I can not put backdrops on my own, I'm probably doing something wrong. I put in the backdrops folder a background file with the name "backdrops.jpg". For some reason it does not change the background for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roaku 792 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just now, CAPRICORNX10X said: Yes, each movie with its own folder Try moving the image out of the 'backdrops' folder and into the main movie folder.

Luke 37007 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 There's no such thing as a backdrops folder for images. I would compare your file naming to the guide linked above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 This is how the folder is organized. The logo and poster appear correctly. As you can see only the background does not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) I think emby has a hard to choosing which background to put from the folder the or the defulat from the tmdb site Edited July 22, 2022 by CAPRICORNX10X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3269 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 As far as I know, if you have multiple backdrops, they should rotate/cycle every 30 secs or so; why don't you just delete that extra fanart.jpg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 The fanart you see is not in my local folder. emby take it from tmdb. And when I put in my local folder file as a backdrop emby do not select it over the fanart. This is what I understood ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37007 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Probably it was already downloaded and then you added a local one. Try using the image editor to delete the one you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Where was it downloaded? I have no other backdrop file in the folder other than what I put ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
