Missing tag images

[Natelanxon 27]

Hi. I've noticed the auto-generated images for most (but not all) tags on my server have disappeared. I've not consciously or deliberately changed anything to cause this and all other images are fine. Is there a way to force Emby to delete all tag images -- existing or missing -- to reset them back to default? I'd prefer to never have images for tags anyway.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred:

Thanks!

Attaching a log file.

Adding another image to illustrate this continued problem. @Lukeis this something you've seen happen before?

@Natelanxonas a test, are you able to right click one of those tags, edit images, and then delete the existing image?

I'm having a similar issue. I first noticed it most of my collections disappeared (I have 100, all of a sudden I only had 7 or 8). I fixed that issue but restoring a backup from Nov 13th. Most of the collections seemed to have come back fine but I had to re-add the primary image for about 10 collections (wasn't too bad using the search feature).

Then I went into my TV shows and noticed that most of them are missing (they were all there a few days ago). I'd attach a log file but the oldest one I have is from Nov 14th and this clearly happened before Nov 13th. Let me know if you'd like me to create a separate thread for my issue.

Yes this works. Is there a way to do that for all existing tags?

HI, no, but we're looking into improving the recovery from this situation. Thanks.

Okay. Do you know of any workarounds or plugins I could try to reset them or do something to have them all show broken image icons?

[Luke 42077]

Well for a TV show you could refresh metadata and check the option to replace existing images. But obviously be aware that that could bring about other unwanted changes.

Ah shame. Okay. I hope a feature to force a reset to all tag images could come soon. It looks really messy right now.
