Possible to disable cover art for movies as most of the cover art is incorrect

[denz 501]

I really love the idea of having a movie cover art but in my situation using serverwmc is just wrong not always but most of the time like you can see below. it I would rather have it disabled so it just has a generic icon like for the movie: valiant. I am surprised that it is getting a wrong cover art when as you can see below Movie: Despicable Me has a poster of a sequel.

Go to Metadata-Services-use dropdown for each type-Image setting and uncheck the images you don't want, you can uncheck Image fetchers also.  But all previously downloaded images you will have to manually delete.  Do you have metadata save with media or local?

I found it thank you but it doesnt make sense that i have to disable it how can emby from movie: the promise get sailor moon details there must be a bug in the server. Once we are able to import xmltv so i dont have to use serverwmc will see if it makes difference.

Well you asked "Possible to disable cover art for movies".   Without a better description of the issue it just a guess, but I think Emby may have an issue with the naming scheme prefixed "Movie:" then name.

Maybe you should ask that question elsewhere? See here:

Looks like a simple recognition issue to me too.  Make sure your movie naming follows the conventions described in the wiki or use the identify tool built into the web UI.  If you're going to manually identify movies rather than change your naming convention I strongly recommend saving your metadata in the movie folder so it can't be lost to a server drive failure or crash.

I believe this is Live TV, if so is there a setting to not Prefix movies with "Movie:"?

You have "Movie:" in all your folder names? That is most likely what is causing problems for you.

Luke is right the server is doing it correctly it is darn prefix that is causing issues. Once the xmltv import is available I will create a batch file to remove that prefix because I still like to have it in WMC with that prefix so you know it is a movie I am not a fan of coloured guide that is why I have it disabled in WMC.

 

It is just a shame that the prefix cannot be ignored but I do understand other guide data could have other prefixes. Maybe one day Luke creates an option that it ignores the prefix when it is searching the themoviedb or the other movie database as an advanced option.

 

Thanks everyone.
