Emby still doesn't use the first picture as thumbnail in some cases

Recommended Posts

tried the 3.2.70.1.

 

Emby still doesn't use the first picture as thumbnail in some cases.

 

for example:

5a60490976284_3.jpg

 

5a6048f342652_1.jpg

 

 

 

Emby use the 3rd picture as thumbnail.

It's on our list for review, thanks.

 

 

I'm using 3.6.0.39 now.

 

I can see Emby made some changes but........ too aggressive.

 

Emby use the first item's primary as thumbnail but not the first picture now. 

 

For example, 

5b95281e0fc5b_A.jpg

 

5b9528299c780_B.jpg

 

Emby use the sub-folder's primary as parent-folder's thumbnail, it's very inconvenient in some folder structure.

 

And we can see the "_title01.jpg" and "_title02.jpg"  at the bottom. “_” Shouldn't be at the forefront?

I would check the sort titles for each of those. 

Hi, @@Luke.

 

I checked github everyday and tried every beta version,but we still get those problem.

is there any progress for this case?

What are the sort titles of each?

 

the default setting is sort by Folders, and I tried sort by Name and others sort mode,

they all have this problem.

Do any of those have sort titles defined?

No, I never defined sort titles by myself.  I have over 1500 manga in my Emby library. So I can't defined them one by one.

Hi, yes i can reproduce this and I apologize but it is due to the way the sqlite database sorts the names with underscore characters. is this one case that big of an issue?

emmm.....maybe it's not a big deal for most people.

 

But in my case, as I said, I have over 1500 manga in my Emby library.This sort problem really bothered me.

 

I will be very glad if you are willing to fix this sort problem and make Emby use the first picture as thumbnail but not the first  item's primary.Thanks

I was just asking in order to understand, thanks. I think we are going to need a sqlite collation in order to perform natural sorting. do you concur @@MikePlanet?

Yes, I think that should work. We have to carefully look, where indices are used, they have to match the collation, otherwise it would bring a significant performance penalty (or recreate them, they by default use the collation of the underlying table).

I'm very glad to see Emby finally fixed most my problem in 4.2.0.8

 

But this problem is still there,do we have a plan to fix this too? maybe sometimes in future?@@Luke

but Emby still use the sub-folder's primary as parent-folder's thumbnail.

I know I can upload  primary by myself, but as I said, I have over 1500 manga in my Emby library( over 2000 now), it will be a big big project.

Thanks for the feedback !

 

@@MikePlanet we have the sorting collations now.

@@Luke apologize  again....

But I found it doesn't really be fixed.

 

When I crated my library again, I really see the thumbnail works right,

but when I click "Refresh metadata", the thumbnail changed to the sub-folder's primary.

It seems like the thumbnails generated by the first scan are correct when creating new libraries or adding new files to libraries.
but there are still problems with the thumbnails generated by refreshing metadata.
