An  update has just been published to the Cover Art plugin to add this. It's only available for the beta server right now, but once we've collected sufficient user feedback we'll publish the update to all servers running Emby Server 4.8+.

Thanks guys.

Luke, is it possible to add more CD cases? Please add more so that users have more cover cases to choose from. I would like you to add a standard CD case like the one in the attachment. Thank you.

We currently have one CD case (see attachment) in the CoverArt plug-in. Could you please add some more? I prefer the standard ones, like the previous post.

Or if there were a way to maintain our custom treatment via custom folder similar to overlays. 

As I just replaced the CD in the resource folder and deleted the already generated CD folder and clear the image cache.

 

tweaked resource dimisions a little bit as template above is a little off.

Wow, genius! I want something like this. The clear, standard case you created looks real and professional. I don't know how to do it. Please include the steps or add this case for the next plug-in firmware update. I hope it's possible.

The problem with self-customization is it is deleted every 30 day and/or with every plugin update.

But for you to test.

Renamed original CD.png to anything and paste the new image into the folder.  Paths will obviously be platform specific and you may have to adjust permissions on your platform.  But not a issue on Windows.

Back out on folder level and delete the CD folder as all treatment folder build off the resource folder.

Then got to your server cache folder for images and delete the cached both folder.

 

Then go to browser and navigate and possible refresh page.

Resources are a good template as any image you add/change you may have to tweak dimensions.  Just like different color mframe but that has been mentioned in other topics.

 

The template is here.

I use a Synology NAS. Trying to locate the path plug-in and add a PNG image via the terminal command on my Mac drives me crazy (I'm not very proficient with the program). I hope Luke can include this CD case feature in the future. Thank you for all your testing. I appreciate.

The challenge with this though is that you might end up with words getting clipped, no?

No different then clipping Artist heads via Artist page.  But will always be dependent of the image itself.

Ist es möglich? Können Sie mit ein Beispiel hochladen das ich dann in Cover Art kopieren kann?

Don't know of a template that would work here as you would have to have a solid border around the circle for the image.

I just edited the css in web client to make them round like Artists.  But would be limited to web client.

div.view-music-music .cardPadder-square {border-radius: 100%}

In, danke

Those circles for Artists were stupid. Creates all sorts of issues with sometimes hard to get, artist/band photos. Should have left as squares. I would have preferred my artists to have their name on the graphic as often easier to see when scrolling a large list of artists/bands. With the stupid circles, it gets cropped.

i think the circles makes the artists page more interesting than if it were a grid. spotify is identical.

i wouldnt personally change albums though
