revengineer 142 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 The rename did not do anything. When I go to edit images, no image is assigned to primary even though poster.jpg is in the metadata library database.
Luke 42078 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 did you try refreshing that item, or running a library scan? one or the other will be required after renaming or deleting files.
revengineer 142 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 I now did both, a refresh under the vertical ... on the web page displaying the movie details and a media scan. Still same issue.
Luke 42078 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Which one is displaying? Did it download a new one or use poster?
revengineer 142 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) No primary image at all, just like the screen shots in post #18. Edited January 31, 2016 by revengineer
Solution Abobader 3464 Posted January 31, 2016 Solution Posted January 31, 2016 Good day, If possible, can you try this suggestion: 1 - Shutdown the emby server. 2 - Go to the problem movie title folder and move it to another location that not include/monitor by the emby server. 3 - Start emby server and run library scan, when finish, make sure all trace for that title are gone. 4 - Now back to the folder title you moved away, create another folder with same name as before, and only move the media file to it, then add it back to the movie library and do again library scan. Dose this solve the issue? My best 1
revengineer 142 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 Abobader, thank you for the above procedure, it helped me find the problem. The problem was that there was a corrupt image for the movie stored with the movie itself. While I have my emby metadata stored in the in the emby directory in the %appdata% location, I do have a title image stored with the movies for use with another media software. Apparently that image takes precedence. Furthermore since the image was a corrupt zero byte file, it showed up as a black box. Before when I manually set the primare image in emby, it stuck for some time. It is likely that this selection got cancelled when the movie folder got synced with the 0 byte image from another network drive on a nightly schedule. I am pretty confident that this solved the issue. Thank you for the support. 1
