markand Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I'm migrating my Emby setup from a Mac Pro to a QNAP NAS. In reading the migration guide it says: To keep a permanent copy of metadata, we suggest enabling saving of local metadata to media folders. I can't see how to do this. I've seen some other threads that reference it, such as: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/45866-save-metadata-into-media-folders-missing/ But I don't see what's being referenced there either. Can someone point me in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Well if you click Gear Icon > Library > Movies (or whatever) > Manage Library > Show Advanced Settings and scroll down there's a Save Artwork Into Media Folders checkbox. There's one for Thumbnails as well, and maybe others, didn't check too closely. Edit: thats on Windows, I assume it applies to Macs and QNAPS as well...

markand Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 I think so. I enabled it for each library and .nfo files were written. I did find it a little confusing as to what "Metadata" was in this situation. Also, from previous forum threads it seems like there used to be a setting that more closely matched saving MetaData than ones for Images and Thumbnails and having to figure out that this was Metadata. Hope that helps explain my confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
