e123enitan 236 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 the config.ini contains your licence key so as long as you have extracted the exe and dont move it, it should refer to the same ini and work fine. if you can't pick the path via the folder selector dialog, just edit the config.ini section below or create it.

Dodgy Bob 45 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hey Radeon, In light of Happy2Play's 2 posts below... With the changes to Emby, not creating empty People named folders anymore, this plugin has been depreciated. It does work for the folders that contain metadata and no images, if a online image exits. The plugin is looking for empty people folders to get images for. Since Emby no longer creates empty folders during its scans there is nothing for this plugin to attempt to download. ...will your app do anything for my collection? My Emby setup was done from scratch only just recently, so there are no legacy folders and/or local references to ye olde MediaBrowser. Does your app perchance simply auto download all IBN people or have toggle options to download specific IBN people types? i.e. only actors -or- only actors and directors -or- some other combination, etc. Thanks, Dodgy Bob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radeon 677 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hey @@Dodgy Bob, I'm not really sure how it's Happy2Plays place to use the words depreciated on an app he hasn't had nor has any involvement in writing. It's not in the official emby catalog and he doesn't have any direct involvement in my projects to pass such comments. I can't speak for others but I just checked my people directory and I'm still getting the blank folders generated and my app is the only thing filling them with images. If emby has or does stop generating the empty folders then I can move to other methods to get them anyway. At the moment, the app literally scans your Metadata\People directory for folders missing images and uses that folder name (the name of the person) to go get one if available from imdb so it doesn't know what "type" it's looking for. I hope that helps! :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Bob 45 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Schweeet! That works for me I was after some clarification is all and that pretty much sums it up. Thanks heaps @@radeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8239 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) No offense intended but as a paid customer not sure how this can be different across the board but none of my three servers generate empty people folders, folder are only created if there is metadata or images. So if I have no empty folders how can I get images for missing actors? Here is a specific example no folder created for "Stan Roth" so no image can be created, if I create or if folder is created with metadata then IMDB IBN People Downloader can pull image. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0745027/ Edited February 24, 2016 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Bob 45 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Ahhh, I see what @@Happy2Play is saying now @@radeon... I just went and had a look at my directory structure and this is all I've got: That's it completely expanded out My install of Emby Server on Windows is not that old - like, maybe 3 to 6 months - and thus its not an upgrade from MediaBrowser either (if that has anything to do with anything!). I guess that explains why when I first fired up the app, it ran for a total of 10secs and then closed (see log below)! 2016-02-25 22:03:21 : 2.0.0.7 2016-02-25 22:04:25 : Generating Persons Name List Please Wait... 2016-02-25 22:04:25 : Searching for empty folders 2016-02-25 22:04:25 : Complete.............................. 2016-02-25 22:04:25 : Starting Downloads.............................. 2016-02-25 22:04:30 : Sleeping for: 1000ms 2016-02-25 22:04:31 : 0 of -1 - - Level 1: No Image Available 2016-02-25 22:04:31 : -------------------------------------------------------- 2016-02-25 22:04:31 : Process Complete 2016-02-25 22:04:31 : -------------------------------------------------------- 2016-02-25 22:04:31 : 0 directories checked for missing images 2016-02-25 22:04:31 : 1 images searched for 2016-02-25 22:04:31 : 0 images downloaded Thing is though, if I pop into the web client and bring up a movie, I do have some people images already loaded - from somewhere? Is it likely that a new path to the, or an alternate, ImagesByName directory needs to be set in your app now for newer versions of Emby? Kind regards, Dodgy Bob.

You need to be in the directory above the People directory and as long as that people directory is generate the folders like in windows then you should be fine.
