majorsl 20 Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 I have folders with multiple movie versions in them, mostly 1080p and 4K versions. How does Cover Art choose which overlay to use? I see that most of them have the "BluRay" overlay and just a few have the "4K" overlay. I'd like to display the "highest" version available as the overlay. Thanks!
ebr 15670 Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 It gets this information from the server and, right now, I think which version is somewhat undefined.
Happy2Play 9445 Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 To me it looks like CA uses what version the nfo is created for. So currently the only way around this is applying tags "ca-uhd". Haven't tested what manual grouping displays though.
Luke 40105 Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Ebr is correct. When you group versions, currently it is fairly arbitrary as far as which version becomes the primary display version. This is something that we'll need to review in the future. Thanks.
majorsl 20 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Posted December 28, 2018 Thanks for the replies! Given this, I've gone with creating a separate Library for 4K UHD movies. This solves the issue I posted here and another - that UHD looks awful on our standard def TVs - at least until some form of tone mapping happens in the future.
Waffull 2 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Hi, Was wondering whether there has been any update on this? Currently CA is displaying the SD cover when I have both SD and HD versions. Emby: 4.3.1.0 on QNAP CA: 4.1.8 Thanks, Marc
Luke 40105 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Not yet, but it's possible for the future. Thanks.

Solution ebr 15670 Posted January 24, 2020 Solution Posted January 24, 2020 Would anyone care to test out this version of CoverArt with multi-version movies? [added to catalog as 4.1.9]
ebr 15670 Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Anyone...? If no one is interested, we won't spend time on it.
Spaceboy 2565 Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) I can, what’s it going to do? Ok I see, I’ll try it out tonight Edited January 27, 2020 by Spaceboy
majorsl 20 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 I will, since I asked, obviously. I’m in the middle of a home automation project right now, but will give it a go in a couple of days. 1
majorsl 20 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 I'm running Emby on my Synology (native, not w/Docker). Where about would I manually install the plugin? I've on ever used the catalog. I can ssh in and likely will have to move it and overwrite the existing one, just not sure where they get stored.... I'll continue to poke around.
Spaceboy 2565 Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 yep, it consistently shows the cover associated with the highest resolution version of the movie
ebr 15670 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 yep, it consistently shows the cover associated with the highest resolution version of the movie Did you also notice it places an indicator on the cover? Does that look okay?
Spaceboy 2565 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I did notice, 2 overlaid squares in the top right of the cover? Looks good to me
Waffull 2 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Installed the beta.. CA is now consistently displaying the cover for highest resolution available on the server now. woohoo. Thank you and GREAT job!

doug.dimick 13 Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Just installed the beta, thank you for your time on this. It is showing the correct (highest-resolution) cover for me now. However, while the multi-version indicator is working, it is being hidden under the watched indicator. Any thought of a treatment where it shows something like stacked covers instead?
NanPatterson 2 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Thank you all very, very much. This has been driving me insane for a few months trying to find a way to force it to pick the highest resolution in my multi-version sets. Updated to latest plug-in and it was exactly what I was wanting. Thanks again.
majorsl 20 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 I want to 2nd the appreciation. Thank you very much. I was able to consolidate my two libraries of standard vs UHD movies back to one. You can tell at a glance if there is a 4K in the list and you know to pick a version for the device you're on thanks to the way Emby handles multiple versions. You guys rock.
