Artcovers for folder they're in, can Emby to associate automatically?

[coltonyyz 10]

Hi, sorry for a weird subject. We're limited for characters and I don't know how best to phrase my question.

I recently reinstalled Emby and had to wait for the library to rebuild itself. In doing so, I have folders that contain artwork for that folder within itself. Unfortunately Emby did not use that artwork to generate thumbnails.

Is there a for me to run sometype of script or something to get Emby to use that image for that folder it's in?

Because they are all listed as front.jpg it would take me a very long time to go and manually edit the image for each and every folder of music I have. So I really hope there's an easy way to accomplish this, versus me having to go one by one and point emby to those images idividually. Attaching a photo to show the file inside a folder; that file "front.png" is the artwork for the folder called CD03-__Club Mixes Part 1

Thanks for your time! Hope to hear from someone soon!

Cheers!

Front.ext is not supported as Primary image type:

Image Type	Supported file names
Primary	folder.ext
	poster.ext
	cover.ext
	default.ext

Music Images

You'll have to rename those images to one of the supported naming conventions but you don't have to do it manually, it can easily be done on OS level via some bulk renaming utility of your preference (like this one).

So by renaming them from "front.jpg" (I think someone named it this because its the front cover of the 'CD' haha), and change it to "poster.jpg", will Emby automatically use it for the poster image?

Correct and if there are multiple images the image naming order of precedence will apply per the KB.
