how to prevent emby to overwrite my changes?

[frpatte 2]

Bonjour,

I selected "French" as the default language.

But I want to keep:

1- The original title of a film as I wrtite it in the mkv container.

     This is impossible! All titles are translated into French.

2- The original poster of the film in its original language; Emby systematically fetches the french poster... I change this poster systematically too! But after some times all my work is destroyed.

This is very unpleasant, how can I change this?

I would like too change the home page: instead of a long line showing the mediatheque images, I would like a presentation wich fit the display page. How can I do this?

Thank you.

@frpatte why do you think it's impossible?

Can you please provide a specific example? Thanks.

This is a grey area as online metadata will take priority over embedded data.

Library option

Prefer embedded titles over filenames
This determines the default display title when no internet metadata or local metadata is available.

Only two ways poster will change

1. If there is a poster with media and Emby does not have permission to replace it, new image gets save in /metadata/library/ and eventually get deleted to use priority image with media.

2. Refreshing Metadata with replace images.
