Metadata naming with Ember

[Tech127 20]

As @Luke and @ebr know, I have deleted absolutely everything in my library except for the .mkv files in an effort to fix some nagging but fairly major issues.  As a result, my overachieving self is trying to get ALL errors out of the Emby logs.  It seems to be getting cranky about missing clearart etc. and I'm too lazy to go through the mountain of media and fix each one individually. I can have Ember do everything for me BUT there's a catch (see below).  The issue I see on the initial test run is that Emby will name the file clearlogo.png but Ember wants to name it The Dark Knight Rises (2012)-clearlogo.png.  Is there a way to make them play nice?  I certainly don't mind the second naming convention as it makes things clearer, but I want to make sure after doing it that Emby recognizes everything on manual refresh.  Not to mention I'm pretty sure Emby will recognize and download at least some info for a new movie, but it's going to use clearart.png, not The New Movie (2022)-clearart.png.  What's the best/easiest way to handle this?  The more set and forget the better

Also, do I need to deal with actor thumbs in Ember?  It seems like Emby does that on it's own, but correct me if I'm wrong...

If they don't play nice together I would suggest disabling image in Emby so it reads images provided by Ember.  As there is no option to choose the format Emby writes as it is conditional on each method.

But looking at your example it looks like Emby imported the media and fetches images then Ember did its things looking at data modified date.  Now if Ember did its thing before Emby you should not have an issue.
