Ian-Highlander 145 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Just upgraded to 3.0.8000.0 and suddenly my home page "My Media" icons at the top of the screen are using the "primary" image instead of previously using the "thumb". Is this deliberate? Can it be put back please or at least give us the choice (or am I missing the option somewhere?).

Happy2Play 8242 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I still see thumb/landscape presentation. I wonder if this another "region" mixup. Edited October 13, 2016 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-Highlander 145 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Definitely isn't on mine, I've tried multiple browsers from three different machines as different users. I have the portrait images set as "primary" and landscape set as "thumb" and always have primarily because that's how WMC uses them. Nothing changed other than I updated to the latest release yesterday at which point it changed from using the thumb by default to primary. I can live with it, because I rarely use the web interface but it will niggle a bit when I do if this is a deliberate change. Strange that you're not seeing it though, perhaps @@ebr or @@Luke could confirm one way or the other please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 do you have both landscape and portrait images associated with you library metadata? i dont see it either like Happy but i only have a landscape primary and one backdrop also landscape?

Ian-Highlander 145 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 I have both set on all libraries, because EMC looks WAYYY better with portrait images than thumb images for the categories and the web app looks better with thumb rather than portrait and up until this last update they both just used the appropriate (to my mind) one automatically. No doubt if I remove the "primary" portrait ones the webapp would then display the thumbs again but I care more about what EMC looks like than the webapp. Just curious as to why it's changed after all this time.

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 WMC rather than EMC i guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-Highlander 145 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) WMC rather than EMC i guess? EMC Emby for Media Center as it's not WMC itself but Emby within WMC that we're talking about. Edited October 14, 2016 by Ian-Highlander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 What's happening is historically the server has auto-generated both primary and thumb collages. But users who want to customize their own images just click on the first option available, which means they end up customizing thumb, then wondering why some apps are using it and some are not. For the top level libraries we have always advised 16 * 9 so in order to simplfy this, I updated the server to stop generated the thumb version, since it was a duplicate anyway, and then i updated the UI to stop checking for a thumb.

Ian-Highlander 145 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 At least that answers the question, I guess my situation is less common these days using custom images and EMC as a client. It's a shame though as the portrait images look massively better on EMC as the the area for them (in chocolate at least) is more sized for a portrait image than a landscape one. But the web app just looks empty using portrait images. Doesn't massively affect me as I say as I rarely use the web app anyway for much and EMC still looks fine thankfully, does seem a little bit of a strange decision though as it's removed some of the flexibility of it. Still, it's your product, you can do with it as you will, thanks for the answer and clearing up that I wasn't going insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyXH 70 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I just leave the default metadate before a scan is run and then shows the below. Once I hit delete I get the default icons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8242 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 @andreaxheli Sorry no there is no way to maintain default images/disable dynamic images. You would have to add your own custom images. But there are other options in that section of the forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
