computerprep 142 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 This isn't affecting movies (so far), and I've taken as close look at my library metadata settings to see if that's the cause. But when I'm identifying a series that was mis-identified, it only seems to pull in banner artwork and present it in poster aspect ratio for identification. It's been a while since I've had to manually identify a series, but this has only happened since the 4.0 update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37057 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hi, yes that's because the tvdb images are banner aspect ratio and the identify feature is not currently accounting for that. it's something we can look at addressing in a future update. thanks.

computerprep 142 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 It used to populate with the poster image. If I remember correctly, it used to populate two or more correct matches. One would be a stretched banner, but the other would be the poster. Either way, thanks for looking at it down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37057 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Right and those one or two extras would cause confusion, so they are gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1559 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just a little reminder. For The Magicians (which does show posters on the website)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Just a little reminder. For The Magicians (which does show posters on the website)... But their API returns \graphical\ instead of \poster\ images. Just like their web site \graphical\ is a Banner image. <Series> <seriesid>299139</seriesid> <language>en</language> <SeriesName>The Magicians (2015)</SeriesName> <AliasNames>The Magicians (2016)</AliasNames> <banner>graphical/299139-g3.jpg</banner> <Overview> Quentin, a brilliant grad student is chosen to attend Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, a secret upstate New York university specializing in magic.

arrbee99 1559 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 No idea what that means, except shouldn't posters be retrieved ? Or does that mean posters can't be retrieved ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) No idea what that means, except shouldn't posters be retrieved ? Or does that mean posters can't be retrieved ? Their API is give us a image from there "graphical" folder instead of their "poster" folder. And Emby is putting that banner in a poster place holder. <banner>graphical/299139-g3.jpg</banner> Edited February 12, 2019 by Happy2Play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerprep 142 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Maybe this will help provide a quicker solution... just discovered that if I do a television series identification with ONLY the IMDb ID, it pulls the proper poster image. Of course, at that point it's pointless because there's only one image since you absolutely identified the show, but it pulls the correct poster and dipslays it in proper aspect ratio in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, at that point it's pointless because there's only one image since you absolutely identified the show, but it pulls the correct poster and dipslays it in proper aspect ratio in this case. But that assumes the source you are getting using IMDBid tracks the series the same way. As there are cases where each provider can track a Series differently (different episode numbers). But the majority of the time they should match. Edited February 19, 2019 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37057 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 That is because it's coming from a different metadata provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
