PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Happy When for example a movie does not have a "thumb" the first backdrop appears to be used and does not have the frame you may have chosen to go around it Captain summit Riddick Ghost rider Is it a setting i missed? Emby does not call cover art to apply the frame because no thumb file exists? ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You aren't missing anything, CA will not treat backdrops, only poster.ext/folder.ext and thumb.ext/landscape.ext. Because those are the expected images in those views.

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 ok fine not a major issue just trying to understand hmm interesting that the plugin looks for the files itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37131 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Yea we don't currently tell cover art what the context is, so it doesn't know that the backdrop is being used in place of a thumb. Ideally I suppose we would do that, although the cost of processing really large backdrop images would be painful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) i would vote for leave as is its easy enough to create or find a image to make the thumb - as i only have few - was checking to see whats what Just a thought if you did have a large number of missing thumbs etc - could the coverart be run as a scheduled task to pick up those changes - sort of a once a month thing? Might help on low power servers? Edited October 13, 2016 by PenkethBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14939 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 What you really want is something that would automatically generate missing thumbs for you. A while back I think (maybe @chef) was trying to create just such a plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Yes thats an option as well - if its cpu/memory intensive processes that is the concern then some sort of batch/schedule run should cover that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
