zBernie 15 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I have a photo in Emby 4.5.4 which I've deleted several times, copied to the Emby directory several times, changed the metadata, yet still, scanned library files numerous times, yet it shows an old version of the photo. I changed he metadata field "Title" to "AAAAAAA". This shows up in Emby, but it is still showing an old version of the photo. What can I do to get Emby to recognize the new version of the file? -Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I copied a file named tourquise.jpg photo to a folder monitored by Emby. Then I made changes to tourquise.jpg using Affinity Photo, and then copied the file to the same folder. Then scanned library files for that folder. But the old version of the file is always shown, not the new tourquise.jpg file. I've deleted the file, rescanned, but Emby always shows the original file, not the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) After you do the first drop and replace have you tried a refresh metadata replacing images? Edited April 16, 2021 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you shouldn't have to do that. A normal library scan is enough, provided the date modified timestamp of the file changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timestamp, metadata, and file contents are changed, yet the old version of the photo keeps loading. Even after I used Emby to delete the photo, rescanned the folder, copied new turquoise.jpg, rescanned, and still the old photo is displayed. -Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
