crashkelly 62 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Having trouble with CoverArt not applying the selected treatment to my box set collection. Most of the covers are fine but newly added boxsets appear very strange. I have tried refreshing the collection through the web interface but nothing changes. The first 2 screenshots are what the new boxsets look like and the 3rd is what they should look like I am using CoverArt 4.0.2.1 Thanks server-63517023229.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Do the movies in the box set have proper artwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashkelly 62 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 For sure. I setup the individual movies first and then created the boxset folder with shortcuts to the UNC path. All my boxsets are set up this way. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 And those are tagged as boxsets? If you edit them is the display type boxset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspdend 174 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I can say that I have had the odd occurrence of this also. I have found that if I go to the affected boxset, delete the primary image and then upload a new primary image, the treatment is applied. Not sure what the cause is, but it has only happened to maybe 2 of my boxsets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashkelly 62 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi, And those are tagged as boxsets? If you edit them is the display type boxset? Yes, they have [boxset] in the folder name and the collection type is set to BoxSet. I can say that I have had the odd occurrence of this also. I have found that if I go to the affected boxset, delete the primary image and then upload a new primary image, the treatment is applied. Not sure what the cause is, but it has only happened to maybe 2 of my boxsets I will give that a shot. It basically happens to ever boxset I add and eventually it sorts itself out. I was waiting until the new releases over last weekend before posting anything Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is happening is the BoxSet image is getting generated before the children. So, the children aren't there at the time and aren't in the image. This is a tricky problem of chicken and egg but can probably be minimized by not bringing up any interface that would cause the image to generate before the children are all there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaahh - that could be what I have done as well in those couple of instances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds about right for what I have been doing. I have another boxset to rip today and I will go in the order of children then parent and see what happens Thanks for the info Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you were to incorporate the list of children into GetConfigurationCacheKey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 What if you were to incorporate the list of children into GetConfigurationCacheKey? I actually already do that (to handle the situation where children are added or removed). The problem here is that the images for the children don't exist yet, not the children themselves.

crashkelly 62 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hi, I tried the method that you suggested on three different box sets and it seems a bit hit and miss. Two of the box sets worked out perfectly and the treatment was applied. The other did not get the treatment and seems stuck that way. Once the movies were in place, and after the scan media collection was done and all the metadata was downloaded, I created the box set folder and then pasted in the shortcuts to the movies. Fairly quickly the collection metadata was downloaded and I went to check the BoxSet collection page in the web browser. The boxset was there but the selected treatment was not applied and it stated "0 movies" beside it. I went back and checked the shortcuts and they work fine. I have tried removing the box set collection and reading it but the treatment is never applied. I have tried refreshing everything via "Edit >> Refresh", with "Force Refresh" and "Refresh Child Items" selected, but the treatment is still not applied. Checking this morning, the box set now says "2 movies" and all items are accessible, but after refreshing the treatment is still not being applied.
