JohnnySapphire 2 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 The main image for each library which has a collection of the artwork of media inside never updates unless i manually delete the image. It has always done this and does it for all my libraries (movies and tv). All of the media it currently shows isn't even on my computer anymore. I have all the settings in normal and advanced to auto auto and auto refresh every possible setting, but no matter what this will not update unless i manually delete this image. i've looked through threads, but not seen anything that works. Anyone else have this issue or a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnySapphire 2 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 On the image '...' , Refresh metadata, tick replace images - mine instantly refreshed with a new set of images... Yeah, i guess i'm looking for it to auto refresh. I dont want to manually have to refresh metadata everytime i add new media for this image to update. i have all meta data set to auto refresh and forced, but this never updates. Would give a fingertip to get it to auto update whenever media is added or removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8242 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Have you tried deleting the image and doing a library scan? There are old topics where dynamic images stopped working and when it was fixed, it require users to delete the current image. I don't know the exact interval these dynamic images are suppose to update though. Edited April 16, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySapphire 2 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Thanks Happy2Play. Yeah, i've tried this. It will update the image, but it will become stale and never auto-update. Is it possible a permissions issue on my local computer? This seems to be the only emby related media image that does not auto update. Using Windows 7 as admin.

Happy2Play 8242 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I personally apply images to all my libraries. Dynamic images are suppose to update on a interval but @@Luke would have to comment on that interval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8242 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Looks like they are suppose to update every 7 days. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/72537-dynamic-images-for-libraries/?p=732651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know metadata was auto-updated monthly, so i waited a month just to be 100% sure and it did not update after a month. I have been testing this since november, playing with settings..etc and finally give up and came here for the pros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 They will rotate once every week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may refresh if you set the library metadata to refresh every 30,60 or 90 days, but I've never set this so can't confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySapphire 2 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 They will rotate once every week or so. They have never updated automatically. All those items are no longer on my computer or in Emby. I've deleted the photo and done re-scans and turned everything to auto scan, but this image will never update unless you delete it manually every time first.

As that topic say you will have to delete the initial image. Library refresh interval has nothing at all to do with dynamic images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Library refresh interval has nothing at all to do with dynamic images. Years ago .. You can also refresh the image by forcing a metadata refresh with image update, as I said in #2 - you do not need to delete the image at all. Hence my thought it may be related to the library refresh interval ... Edited April 16, 2020 by rbjtech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence my thought it may be related to the library refresh interval ... But to me Refreshing 6000+ items is not very practical. There is not suppose to be any refresh required for dynamic images to update. It is suppose to update on a interval of a week or so. Since it is hard to track something like this, @@Luke is there a way to manually trigger this to see if it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 yes that 7 days thing is a myth when it was last fixed - i deleted existing images for the libraries - got new ones and they have stayed the same for months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusher11 850 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Am I the only one who doesn't want them to update automatically? I've taken great care to make sure they all only feature covers of titles available to all users. Would hate for that to automatically be overwritten.

arrbee99 1551 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Nothings changed automatically here. It always used to be that if you added your own images they weren't updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be fine if it didn't automatically update if you upload your own images and had static media, but for those of us who delete movies and TV shows after watching them, it only shows old media that no longer even exists on your computer for weeks or months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
