tuvx 14 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Over the last month, my custom genre posters have been deleted. I have gone back and reverted them by "uploading" the custom pictures, but within a week or so they revert back to the "tiled" movie poster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanbuff 840 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hi, it's a known issue with the current beta and has been reported a few times. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/85196-library-main-dynamic-image-never-updates/&do=findComment&comment=885153 https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/88023-where-have-all-the-genres-gone/ Hopefully the devs can get it sorted sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviefan 183 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 This isn't just impacting beta anymore. Happening in stable now as well. Any update on a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moviefan 183 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Sigh. We need to hack the database to get the program to work? What version can I downgrade back to not be impacted by this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8278 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 It works, just not the way you want it, as customization of these images were taken away, to give dynamic images per genre instead of static images. That is why old databases still work and new ones don't do to this change. So all we can do in a new database is hack it to be like old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviefan 183 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 But, customization of these images wasn't "taken away." They can still be customized, via the WebUI - the way that @Luke and all of the other admins have been pushing us to use for picture customization of everything for the last few years. And then Emby overwrites them. To me, this is not working correctly. The auto generated images don't look that nice - and especially when viewed from ten feet away on a TV screen all just look the same and are hard to tell apart. This is a really poor decision is this was intentionally thought through by Luke. Within that thread Luke seems to be surprised that this is impacting images which were customized via the Web so perhaps that wasn't intentional? Lastly, I don't understand how to "hack the database." How do I give the database a path for those images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it surprising that this defect has made its way to Stable, not acceptable imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8278 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Basically Emby has killed all the custom images via metadata folder and none of them work any more. (People, Genre, Studios, Views, Year, MPAA Rating) Some have different methods now. Edited July 20, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then Emby is overwriting them. This should be easy to stop. The one thing that Emby has always been better at than Plex, etc is its customization. Please don't start taking these aspects away. Can someone tell me which version this was changed in so I can downgrade back to the previous one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell me which version this was changed in so I can downgrade back to the previous one? Yes Emby would have to go back to using a dedicated folder to maintain these specific images to know not to change them. The dynamic image process will only then know not to change them. Downgrading would more then likely break all clients except the web client as this change was over a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in beta this change was made a year ago? This only started happening over the past month or so for me. And I have not been using a. dedicated folder for quite some time. @Luke can you please explain the rationale here? You have decided that your users can't customize images like these anymore? Why?

tuvx 14 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Does the removal of about 30% of my actor images have anything to do with this issue? Edited July 24, 2020 by tuvx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanbuff 840 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 @Luke can you bump this up on the priority list please? Displaying the ugly Genre page just brings down the overall aesthetic look of an otherwise well presented UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
