Naming Question for Home Video and folder.jpg

[lobo683 0]

Hi,

 

     I have a Folder type -> Home Video with a few Sub folder in it ex: HomeVideo/Folder1 , HomeVideo/Folder2

 

What do i need to do in order for the folder.jpg (in example Folder1) to show up in the Recent Items on the EHS ?

 

As of now they all have the default blue picture no matter what i put in /Folder1 (folder.jpg, poster.jpg) The is no .xml in that folder and no metadata since they are home video.

 

Has anyone any idea how to make this work ?

 

-Thanks

Edit them in the web interface using the pencil icon. When in the metadata editor click the images tab and +upload them.

The Poster Still wont Show Up in EHS but now instead of the Default blue icon i now have a screenshow of the actual Video.

 

Anything else you can think of ?

Maybe try deleting the image cache for MBC? I had a problem with images not showing up properly and that fixed it for me.

and is there a way to do this from the menu or i need to just delete the files in MediaBrowser-Server\cache ?

Your folder should look like this, (from my Videos/paean folder)

 

 

Obviously, I created my own art, and I also have a stock .xml file that I fill in the video name and then let MB fill out the rest, or add in the metadata editor.

I should have added that the "type" you chose (movie, music video, etc) for the parent folder will make a difference in the .xml that is created. For a home video, I would just use "movie".

 

What I do, is create the folder, add the art and xml, before I add the video.

 

Here's what it looks like on the videos screen:

 

And then on the video itself screen:

Did you follow the advice above and edit them with the web interface?

Yeah did use the web interface everything show up fine Except the poster on the Ehs home screen (as you can see with my attach screenshot)

 

But i'll give a try to change the Type as My series and movies come up fine on the home screen

The Way I was Able to fix it was to switch the Type to Tv Show then create a Folder called Seson0 in each sub folder and use the Web intefance to insert poster,backdrop & everything and now everything shows up perfecty (EHS & everywhere)

 

ex: HomeVideo1\season0    <----All the different video in there

ex: HomeVideo2\season0     <--- More here and on and on

 

Thanks to Everyone !
