Genre thumbnails doesnt respect library boundaries

[DarKni8 41]

         Hi guys so the genre section, while generating preview is taking images from shows library also. Even though after  clicking the show is not there but it should not be there in thumbnail also, right?

Yep, that is a known issue where Genre images are concatenated from all libraries - and can result in some, khm, questionable images being seen there; your best bet is to assign custom genre image, lots of them in FanArt & Videos forum section.

Ok, now i have follow-up questions , please pardon me.

1) Is a fix incoming in new updates, or at least is any fix known?

2)Are these genres limited, I mean they are dynamically generated or fix list ? I have some adult movies which i maintain through theporndb , i dont want them to make any show up in my home TV.

They are dynamically auto-generated from items belonging to same genre from your compete collection regardless of library; so if you have porn with genre (Swedish ) Action or any other, it might as well pop-up there. 

If you refer to actual Genres themselves, they are whatever you scraped from your provider(s) of choice, and they can range from common like Action, Comedy, Horror etc. to some pretty obscure ones.

Laughing so hard , can't trust porn studios nowadays, lol.

 

Also, from where i can get those genre icons like yours? Also, if i try to make custom one's what's the dimension i should keep?

That's completely up to you, res is anyway less important than aspect ratio, for best experience within Emby use 2:3 or 1:1 for Primary and 16:9 for Thumbs.

Inside of modules/cardbuilder/card.css there is a class that sets the aspect ratio for the genre images:

.cardPadder-square{
padding-bottom:0;
aspect-ratio:0.89;
}

Any pixel ratio that matches are good sizes.  I just use 840 width by 933 height.

The genre art above looks like it's set to aspect-ratio:1.78;  You can do it that way too.  I would change the aspect-ratio in the custom CSS.  Is there a GUI option to set that?  I have not noticed.

Custom CSS entry that may work is:
 

.cardPadder-square{
aspect-ratio:1.78 !important;
}

I would be cautious.  Other square thumbnails may change, as well and those may not have associated images that are correct for AR 1.78.

I've attached a screenshot with custom genre thumbnails that I threw together. The page has some other custom css for background and upper left animated back button.  Also, I added two genres that are not from imdb;  Super hero and Time Travel.  If you do that, you have to add a genre listing for each incoming film, manually.  These are not the highend graphic designs that are posted in the forum group, but they are nice to look at.  I haven't bothered to post the original images.

Why not just put all the adult films in their own library and then limit most users from having access to that library?  You would have to log on with the account that is allowed to view the library to even see the listing of the films.  If a user cannot view a library, the media won't even come up in a search.

Hope that helps.

That will not prevent image-generator to "grab" from that pool for auto-generated genre images.
