Anixd 7 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I have setup a mixed content library, in the main folder I have different folders like year 2010, 2011, 2012 and so on. Further in side the year folder I have sub-folders festivals, school, trips etc. All have videos in it, I have put poster.jpg in each sub folder which shows up perfectly. But the problem is that the image I want to be backdrop / background never shows up, even if I put them into sub folder or in the year folder I have read and followed all the naming guidelines but could not figure it out, strangely if I do not make sub folders then background image starts to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you have a nested folder for year, if you have background/fanart it will not be displayed when you enter year folder. I believe actual content applies. Library path .../misc /misc/2010 poster.jpg background.jpg /misc/2010/festivals /misc/2011 /misc/2011/trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anixd 7 Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yes So background art do not appear in the sub folder structure The visualisation by happy2help is correct Even if I pit separate poster and background, only poster appears not the background. For example - misc is root folder /misc/2011 /misc/2011/trips Poster.jpg Background.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anixd 7 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Is there a way that the trips folder can be treated as seasons of a tv show ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Yes, but you'd have to re-organize so that it follows TV naming conventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anixd 7 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 I was trying out your suggestion it's working but now trips, festivals etc had to be named as seasons which is weird to view. 2ndly, there are some audio files they are not showing as per tv show conventions, which were earlier showing, So how do I name them ?

Luke 37063 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Unfortunately there isn't a perfect answer to this. TV libraries don't support audio. You may have to move those files out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anixd 7 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 There is no way that we can post seasons with different name or otherwise they appear as folders with no backdrop. As far as audio is concerned when the folder is renamed as seasons then audio does not show but when it remains 'trips' it shows and plays audio fine. A lot of trouble , can there be a update that would enable audio in seasons or in folders view show backdrop like tv shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the folder needs to be according to supported naming schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anixd 7 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Can you please suggest how ? When I name the sub folder as season 1 - trips , it just shows season 1 and if I change season 1 to trips only then it does not that it as tv show due to which no background appears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
