Issue with Recorded TV Library

[Sammy 739]

I'm not sure why but this is what I see for Recordings and RecordedTV. I get this same image when I have an Active Recording too. It is annoying!

 

I've rescanned the library and it remains the same. How to fix it?

 

Production Server 3.5.3.

This shouldn't happen anymore with the next release. Thanks.

Beta 3.6.0.80 seems pretty stable. Maybe I'll just switch now?

Only you can decide that.

This is still showing itself in Server 4.0.0.2. Is there a way to clear this out of the database? It is quite annoying.

First  you need to get that source image out of your library. It is probably set somewhere on a parent folder i assume.

[Sammy 739]

I cannot find this image in the root of my RecordedTV Folder.

 

This seems to be more of a database issue because every recording shows up as Hetalia for each individual series  for Shows and Siskel and Ebert for Movies.

 

[Luke 37230]

What is the folder structure?

[Sammy 739]

My Emby records to a folder labeled "R:\Recorded TV" for all recordings.

It will be there somewhere.  Look at it from the Explorer standpoint.

 

Curious.  If you look at Recordings from the Live TV view tab, how does it look from there?

I'm not seeing this Hetalia or Siskel and Ebert or this weird image anywhere in my recorded TV folder. Is it may be a hidden file someplace?

Is there something in the TVshows.nfo file that I can edit?

What program should I use to view it?

This obviously needs to be changed.

 

Should delete the contents and do a library scan?

I'm not sure how it got like this. Very odd indeed.

If it were me Sammy, I'd just nuke all the NFO files since this is only the Recording directory.  Or move everything out of your recording directory and then move them back in one or two at a time with a rescan to see where the problem comes back.

 

If this is happening to more than DVR recording then don't do this.

Every single recording in the library is infected. I only use the recording library to access recordings in progress until such time they're accessible from within the guide ( @@Luke , possible? ). Afterwards MCEBuddy processes and moves them to a different Folder called Emby Recordings which is not infected.

 

BTW, for whatever reason, MCEBuddy hasn't processed some of these recordings, most of which I could probably nuke anyhow so I might just nuke the whole folder and start over.

Did you look at this library with the Metadata editor to see if anything looks funny?

 

Yea, if you don't care about the current recordings in that directory just kill them all.  Make sure the folder is empty then setup something to record and see if this odd picture returns or not.

[Carlo 4331]

 4.1.0.2-beta

• Prevent movies from inheriting images from parent folders

 

That right there could have contributed to your problem.  So if you are going to nuke the library do the update as well.
