JsinFate 29 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Hi guys, For the past several weeks I've been having issues with Emby fetching movie / TV posters and not generating video thumbnail chapter images for newly added tv shows. I am having this issue on both of my Emby installations. 1. When I add a new movie, Emby is downloading the worst possible quality poster. Most of the time it's 200 x 300. A lot of times it skips downloading the backgrounds. 2. For TV shows, it is no longer generating images for each Episode OR Chapters in the episode. It uses the "Thumb" for these. To make things even more confusing, the Movies seem to generate the chapter thumbnails properly. Only TV Shows seem to be using the "Thumb" . I thought there used to be a setting in the Fetcher Settings to download highest rated images first, but I can't find it or it seems to be missing. I'm attaching screen shots of newly added movies that Emby chose the lowest quality posters, a screen shot of a TV show to show you the thumb being used for chapters and episode images. Attaching 2 logs, embylog and image log. Oh, I have also completely refreshed my TV Show library replacing all metadata and images TWICE. I have triple checked my library settings, fetcher settings and compared them to my Movies library settings. I have also ran the scheduled task 3 times to generate video thumbnails for chapters. embyserver.txt extract-multi-image-644781F6C4DD_1.txt Edited 1 hour ago by JsinFate Removed PGP Key
JsinFate 29 Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago UPDATE: I just added 2 episodes of American Dad! and neither of them used the episode or chapter images. The rest of the season did when I added them weeks ago.

Luke 42597 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Quote 2. For TV shows, it is no longer generating images for each Episode OR Chapters in the episode. It uses the "Thumb" for these. Did you enable the spoiler feature in your user settings?
JsinFate 29 Posted 53 minutes ago Author Posted 53 minutes ago It was enabled. I don't remember turning it on but that was it. Why would turning on the spoiler setting cause the chapter images not to generate and the episode thumbnails to not work? I still have the issue of Movies always downloading the worst Posters.
Luke 42597 Posted 42 minutes ago Posted 42 minutes ago Hi, did you read the help text underneath the option?
JsinFate 29 Posted 35 minutes ago Author Posted 35 minutes ago I did, but it only says it hides the "image" and "overview" for unwatched episodes. I can see that "overview" is the episode summary but I didn't realize that it prevented both episode thumbnail and chapter images. Once I get home I will post screen shots of my Movies library settings and fetcher settings.
Luke 42597 Posted 32 minutes ago Posted 32 minutes ago The text will be updated to also indicate chapter images. Thanks.
