Episode pic stopped showing.

Howdy yall.

The strangest thing, all episode thumbs/titlecards have somehow been reversed and I cant recall that i have made any changes.

The original primary thumb shows up when choosing "manage pictures" but it doesnt show up in the seson-episode overwiev, not even when i attach it manually by choosing the file directly.

I have checked everything to the best of my ability but cant figure it out, and I occured before updating to latest beta so im guessing that has nothing to do with it.

Suggestions and pointers would be much appreciated.

thanx!

Pics attached.

Looks like you've got the hide spoilers option enabled. Look for it in your user preferences.

You were right, dont know how that happened, but all good now, thanx!

Wow, so many users run into this it seems like we should just remove the option.

No need to remove it. Just need to ensure it remains disabled by default.

[Luke 43129]

It is disabled by default but what's happening is users are turning it on and then wondering why they're not seeing episode images.

Or maybe they're not turning it on and there's something else doing so?

Most reports I've seen, the user had no idea that option was even there.

That's not uncommon - even though they actually enabled it.  You just forget or you don't mentally connect "spoiler information" with the episode image so don't think it has any bearing on the issue.

I think this is a big factor.

What's not to understand with this text?

I dont think its as simple as just not understanding.

Beacause if it was, then nobody would need any help with something that has written descriptions next to them in the server settings.

/N

[Neminem 1905]

But this is not a server settting..

Its a app setting, that users can change to there liking.

[MediaIntelNUC 62]

Doesnt change my point, like @ebrsaid, its a mental connection to spoilers.

The reason this happened in my case whas that my girlfriend hates the themes/trailers playing when choosing an item, so she went in to the settings and thought she could disable them momentarily and she thought they were "spoilers"

And she didnt tell me that she had tried to disable them.

As i said, not as easy as just not understanding.

Right that's why the option was renamed to just "Hide information and images from unwatched episodes"

Im getting nowhere here..I just tried to get across that its not always that simple, users get things wrong eventhough that line is there for a number of reasons.

But then again, I should know better...

Hmmm 

How should the writing be then?

Any suggestions to a re-write of the description?

To me its clear.

First off, i didnt say thwe writing was wrong, i just tried to make a point that sometimes users get it wrong for a number of reasons.

If so many users get it wrong, why not make it an admin-setting, and then it can be disabled and enabled per users like the other per/user options?

This is a per-user setting, not a device setting, maybe she should be using her own account so she doesn't change settings that you don't know about or affect your usage? Though I'd say that now you've been educated you know how to handle it. This should not be an admin only toggle feature.

Hmm so you had a bad experience with it, so you want to take the option away for those that like it?

That's egotistical tbh.

And setting it as a admin option, then you take freedom away from users.

That's egotistical tbh.

And there by forcing admin's to ask users if users want it or not.

Since admin's don't know if there user like it or not.

That's egotistical tbh.

And if admin's don't ask there users, if they want it, should admin's blame Emby for taking away the option?

That's egotistical tbh.

Yes, you took the time to read and understand it and, potentially, had a pre-conceived notion of what the option was based on your experience with Emby and these forums.

We humans actually behave a lot like LLMs in that our brains are typically "filling in the blanks" and predicting the next word you are reading or hearing.  This is why many people hear or see what they were expecting to see instead of what is actually there.  There are tons of examples of sentences and words written in certain ways where most people will never see the fact that words are repeated or letters are backwards, etc. because our brains just fill in what we expect to see.

Don't get me started on the number of people who purchase from us thinking they are going to get access to content.  If anyone has really looked at our purchase page and what is necessary to complete a purchase you would never believe that could happen but it does - almost every day.  We humans are just lazy sometimes  and don't truly read or see what is right in front of us.

This is all a bit of a tangent but it is why options can be very tricky to support in a lot of instances.

No, i never said that, i gave an example of how that setting can get screwed up, i NEVER said it should be removed,

@Luke expressed a sentiment to that, NOT me.

Just like every setting that affects users that is currently controlled by admin?

I dont hear you barking about them and how they "take away their freedom"

Just like the other settings that the admin control and have to communicate with its users if they want it or not.

And an Admin finding out what their users want/like doesnt seem like something thats unheard of.

How does the Admin know what the users like in any other of the Admin-user settings?

If an admin didnt like to communicate with its server users, THAT would be egotistical.

Why would admins ask users about an option that has been removed?

And if Emby chooses to remove an option it is their perogative, i NEVER said anything should be removed

Look, I dont know why you feel the need to be rude, patronizing and semi-aggressive on a community forum like this. I realize that none of this displayed behaviour has anything to do with me, or anyone else really, and that this isnt personal towards me.

I cincerely wish that you take a minute to reflect on wether your form of communicating can be, i dont know, improved maybe.

Beacause if you dont take a minute to think about how you adress other people, THATS egotistical.

Take it how you want but im not saying that to provoce you.
