Music Playlist Images

[KeithA 5]

I have a folder with many playlists in it.  When I uploaded pictures for a given playlist previously, Emby created  a file alongside the playlists that was named similar to the playlist but had a -poster added to the end of the name.  I recently tried that same process however it appears Emby handles things differently after the recent update.  Now Emby simply places a png file alongside the playlists that is named poster.png.  This is a problem because it simply overwrites the file each time I upload an image for a playlist.  In the end all playlists end up with the same image.  It should be noted that all of the pictures I uploaded prior to the upgrade remain unchanged,  thankfully.  I am assuming this is a bug.  What is the intended behavior?

Hi, what are the contents of the folder?

[KeithA 5]

The folder has sub folders that contain my music files.  The root folder itself has my playlists.  When I previously would upload pictures for a playlist Emby would place an image file alongside the playlists.  Those image files all had a unique name.  There are some of those files in there as well.  The new way seems to put a image file there with a default name that gets overwritten each time I upload an image for a given playlist resulting in all playlists having the same image.

 

Thanks

How many playlists are in the folder? can you please show the contents of the folder? Thanks.

I am not at my computer but would say there are well in excess of 100 files in the root folder.  They consist of .m3u8, .jpeg, .gif and .png files.

 

Thanks
