blue65 2 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi, I installed Windows 10 on my server and installed Emby Server from scratch (using Version 4.2.1.0) basically using defaults for most options. I connect to Emby using "app.emby.media" in Chrome Have an issue with my Music Videos and how they display the posters. As you can see on Pic1 it displays as a landscape image of my Primary Portrait Image. If I goto into the folder, the poster image displays correctly (see Pic2) If I exit back to the Music Video folder, it still shows the poster in landscape (Pic1) If I goto edit my images, you can see my Primary image is configured correctly (see Pic3) If I exit out all the way to the Home Screen and then get back into "Music Videos", the image now displays as a poster but with a landscape background (see Pic4) Any thoughts?

Luke 37049 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It's because of other images you have in that view. It picks the display aspect ratio based on the values of all the images being displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue65 2 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Hi, I had previously left the NFO metadata and images in my Music Video folders from my previous installation. I cleared these out and left just the video file When I create a library of type "Music Videos", using "TheMovieDb" as a metadata fetcher and "TheMovieDB" and "ScreenGrabber" as Image fetchers, I found no Metadata was retrieved nor images. The default image that Emby creates was the only image I had. This was landscape mode. (see Picture 1) If I downloaded the DVD cover to my folder and re-scaned, the poster appeared correctly formatted but still no metadata (Picture3). If I added a second video, let it scan, the first movie has poster in a landscape background and the new movie has the EMby created landscape image (Picture4). This is what would be expected given what you mentioned about display aspect ratio. I then add a DVD cover image to the folder and did a re-scan, the posters for the two shows are now showing with a landscape background (picture 5) If I created the library as type "Movies", using "TheMovieDb" as a metadata fetcher and "TheMovieDB" and "ScreenGrabber" as Image fetchers, it finds the movies metadata and images and formats correctly (picture6) Why would I select "Music Videos" as a type of folder if it doesnt return any images or metadata? I tried adding PlugIn IMVdb as an option but that didnt retrieve anything either. Should I be using a different fetcher ? I can only presume that the music videos aren't seen in "TheMovieDb" because they are defined as "Movies" in the database. If my folder type is "Movies" then it would work.

Luke 37049 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Why would I select "Music Videos" as a type of folder if it doesnt return any images or metadata? So that we can present you with options that are specific to music videos, such as entering the artist info in the metadata editor, and showing music video metadata providers. I can only presume that the music videos aren't seen in "TheMovieDb" because they are defined as "Movies" in the database. Possibly, but i would check your music video library settings to see what provider(s) are enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue65 2 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 I've used the default settings for creating "Music Videos" The only provider I can see is "TheMovieDb" (see Picture7) What extra providers can I add ? I did try adding Plugin IMVDb (which gave me an extra provider to select from) but that never returned any images or metadata for a number of videos I tried.

Luke 37049 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Those are currently the only options. It's possible that movie db just doesn't have anything for those titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue65 2 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 The MovieDB finds 90% of my Music Videos if I define the folder as "Movies" Doesn't find any if folder is defined as "Music Video" I don't have a lot of videos so I might leave the folder as "Music Videos" so I can use the metadata options for music videos and manually create the information.

Happy2Play 8277 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 With a quick test with "ACDC - Live at River Plate" there were no provider queries when the item was added to the library. If I identify there is a query to tmdb and it is found. Library content type Music Videos. 4.2.1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue65 2 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 These are my observations. 1. If I make the folder a "movies" folder, tick "tmdb" as my provider, 90-95% of my 'music videos' are found but the metadata is in the format of movies ie. no option for artists, albums etc. The missing 6-10% videos I could not find in the tmdb database if I went to the actual website. 2. If I make the folder a "music videos" folder, tick "tmdb" as provider, none of my 'music videos' are found. If I edit the metadata and manually add the tmdb id value for my music video, do a refresh of metadata, the metadata and images are found. I also notice the imdb value gets populated. 3. When the video is actually found, the poster image is displayed in landscape mode (which is due to the display aspect ratio mentioned earlier in the thread). I presume this comes about because the music video was not initially found, and the initial default image craeted by Emby is landscape. When the legitimate image is found ie. in portrait mode, it still displays it in landscape mode. I get the display to correct itself by going to edit the images, doing nothing, exit back out to the home screen, get back into my music videos and the display of the poster is now Portrait.
