"Save artwork into media folders" doesn't store artworks

[ignazioc 3]

I have a collection of home video and I always used the "Folder" visualisation.

The library is configured to "Save artwork into media folders" but despite this check, any changes to the metadata or to the primary image are not stored into the media folders, but still into the /metadata/library folder.

 

Is there anything I can check in order to make it work?

 

thanks.

Hi there, let's look at a specific example:

How to Report a Problem

And I think we'll see that Emby Server is being denied write access to your media folders, which you'll need to resolve. Thanks.

Thanks, I fixed the permissions and now I see the "poster.png" stored in the right place, but I still cannot see the nfo file for the metadata.

Here are the details of my setup:

Emby version: Version 4.7.14.0

docker-compose
```
emby:
    image: emby/embyserver:latest
    environment:
      - UID=${PUID}
      - GID=${PGID}
    volumes:
      - "${VOLUMES_HOME}/emby:/config"
      - "/media/d2/video/courses/it_courses:/data/it_courses"
    restart: unless-stopped
```

A library is configured as "Home Video and Photos" + 

* Enable real time monitoring

* Metadata Readers  -  Nfo

* Metadata Savers - Nfo

* Save artwork into media folders

I can change the poster image and it's indeed stored inside the media folder.

 

But the same doesn't happen when I try to change the metadata. The metadata are saved, but not in the *nfo file.

Note: I change the metadata for the **folder**, if I change the metadata for a single media file I see the nfo.

Folders don’t get nfo files. Try editing on the video not the folder. So drill down a level

oh too bad. 

I assumed that considering that folders have metadata and images, it would also possibile to store the metadata into nfo

Did you try doing this on the video?
