davesurfer 14 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Just upgraded from MB2 to MBC. I stored my actors images in a folder called MediaBrowserData/ImagesByName/People and put it on a separate drive for easier backup and management. Where is the new location for this? When I load MBC all the actor's images are not there. I modified the MediaBrowserXml.config file last time but there is no config file any more. Or where is it? Thanks!

techywarrior 688 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Go to the web client, go to settings, Advanced. Then click on the Paths tab. All the customizable locations are there. You can then point the IBN path to the one you have created. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesurfer 14 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 You are awesome! Thanks! Ok, do I select the "ImagesByName" folder or the "ImagesByName\People" folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I believe the ImagesByName folder since the path is for the entire IBN folder. But I use the default locations so I don't know 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that makes sense, but I've tried both paths and they actors images don't show up. Does this take time, refresh somehow? I've closed and re-opened MBC a few times.

techywarrior 688 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 May need to get a response from Ebr or someone else who uses a custom IBN location. First thing I would try would be to go to the web client, Click Scheduled Tasks and then click the little "play" button on the Refresh People task.

Hey I didn't see that option, I did but it still doesn't display them in MBC. I could always move them to the new default location, where is the IBN folder stored by default?

davesurfer 14 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) \Users\{user-name}\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ImagesByName Accck! Ok, thanks. But I see why when I pointed to my old folders it didn't work. Now the new IBN People folder has individual folders for each letter of the alphabet instead of just having the actor's in their own folders. Crap, I'm going to have to sort through and move them into their own letters. Edited May 18, 2014 by davesurfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, crazy, I guess the old folder had A, B, C etc. folders as well, but I had actor's folders outside of those folders, just in the root. I guess that's what MetaBrowser did.

davesurfer 14 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Looks like I'll have to move each of them into their corresponding alphabet folders for MBC to see them. Now I have to figure out how to tell Metabrowser to change where it saves the actor's photos... LOL looks like I'm answering my own questions. I just select the "Enable people prefix sub folders (Media Browser 3) option in MediaBrowser Options in MetaBrowser settings.

Metabrowser - Settings > Movies > Savers > Media Browser Saver (cog icon) > General - then tick "Enable people prefix sub folders". You can then click the "Convert" button which should move the people folders into the letter folders for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a useful button that convert, I should've looked back here first to see your response before manually moving the actors folders into the alphabet folders LOL! phew.
