Naming artwork for multipart movies

[DrQuinn69 4]

All,

I read over the documentation for naming movies/artwork and only saw an example for naming multi part movies but did not see anything for naming artwork for multi part movies. Apologies in advance if I missed it, I'm old.

Example for naming multi part movies:

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd1.mkv
\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd2.mkv

I typically only have one Primary file for multipart movies:

 

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009).jpg

Am I supposed to have separate .jpg files for each part?

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd1.jpg
\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd2.jpg

Thank you for your help and again, apologies if I missed it.

Not sure !

But try

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-poster.jpg

or

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\poster.jpg

That might show the poster for both files.

Jaycedk,

Thank you, will give it a try. Have a bunch of files like this that aren't working out so was hoping the developers would advise before I make all the changes. Take care.

No luck Luke - can't seem to get this to work. The media type is Movies and when I add media Emby creates a screenshot and uses that image as the poster rather than using the "Movie Name (2023)-poster.jpg" image that already exists. 

I tested using the following file names:

All files in one folder, Movie Name (2023):

Movie Name (2023).nfo
Movie Name (2023)-fanart.jpg
Movie Name (2023)-poster.jpg
Movie Name (2023)-pt1.mp4
Movie Name (2023)-pt2.mp4 
Movie Name (2023)-pt3.mp4 

I also tried the following which did not work:

Movie Name (2023).nfo
Movie Name (2023)-pt1-fanart.jpg
Movie Name (2023)-pt1-poster.jpg
Movie Name (2023)-pt1.mp4
Movie Name (2023)-pt2.mp4 
Movie Name (2023)-pt3.mp4 

Has anyone else ever run into this before?

Try just Movie Name (2023).jpg

Just tried your suggestion Luke. When I refresh Metadata (Replace all Metadata and check beside replace existing images I get a black "default" image, aka no image.

Try just running a normal library scan.

Luke, I found something that works. I haven't tested the fanart/backdrop file yet.

If I use the following naming:

Movie Name (2023).nfo
Movie Name (2023)-fanart.jpg
Movie Name (2023)-Disc 1.jpg
Movie Name (2023)-Disc 1.mp4
Movie Name (2023)-Disc 2.mp4 
Movie Name (2023)-Disc 3.mp4 

Seems to be an issue with using "pt1" vs "Disc 1" for some reason. Thank goodness for FileRenamerTurbo.
