chowbok 74 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Since with a lot of movies a chapter start corresponds with a fade-in, many chapter images are just plain black squares. It seems like a simple way to fix this would be to grab the chapter image from the chapter timestamp + 5 seconds or so. Is this something that seems feasible? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 how many seconds of black does your video have between chapters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbok 74 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Well, it's not just one video this is happening with. Older movies used fade-ins a lot. I tested from a few different movies, and it seems to be 3-4 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstamas 153 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Just started playing with chapter images myself and I’m seeing the same thing with TV shows. Episodes that have actual, designated chapter marks that Emby is honoring usually occur when the show is coming back from where a commercial used to live so there is a fade in from black. Most of my chapter images are capturing this black screen. Example attached. I thing a 1-2 second offset would solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Strange. We actually already use a filter to try and avoid black images on chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbok 74 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Strange. We actually already use a filter to try and avoid black images on chapters. Really? I didn't realize that. It's not working for me, at least not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowbok 74 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Too late to revive this thread? I have a good example file of what I was talking about, let me know if you'd still like to look at it and I'll put it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Do you extract art chapters or the 10 second intervals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbok 74 Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 At chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 OK, there is currently no option for this, but this idea has come up before and is possible for future updates. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmer 2 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Would love this feature as well. NCIS is a great example of this issue. Pulling images at the chapter markers always results in a black screen (except for the first chapter): A library level (and perhaps a TV show level override) of chapter mark + "X seconds" (and could accept + or - values).
