bigeyez 7 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi I think I am having some permission issues with Emby album arts (I do not use online stuff) after a migration. The library works but I cant get EMby to show album arts for musics, so I am thinking to recreate all that stuff. What is the proper way to do that while discarding old stuff? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigeyez 7 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi, why do you think you're having permission issues? Hi I had to change the user that runs emby, because I decided to run it under supervisor, it works. I also changed the user permissions in the /var/lib folder, but I am still missing the thumbnails.

bigeyez 7 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 empty spaces, or colored boxes? I think most of them are colored boxes, I have many media, trying to see what is going on. Colored boxes is mot prominent so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37094 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Have you tried using the identify feature on an album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Have you tried using the identify feature on an album? Well I do not know what that is to be honest but my issue is not just limited to the music, I have videos, mixed content folders etc. This was working fine befofre, so not sure how to handle all missing thumbnails. Also if the identify thing is an online feature, I would not use it because I do not rely on online databases for my albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Is there some kind of thumbnail database that I can wipe to recreate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37094 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Then where should the art come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Then where should the art come from? Not sure if I understand your qurstion, but I just want to recreate the thumbnails from scratch, delete the existing ones and recreate the database and the thumbnails. Does it sound like a bad method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 As far as I can tell mainly the videos are missing thumbnails at the moment, they have colored boxes instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37094 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Videos? I thought we were talking about music albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Videos? I thought we were talking about music albums? Not sure but I already stated this above. "Well I do not know what that is to be honest but my issue is not just limited to the music, I have videos, mixed content folders etc" Music: It looks like the music folder is only missing the main cover in the main library view. It is not creating a new cover, whatever I do. I sure can add a custom image but I want the way Emby originally does. VIdeos Most of the video folders are missing covers whether in the main library view or deep in one of the video subfolders, the videos themselves have cover images.

Luke 37094 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Did you check to make sure the image extractor is enabled for your video libraries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Well after you mentioned the extractor I thought about checking the logs just for that and I see lines like this. What do you think? Naturally this used to work I am on Version 3.6.0.2 beta Debian Testing x64 https://paste.debian.net/hidden/7a27c823/ Edited August 23, 2018 by bigeyez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37094 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Once in a while the image extraction will fail for certain files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Well the thing is that is not the issue I am having, it is not a once in a while, like I originally tried to explain I am missing folder covers for all videos and folder covers for music.

Luke 37094 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Ok, I would suggest trying again with the next release. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
