Image attached to an mkv file

[pgell 6]

Is it possible to make Emby use an image attached to an MKV file as the cover art?

Hi, what do you mean by attached?

[pgell 6]

MKV containers can include attached files, such as images (https://www.matroska.org/technical/attachments.html).

Anyway, I think your question, answer mine. Thank you.

Embedded images inside the video file are supported, yes.

Okay. Sorry about my English. So, what specifications does the file need to meet? Or how should it be defined within the MKV? I included a JPG named "cover.jpg" in my MKV, but Emby didn't pick it up when I added it to my library, and I can't find a way to tell the server to use that specific file as the cover art. Do the JPG's dimensions matter?

Do you have "Image Capture" library Image Fetcher enabled and set as top-preferred fetcher?

You know what would be cool, if emby could embed posters into movies series I mean as of now we can already convert our media with emby. I'm not sure most people would have a use for it though but I would, it would be another task that emby does making it imo cool instead of using mkvtoolnix doing each one. Anyway, Grims post should solve your issue pgell, have a good one.
