FR (plugin?) - use backdrop + logo if missing thumb

[howllor 33]

It would be great that if i have a library item like a movie of a tv show that Emby can find both backdrops and logo for, but no thumb, it would automatically generate a thumb from the backdrop and the logo.

I often make such thumbs myself using photo editing software in case the thumb is missing from all image sources, but it would be even better if that process could be handled automatically.

It's called a landscape.

Yes, I know on other platforms (like Kodi) it's referred to as "landscape", but Emby calls it thumb for some reason. I'm not the one making this word up. I'm calling it thumb, backdrop and logo because that's what Emby calls it, rather than landscape, fanart and clearlogo. I know these are the same. The request/suggestion is still the same, generate a thumb/landscape using the backdrop/fanart and logo/clearlogo.

No, you were right to call it as thumb as that's how Emby refers to it - was just referring to how fanart overlayed with logo is actually called, as a fun fact.

Ok gotcha

Anyway it feels like something a plugin would be able to handle even if it's not implemented in the Emby core? To me it doesn't really matter how it's handled tbh I just wanna save a step of "manual labor"
