CoverArt: Not displaying consistently in Collections

[keitaro26 22]

Hello all,

 

I'm not sure what I am missing here, but it seems that I can't get my Media Indicators to display consistently in collections. Here is one collection (manually created) where it works fine:

 

And here is an automatically created collection with some of the same movies where it only applied to 2:

I've tried refreshing metadata, replacing images, removing and readding the media from my library, and uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin. I've also tried changing treatment styles and using default indicators, but I am having no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi, what exactly is applying these indicators?

The CoverArt plugin media indicators.

OK we'll see what @ebr thinks. Thanks.

Are you sure they are exactly the same movies?  If you click on them, do they show the same path?

Yes, they are the same with the same path, and if I view them not grouped in the collections, the overlays work 100%.

Then it seems it almost has to be a cache issue of some sort.  What happens if you delete the "enhanced-images" folder under the image cache?

The exact same movies get the same treatment. The pictures took a second to load, but then it ended up exactly like my screenshots from before. Does it matter that the collection they are working in is a manual collection and the one they are not is automatically created by TMDB?

[ebr 16169]

Other than device caching, I'm out of ideas.  I don't know how the same item could have different primary images.

[ebr 16169]

Are these items multi-version by any chance?

 

[keitaro26 22]

They are multiversion, yes.

[ebr 16169]

And are you on the beta server?

That must be it.  You are seeing images from the non-HDR versions somehow. 

[keitaro26 22]

I'm not on the beta, but shouldn't the plug-in be overpaying based on the highest quality? And why does it work in one collection but not the other?

That is what it is designed to do but perhaps something has changed in the server (see topic I linked) to affect that.

If there are multiple images for the same item, then which one gets delivered at any particular time may be undefined...

It does seem to be pulling the non-HDR version. If I split the versions apart and delete the art for the lower version, then regroup them, it shows no image in the collections with the issue. I'm guessing this is a server problem rather than the plugin, but any suggestions?

Please contribute logs and details to that thread I linked.

Thanks.

Try changing the added date inside the nfo files.  Make the media you want in the collection to have the oldest added date.

Version HDR (.nfo file)

  <dateadded>2025-06-30 11:58:30</dateadded>

Version 1080P

  <dateadded>2025-06-30 11:58:30</dateadded>
 

Change version HDR

  <dateadded>2020-06-30 11:58:30</dateadded>

Rescan the library.  You may have to redo the collection, as well, for this to help.  I suspect that the oldest dataadded value may be the media that gets into the collection.

Hope that helps.
