LuoBen 1 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Hello, there is a question I would like to ask. My media files are on the external hard drive. When I unplug the hard drive after setting up the media library, the images in the media library will not be displayed again. Although the temp image in cacha will be automatically cleared, the image in the images folder is still there, but it does not seem to be displayed in the media library. Is it what I missed? Thanks answer Edited February 20, 2019 by LuoBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37253 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi, we don't make a copy of your images in the server's cache directory. We do keep a cache of resized thumbnails for clients, but what was probably happening was a client was requesting a thumbnail size that wasn't already in the cache.

Hi，yes，I find the images in “cache\images\resized-images”，is in wepb format，is it？The thumbnail cache disappears every time I unplug my hard drive, it seems that its path points to my mobile hard drive instead of the cache.What should I do, I tried to re-establish the media library, but...

Luke 37253 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Probably because the apps are requesting something that is not already in the cache. There are open requests already to maintain full copies of images in the cache. @@AdrianW can link to his and you can lend your support there. Thanks.

Thank you Luke, there is still a problem, I want to install some plugins, but in the directory of the plugin has been circled, probably because I am in China? But I have a VPN, I can access Google and YouTube...so I want to ask if there is any other way to install the plugin, like the offline package Edited February 20, 2019 by LuoBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37253 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yea the VPN is probably the reason. We don't currently have offline downloads for the plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1053 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Here's my feature request to Preemptively cache images. Although, so far, it hasn't got much support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ten mobile hard disks to store my video, but I found that when I built the media library and pulled out the hard disk, all the cached images are not displayed. I found out in "cache\images\resized-images" The cached images are created, but they are not displayed on the server, so what is the use of these caches? I tried to add a cover image to the video, then found them in "metadata\library", they are displayed normally when the hard drive is removed, but I have more than 4,000 videos, I can't add them one by one. . . All of my videos can't find information on IMDB, but the folder has a corresponding cover image, background image and NFO. EMBY is the best, it can easily recognize these and display, PLEX will only take pictures from the video, and does not load the existing cover image, but it will always exist, even if you remove the hard drive. I don't know if this request is difficult. Can we add an option to create a cover and background image for the local media when I create a new media library? Maybe it will take up more storage space and scan time, but we can give it to User selection. Or call a cache of resized thumbnails for clients in "cache\images\resized-images", I don't know if it takes up hard disk space but it doesn't work. . . Thanks for your time Edited February 22, 2019 by LuoBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an existing feature request topic for this: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/57696-preemptively-cache-images/ Please lend your support there. Thanks.
