Emby server not creating, or populating extrafanart or extrathumbs folders

[Mungo 0]

Ok, I'm officially crumbling and asking for help. I for the life of me, can't find where I can now configure extrafanart and backdrop settings.

 

I've read all the posts saying these have been shifted to the individual library sections, which I had already noticed a lot of settings disappeared to, but there's nothing like there was before in regard to amount of backdrops to save and quality etc.

 

My issue is that Emby is not creating an extrafanart or extrathumbs folder, or if already there, not populating them during scraping a movie.

 

I use to pre-scrape my movies with 3rd party software, which generated these folders, but the filenames were garbage instead of "fanart1.jpg" etc. so I cleaned them out, leaving the empty folders there and when moving the movie onto my NAS where emby could see it - it would generate fanart as I had configured.

 

Now I'm finding that even if I manually create these folders, emby still doesn't populate any images. Currently running version 3.4.1.0.

 

I've also read that some things are create or generated, "as required", so as to not hammer the provider sites, however I only use emby server as a fancy GUI for metadata scraping and management. It's completely standalone when it comes to any front-end player, so even if I load up my movie in Kodi, emby doesn't know it's been accessed to potentially initiate the grab for more art...

 

I've just managed to get it to create these folders, and to do so I've had to drill into the movie via the library, bring up "edit images", search for more and manually download 1. It then created both folders and put the fanart image in there.

 

...lil' help?

 

Cheers,

Hi.  Be sure you turn on the "Advanced Options" at the top of the form and then click either the gear icon or button that says "Image Fetcher Settings" (depending on the version of your server).

 

Please let us know if this helps.

Ebr is correct. The default limit is 1 so you need to increase that if desired.

See, now I knew when I had to ask for help that it'd end up being something simple, and I knew I'd look like a blind idiot when the answer came out, but ya know what - don't care 'cause now I have my beloved folders and art and it's 1 less thing I have to pull the remaining of my hair out over 

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the assist! Those little toggle sliders can get the best of us sometimes!

 

Cheers,
