It's in the advance section.
But never mind, i can replicate the problem.

@MAX92I take that back, i can't replicate it.

Is still a problem if you downgrade to the release version?

Please do what i said and also send a screenshot of the info screen of that movie like this:

I added the latest work i have worked on as beta v5.60.5.0, try that one.

Been working on a check to see if an install of Emby has Skia or not before the plugin will use it.
Might be what is going wrong.

If that doesn't work try and downgrade to the release and see if that fixes it.

You can downgrade to the stable by selecting this.

Then i'm sad to say that i'm pretty sure it's a settings problem on your end.

But try and activate:

It's in the advanced tab in the settings.

Move an icons position, save, go into a library to see if anything changed and then send me the emby log file.
Also if you can, send me the embyicons.xml file in the plugins/configuration folder.

That way i can be sure.

Try the latest 5.60.2.0 beta in the catalog.
I changed it to not show when the rating has no value.

I upgraded to 5.60.2.0 beta but it still shows a rating of 10 for empty ratings unfortunately. I changed the Icon to a custom IMDB icon, if that makes any difference?

I havent read the full post here but when i have any that have a 10 rating, if i manually re-identify the movie it then pulls through a rating and the overlay corrects itself. Not sure if this helps

Should be fixed in the 5.60.6.0 version.

[yocker 1985]

New beta version 5.60.9.0.

1) Performance improvements,
2) Fixed small memory leak (talking low megabytes)
3) Added a poster scale option, this can improve drawing speeds a lot specially for smaller systems.

I have a rating-sync plugin running, that will always overwrite any manual changes with "null" or "0" again if it doesn't find a rating in the IMDB CSV files that can be downloaded. This happens for very new movies, or movies with a low number of ratings. So manually editing doesn't solve the issue for me.

Happy to hear it's working now.  

Please note:
It's a beta version so bugs might have sneaked their way in.
I'm currently running test on it with my own setup(s) without problems, should you find any then please report them to me so they can be fixed.

Thanks for a great plugin. I have an issue I was wondering if it's possible to fix.

I have this enabled for all of my libraries so Emby clients can read from the SSD drive where I have Emby Server installed without waking my HDD array while  browsing/searching etc while still keeping images in each of the media folders: 

With the EmbyIcons plugin enabled, searching/browsing wakes my drives: it reads the original images stored on my HDD array instead of the cached copies in the server's metadata folder on my SSD (Emby's "Cache images" library option keeps them in `/config/metadata/library/…/imagecache/`) as far as I can tell.

Would it be possible to add an option to read all images from the server's cached metadata folder instead? Not sure if it's possible, but thought I'd ask, as it would stop drives from spinning up whenever I search for something that isn't already cached 

Running: Emby 4.10.1.0 in a docker container on Unraid, EmbyIcons 5.61.0.0

Reading from Emby's cache would be impossible as there's no way to know where precisely the images are stored by Emby and what they are called.
The plugin only reacts and draws on what Emby hands over to it, basically Emby is in charge of what is happening.

Disk access with the plugin is mostly up to how Emby hands over the poster.
If a new poster has to be drawn, because someone browses the library, the disk should only wake in case Emby doesn't already have the drawn image.

Two things that would wake the HDDs in your scenario.
Posters haven't been drawn yet, then Emby it self will have to access to artwork for the videos on the HDDs.
You use custom icons for EmbyIcons that are placed on the HDD.

Many versions ago i tried making a scheduled task that could "warm up the cache" for Emby and EmbyIcons by going through all libraries and scanning for anything that wasn't already in the cache and then draw the posters. Maybe i could add something like that back.
How ever, i never added it because it was a heavy operation that depending on the library sizes could take a long time.
