Podcast Plugin how to change images for all podcast

[xbmcgotham 32]

Hi,

 

Was wondering what options are available to change the backdrop and primary picture for all podcasts episodes in one go instead of having to change them one by one (200 podcast episode to edit).

 

And is it also possible to have a different podcast cover image for the main podcast menu?

 

So: podcast menu > Podcast A (with a cover picture, different than the episodes) > Podcast episodes (with all the same primary and backdrop image but different than Podcast A)

 

 

Is this possible in menu config or by adding some lines of code to the RSS feed?

 

Thanks for the tip.

Hi, it supports standard rss images, so the best thing to do is update your rss.

[xbmcgotham 32]

@@Luke That is great to hear. Just to verify. Does emby use the same RSS feed coding/scraping for cover and episode images as iTunes does? Sample with ---> below.

 

And how would I easily add the same backdrop image to all episodes?

yes itunes.

[xbmcgotham 32]

Thanks.

 

And how would I easily add the same backdrop image to all episodes? Have you a specific RSS feed parameter that you use?

[Luke 37175]

I guess you will need to edit your rss xml. i would search around for rss itunes examples. like for instance:

[xbmcgotham 32]

I am more looking for how emby is scraping the backdrop image. This is not something iTunes RSS feed uses. It only allows for an image to be added to the channel and episode image. Not the emby backdrop image.

 

I just like to know how to add the same backdrop image to all podcast episodes without having to upload 200x the backdrop image to the 200 episodes in the podcast. :-)

[Luke 37175]

for podcasts we don't do any internet metadata, so the only option is manual image editing.

[xbmcgotham 32]

And their is no way I could add a backdrop to 1 podcast episode and somehow copy it to all? (front or backend?)

[Luke 37175]

if you want to use the same image then try assigning it to the channel itself.

[xbmcgotham 32]

Ok, I will do that, thanks again

Hi,

I updated my openSuse emby-server to version 3.2.70.0. Since then I can't update my user statistics (emby statistics 2.0.2.0). I get an error:

"Could not resolve type with token 01000069 (from typeref, class/assembly MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.IHasUserData, MediaBrowser.Controller, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null)"
