library option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Yea I would review your library options and ensure that Image Capture is enabled. If it wasn't, then enable it and refresh the metadata on impacted items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdeasMan 1 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) I also had the same problem after the update and fixed it by turning on the Image Capture fetcher under Episode Image Fetchers. That fixed the missing image for my recorded TV, however, the image capture process is now inherently dumb. Previously, the thumbnail would choose a random image after a certain delay within the video file (typically a few minutes, say 4-6). This meant if your recording had a pre-recording buffer of say two minutes, the thumbnail would often be of the show you're recording. Now it appears to be the first few seconds. This is completely pointless as if you have a pre-recording buffer then it's completely wrong. If you don't then it's highly unlikely to be a frame from the recorded show or anything which aids in identifying it at-a-glance. I've attached two examples. The first shows the new behaviour in v4.8 where it's capturing either the show immediately preceding the news or an ad before the news (both recorded with a two minute buffer). Thus, they're useless. The second image shows thumbnails generated by Emby v4.7 for TV recordings where it was generating the thumbnails a few minutes after the start. As you can see, they're all noticeably news footage and thus the thumbnails are useful. Edited February 7 by IdeasMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softworkz 3341 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 @IdeasMan- What's your setting for thumbnail extraction? In case it's set to 10 seconds - does it make a difference when you change it to "Chaper Markers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdeasMan 1 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 G'day @softworkz, It was configured for 10 seconds (as it was in v4.7). I changed it to Chapter markers as you requested and it's the same result for the video thumbnail, albeit, much worse overall. Before when I had it set to 10 seconds, every five minutes I had images for the auto-generated chapters. Now they all show the same thing. Furthermore, the seek image on the timeline is missing. When I changed it back to every 10 seconds, my seek image returned on the timeline, my chapter images were restored but the thumbnail is still at timestamp 0:00. I even deleted the generated thumbnail image for the recording then told Emby to refresh the metadata; same image generated. (Ignore the missing thumbnails for the first two episodes under More from Season 1; I have explicitly disabled image capture to help identify files missing them while this bug remains) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3341 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 @IdeasMan- thanks for trying! @Lukehas found something and we're investigating now to provide a fix as soon as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
