DrQuinn69 3 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 All, I read over the documentation for naming movies/artwork and only saw an example for naming multi part movies but did not see anything for naming artwork for multi part movies. Apologies in advance if I missed it, I'm old. Example for naming multi part movies: \Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd1.mkv \Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd2.mkv I typically only have one Primary file for multipart movies: \Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009).jpg Am I supposed to have separate .jpg files for each part? \Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd1.jpg \Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd2.jpg Thank you for your help and again, apologies if I missed it.

jaycedk 399 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Not sure ! But try \Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-poster.jpg or \Movies\Avatar (2009)\poster.jpg That might show the poster for both files.

DrQuinn69 3 Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Jaycedk, Thank you, will give it a try. Have a bunch of files like this that aren't working out so was hoping the developers would advise before I make all the changes. Take care.

DrQuinn69 3 Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 No luck Luke - can't seem to get this to work. The media type is Movies and when I add media Emby creates a screenshot and uses that image as the poster rather than using the "Movie Name (2023)-poster.jpg" image that already exists. I tested using the following file names: All files in one folder, Movie Name (2023): Movie Name (2023).nfo Movie Name (2023)-fanart.jpg Movie Name (2023)-poster.jpg Movie Name (2023)-pt1.mp4 Movie Name (2023)-pt2.mp4 Movie Name (2023)-pt3.mp4 I also tried the following which did not work: Movie Name (2023).nfo Movie Name (2023)-pt1-fanart.jpg Movie Name (2023)-pt1-poster.jpg Movie Name (2023)-pt1.mp4 Movie Name (2023)-pt2.mp4 Movie Name (2023)-pt3.mp4 Has anyone else ever run into this before?

Luke 37260 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Try just Movie Name (2023).jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrQuinn69 3 Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Just tried your suggestion Luke. When I refresh Metadata (Replace all Metadata and check beside replace existing images I get a black "default" image, aka no image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrQuinn69 3 Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Luke, I found something that works. I haven't tested the fanart/backdrop file yet. If I use the following naming: Movie Name (2023).nfo Movie Name (2023)-fanart.jpg Movie Name (2023)-Disc 1.jpg Movie Name (2023)-Disc 1.mp4 Movie Name (2023)-Disc 2.mp4 Movie Name (2023)-Disc 3.mp4 Seems to be an issue with using "pt1" vs "Disc 1" for some reason. Thank goodness for FileRenamerTurbo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
