Cover Art

[HairyBizRat 21]

Cover Art works fine but I would like it to only add cover for UHD 4K movies and not do Bluray (1080p) covers, is that possible? I prefer the regular Emby poster for everything but I want the UHD for my 4K movies only

Yes, you could use either specific covers or profiles to accomplish this.

Thanks for the reply, maybe i'm dumb  but i cant get Cover Art to ignore all media except 4K which i want UHD covers, is there a user guide or do you know how to get it to ignore everything except 4K?

Hi,

I'm using the latest Cover Art plugin, Android latest Emby version. The issue I'm having is for my 4K TV shows. The cover art does not show the 4K cover art like it does for my 4K Movies. Is there a setting that I need to tweak? Thanks.

Disregard, I figured it out.

TV shows aren't media and, thus, don't have resolution.

I did , best I got was my 4K movies show 4K cover art.  My TV shows are ignored but my 1080p movies have a “HD blue box” cover art

OK right TV shows are containers and therefore don't have video resolutions. I guess we'll have to think about that.

I suppose one way is to let you add a tag to the series so that it will get the 4k treatment.

Hi.

For my media all of the 4K TV shows used the default "Series" cover, so to have them show in the 4K cover I added a new TV 4K profile,  went to Specific Cover Selection and had the "Series" cover use the "UHD cover. Problem solved.

For my media library it's separates into:

TV shows 1080p and lower resolution

TV Shows 4K

Movies  1080p and lower resolution

Movies 4K

 

Cover Art gave all of my 4K TV shows the default "Series" cover, so to have them show in the 4K cover I added a new TV 4K profile,  went to Specific Cover Selection and had the "Series" cover use the "UHD"  cover. Problem solved.

Exactly.  Another way would have been with Tags but, if you have your content physically separated on the file system, the profile feature as you did it is easier.

To accomplish that you may have to physically separate them in your file system and use different profiles.
