[Kiniu 26]

i would like to ask you guys if there is a chance to do in new update possibility to force pdf, cbr, cbz files to display first page as a cover. this would be such a great feature. any chances?

HI, what does it display now?

[Kiniu 26]

nothing.

This would be awesome. I have to manually create a covers when I add new magazines/pdfs

OK yes this would be nice. For now you will need to assign images manually.

I understand but my question is: is it possible to implant this in a next update; then i wait…. Otherwise i start to do it manually…..

Will it be in the very next update? I don't think so, but it's definitely something that I agree we should look at.

I agree that it would be great if emby could generate thumbnails from the first page of a pdf, much like it will generate a thumbnail for a video file. One of the things i use Emby for is sharing sewing patterns with family members, and for these there will never be any kind of metadata to download from a database
