AllesMeins 18 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I admit this isn't the worlds most important problem, but I like everything clean and organized. So one thing thats been bugging me for quite some time is the mixture of styles in the season-posters for one show - maybe for season one there is an "the complet season one" text at the top of the poster, for season two there is just a large "2" in the bottom left and season 3 is designed in yet another style. I know that I can manually change the image for each season, but this is quite time consuming. The loading of the available posters is painstakingly slow and sometimes incomplete, I've to check all seasons first to make sure the style that I want to use is available for all seasons and then I've to go thru it all again to select the appropriate images. So my question: Is there a better way to detect which posters belong together and chose a complete series for all seasons? Could emby be improved to do it automatically? Or are there any other plugins/databases/tricks I could use? How do you other OCD-users out there do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1551 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Personally, OCD types like me would probably do stuff manually from ThePosterDB - https://theposterdb.com/posters/3608 https://theposterdb.com/set/19372 I don't know of a way to automate it, but the list of things I don't know is truly spectacular... Maybe ThePosterDB could be an Emby option one day - hint, hint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 If you do a one-time refresh metadata on the series and replace all images, then by obtaining all season images at the same time you'll increase the likelihood that they will be uniform. It just depends on what the highest rated images are for each season on tvdb, moviedb, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8239 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It all comes down to the provider and how that image is rated on their site. So uniformity can be impossible without user intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh_48 942 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 If you store artwork with the media then it becomes pretty easy to simply replace what you do not want with what you do want. But it is tedious and I don't bother. As long as I can tell what I am looking at and it is not too hard to read/understand then I canre very little what the artwork looks like. I watch media not the interface that I use to access it. I guess I am lucky that my mild OCD does not include obsessing over the visuals of the interface. In this case "good enough" is really "good enough." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ThePosterDB could be an Emby option one day - hint, hint. I'm somewhat active on the plexposters reddit & submit the odd poster. Some of the regulars there are behind Posterdb. Posterdb is what we would need support for to get this FR addressed, but they don't yet have an API. For now this is manual work...manual work I do all the freaking time as I slowly polish my posters to my own take on perfection. Great request but currently impossible.

arrbee99 1551 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 If they ever do do an API i guess it could work quite well for Movie collections as well, which I also (occasionally) do manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're working on it I'm told though always in the context of a plex plugin. Dunno if a public api will come at that time or later. They do keep the poster sets flagged together though so you could potentially apply an entire matched set to a collection it they do it right.

arrbee99 1551 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Well, you can download a set but guess the applying bit is still one by one. Still, first world problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36999 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Those should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
