Ability to have different GENRE artwork for libraries

[unisoft 354]

At the moment, if I assign artwork to Animation in a MOVIE library, then the TV library also has the same image for Animation. Id like my MOVIES library genre artwork to have different artwork to the TV one.

Nearly 4 years on and nothing done. Also clashes between music and music video library genres....

What do you mean by clashes?

Music/Music Videos/Audiobooks use the same genre image

Movies/TV use the same genre image

Sounds like OP want per content type Genres.

Hey, i know this idea isn't the elegant solution you are looking for...  but have you tried creating different Genre subsets/subnames for your libraries? E.g. you could have some fun with it and add a common emoji suffix to your Genres for Movies , TV shows , Music , Music Videos , etc.

• Animation (Animation Movies)
• Animation (Animation TV)
• Horror  (Horror Movies)
• Horror  (Horror TV)
• Folk  (Folk Music)
• Folk  (Folk Videos)
• Rock (Rock Music)
• Rock (Rock Videos)

This way you could keep your existing common Genre names but have a  specific library designator/differentiator. It also wouldn't mess up the sorting order. You could also use prefixes instead of suffixes, and as long as they were all the same for a specific library it wouldn't change the overall sort order.

If emojis are too 'over-the-top' there are likely other less intrusive symbols that could be used. 

Then, once you have the different (but similar) Genres, they can be assigned their own images.

TBH, I'm not sure if this is useful or would potentially cause other problems to your Genres across libraries, or any auto metadata tagging/ fetching? I guess you could use the Genre Cleaner plugin to map across your existing Genres to make it quicker to do and then it would be automatic for new media.

Anyway, just an idea... Cheers!

I think what you really want is different genres for different types - not just artwork.
