How do I stop emby using and fetching art I don't want

[te5s3rakt 4]

I don't like clearlogo's or landscape images. I don't want them. Plex didn't use them. And nobody produces complete art work collections with them.

How do I get rid of them?

I don't want them downloaded. I don't want them used anywhere.

If something is in "continue playing" I want to use the regular movie/show poster.

On the Apple TV dashboard, I want to use the Posters for "On Deck" when looking at the app.

How do I do achieve this?

This throwaway art is ruining my carefully curated library and driving me insane

** I recently switched this off, so new shows don't have landscape files. But the issue now is, when these shows appear On Deck, they appear to use the 'fanart.jpg'.

Quickly regarding 'fanart.jpg', I have one small grievance. I've always placed a 'background.jpg' file in the directory (based on Plex's original recommendations). Is there a way to make emby default to saving the backgrounds named similarly? Presently I'm pulling my OCD/ADHD hair out going through and constantly renaming 'fanart' to 'background'. Now I hear what you're thinking, perhaps therapy would be easier, so I'm not compelled by a simply filename. But alas, that would be way most costly

Why do you need to rename it? To run both?

Because I prefer my local assets be background and poster only in each folder. Not fanart and poster.

Like I said. There's zero sense to it. Just my brain is broken 

 

That's a minor grievance though. My big concern atm is being able to drop all the landscape.jpg images, and displaying the portrait poster.jpg's in the On Deck/Continue Watching gallery on Web & Apple TV

So you just want to see placeholders instead of artwork?

No. I want to see the portrait poster.jpg in my On Deck/Continue Watching, instead of the landscape/thumb or in absence of those the fanart/background.
