Disable automatic collage image generation for audio playlists ?

[Nanobot 0]

Hi everybody,

I have been testing the emby server on windows 10 for a while and like it very much, especially because it is the only (free) DLNA server wich is capable to do a server side search. Nevertheless, there is one characteristic I do not like that much:

Whenever one or more audio playlists are imported, the server automatically generates and uses a "collage" image for the playlist. This absolute makes sense if a playlist contains songs from different albums. Nevertheless, my playlists mostly contain only songs from one album. I know that I can manually replace the collage image by a single album image, but that would take much time. Therefore my question is if it is possible to disable the automatic collage generation somewhere in the settings ?

If not, I would suggest a new feature: Whenever a music playlist contains only songs from one album, the automatic collage generation should be disabled and the normal album front cover should be used as playlist image. Only if a playlist really contains songs from different albums, the collage image should be generated and used.

Thx in advance for any help

HI, yes I think this would be a better approach. Thanks for the feedback.
