Issue with Collection Cover (Primary) When Some Media Are Unavailable

[xfcc15 0]

Hello Admin,

 

I am currently experiencing an issue with collection covers (Primary) in my Emby library.

I have manually created some collections, and Emby automatically generates a cover image by combining artwork from multiple movies within the collection. This feature works well and looks great.

However, my media files are stored across multiple hard drives, and due to hardware limitations, not all drives are available at all times. When a movie used in the automatically generated collection cover is located on an unavailable drive, the collection cover (Primary) fails to display properly, as shown in the attached screenshot.

 

I would like to suggest adding a manual “Regenerate Cover” button for collections. This feature could refresh the currently available media and generate a new cover based on the accessible files.

I hope my explanation is clear, but please feel free to ask if you need any clarification.

 

Thank you very much.

Hi, I think the best thing to do is to enable the library option to save a cached copy of images in the server data folder. This will allow the images to be sourced from there so that they’re displayed even when the drive is unavailable.

 Please let us know is this helps. Thanks.
