GreyBeard 22 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 A lot of my music is from vinyl albums I rip to flac files. (no need to start the vinyl sounds better argument, I just prefer the mastering used for vinyl) but as such there is a lot more artwork options that I would I believe benefit emby for future options such as screen savers and displayed artwork on playback. These options are all available through musicbrainz. (in fact I'll just paste their descriptions from https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Cover_Art/Types Some items are multiple such as poster and insert. FrontThe album cover, this is the front of the packaging of an audio recording (or in the case of a digital release the image associated with it in a digital media store). BackThe back of the package of an audio recording, this will often contain the track listing, barcode and copyright information. BookletA small book or group of pages inserted into the compact disc or DVD jewel case or the equivalent packaging for vinyl records and cassettes. Digital releases sometimes include a booklet in a digital file (usually PDF). Booklets often contain liner notes, song lyrics and/or photographs of the artist or band. MediumThe medium contains the audio recording. For a compact disc release it is the compact disc itself, for a vinyl release it is the vinyl disc itself, etc. TrayThe image behind or on the tray containing the medium. For jewel cases, this is usually printed on the other side of the piece of paper with the back image. ObiAn obi is a strip of paper around the spine (or occasionally one of the other edges of the packaging). SpineA spine is the edge of the package of an audio recording, it is often the only part visible when recordings are stacked or stored in a shelf. For compact discs the spine is usually part of the back cover scan, and should not be uploaded separately. TrackDigital releases sometimes have cover art associated with each individual track of a release (typically embedded in the .mp3 files), use this type for images associated with individual tracks. LinerA liner is a protective sleeve surrounding a medium (usually a vinyl record, but sometimes a CD), often printed with notes or images. StickerA sticker is an adhesive piece of paper, that is attached to the plastic film or enclosed inside the packaging. PosterA poster included with a release. May be the same size as the packaging or larger (in this case it would fold out). Such posters are often printed on the back of a fold-out booklet but are sometimes bundled separately. WatermarkA watermark is a piece of text or an image which is not part of the cover art but is added by the person who scanned the cover art. Images without any watermarks are preferred where possible - this type is useful in cases where either the only available image is watermarked, or where a better quality watermarked image is uploaded alongside a poorer quality non-watermarked image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyBeard 22 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Like any internet database populated by the general public, it varies from album to album. some examples, https://musicbrainz.org/release/c22f37fe-42e5-499b-ad59-75080a037896/cover-art Just has front, rear, and two medium, but that's only because that's all that is applicable. https://musicbrainz.org/release/0e087f47-a6fb-4f49-98c1-ce62f6cb6ce2/cover-art includes obi and linershttps://musicbrainz.org/release/b84ee12a-09ef-421b-82de-0441a926375b/cover-art adds posters. This is all info that I already pull using picard but it would be nice to have emby recognize them even if it's currently not using it.
