Different posters are used when filtering by container type

It appears that, when you select a custom poster for a movie, Emby only associates it with the first version in the folder.  If you later add another version under the same movie, it gets the default Emby-selected poster.  You can see this when filtering by container type.  To reproduce, start with a folder that contains an MKV version of the movie.  Then select the custom poster.  Now, add a WEBM (or presumably any other format) version of the movie.  Now, filter on container->WEBM.  The movie will be shown with the default, Emby-selected poster.

If you go to the main movie entry and try to set the primary image again (expecting that perhaps Emby will then apply the image to both files), it still uses the default image for the WEBM version.

If you filter on WEBM, then click on the movie and set the primary image, it will then use the poster you select.

Maybe this is the intended behavior, but it would make more sense to me if every version of the same movie used the same poster.

Obviously, this isn't a big deal, but if you have a few different quality versions of every movie and a few thousand movies, it would be a big job to get them all using the same poster.

Hi, right now this is just the way multi-version works because they are each their own unique items, but simply grouped together. We are continuing to work on improving this. Thanks for the feedback.
