Library Main Dynamic image never updates

[Happy2Play 8275]

@@Luke Does this affect all genre images also, as my applied images are gone?

[Luke 37049]

Yes although I would not have expected you to lose custom images. Did you apply them with the web interface?

Yes, I just reapplied them and will follow up.

Dynamic images were fixed a couple of beta's ago, so I updated my Genre images with my own custom images via the web.

 

As of yesterday, the ugly dynamic generated images were back again and had replaced my custom ones.

 

@@Luke Is this messed up, i thought applying your own custom images was supposed to override the generated ones?

 

Beta: 4.5.0.11

Sort of a conflict as most custom images apply to a folder and reside there, but genre are virtual and when you apply a image it still goes to \metadata\library.  One reason all the old \metadata subfolder structure use to work, they resided in \metadata\genre.

 

So I am guessing my reapplied images will update some time on the 23rd.

On a slightly irrelevant note, I quite like the dynamic genre images, but it would be nice if they weren't squished vertically into squares (somehow).

I suppose I'll just hold off on manually updating them with customs again until this bug gets resolved.

But here you go.

[data-type="Genre"] div.cardPadder-square {
    padding-bottom: 150%;
}

Excellente! thanks very much.

[seanbuff 840]

Has there been any movement on this issue?

 

Some of my users have even noticed and have commented on the hideous auto-generated genre images.

[Luke 37049]

Not yet, sorry.

[Happy2Play 8275]

Just noticed my genre are back to dynamic images again.

If you have old Genre and MusicGenre folders under metadata - which have images AND the database has a path for them e.g. %MetadataPath%\MusicGenre\Audio Book

 

then they dont get new dynamic images

 

I updated mine for Genres and MusicGenres - and so far no images have been replaced

That was my next test, as my stable server still has all the original %MetadataPath%\Genres

Custom genre images being replaced will be resolved in Emby Server 4.6. Thanks.

Does this apply to Beta Server too?

 

I had all genres for tv series and movies then just this morning they were all back to default. And now I am changing them all back to the images in the Emby.Resources-master genre images folder.

In current beta 4.6.0.10 no.  It is in the the next beta release in group testing right now.
