• start server after deleting rock genre image
• refresh metadata (search for missing metadata) on rock genre

a single album candidate is selected when there are many artists and many albums in rock genre, i think artists candidates are preferred in any case. 

 

The other genre that goes wrong for me is Ambient which again uses 1 album image when there are plenty of artist/album images.

 

i presume this is related to why the library image generator goes 'wrong'...it duplicates an album image and chooses the albums which make up the dodgy genre images (bit of a coincidence)...it seems something is giving these two albums a massive overriding weight in candidate selection.

 

Cant tell what the pattern is...wild unsubstantiated guess "some artists/albums in scope have special characters"

Still having same problem, with both Playlist and Genre Emby-generated images. This is what appears after full, multi-hour rescan and reload of metadata (with 'replace all images' checked).

Yes I believe there is another topic on this as it fixed in beta.  Or will say 4.9.0.8 does not have this behaviour as 4.8.3.0.

4.9.0.8 (upgraded from 4.8.3+delete image+refresh meta) still exhibit the issue for me.

I just went through and multi-select all and refresh replace image and it utilized different artist/albums where I can't get that in 4.8.3.0.

So there must be another variable.

4.9.0.8

Okay found two genres that won't change and these all appear to be track images from same album.  Only testing Rock.

So I don't know the variable as 2 out of over 40+ genres are not creating proper genrecollage.

OK I see a change that should help. Thanks.
