jeremytodd1 0 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) So I switched from Kodi with MySQL to Kodi with the Emby addon with a clean install of my library. I'm having a problem though. After Emby finished scanning my movies this is what is showing up in my movie list. http://i.imgur.com/PtytJ4f.jpg See how some of them have the official look? Like 300, American Beauty, 3:10 to Yuma? I want all of my movies to have that type of look. I don't like the logo of the movie with a transparent background. Is there a good way to fix this?

chef 3810 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Just a guess here but you might have "logos" enabled. At the top of the page there is a display setting that looks like a couple rows of white boxes ( right beside "A-Z") Click on that and make sure that you have chosen "poster" images.

Luke 42078 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Ho, welcome. Can you show us what the contents of one of those movie folders looks like? Thanks! 1

The setting on that icon is currently set to "Poster Card". I tried changing it to "Poster" and the icons didn't change at all. Ho, welcome. Can you show us what the contents of one of those movie folders looks like? Thanks! There you go. http://i.imgur.com/gdLVODz.png I appreciate the really damn quick responses guys! Thats great!
chef 3810 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Looks as though the poster images may not exist in your folder structure for those movies (500 days of summer for example..) Things to check is that saving Metadata to folders is turned on so that the next media refresh will collect those images for you. Edited March 20, 2016 by chef

Because that is already enabled. http://i.imgur.com/dNYakCm.png
chef 3810 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Hmm... You may need to enter the Metadata manager and go through you movies to aquire the poster image for the movie which are missing them. Click the three white dots on the movie which is not showing poster images and select "edit images" This should allow you to download the missing ones. I think there is a bulk processing option in the Metadata manager, which collects and saves missing info. Edited March 20, 2016 by chef
Luke 42078 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 It looks like he has poster images in his folder, they all have the same file name as the main movie, but for some reason they're not being used.

I think there is a bulk processing option in the Metadata manager, which collects and saves missing info. Doing them manually is what I'm really trying to avoid, as I never had to do this with MySQL and that I have hundreds of movies and it will take quite some time to do it. Looking in the metadata manager I'm also not really seeing a way to bulk process them.
jeremytodd1 0 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 Would it help if I deleted all the non-video files in the movie folders and then have Emby rescan?
Luke 42078 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 not yet. what do the files for 300 look like? 1
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Can you show us what the contents of one of those movie folders looks like that is displaying a poster (Like 300)?

Luke 42078 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 what are the contents of the image 21 Jump Street (2012).png?
jeremytodd1 0 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 what are the contents of the image 21 Jump Street (2012).png? http://i.imgur.com/9peyBec.png
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 What program creates that image named that way?
jeremytodd1 0 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 What program creates that image named that way? The only program I use is Emby and Kodi, and as far as metadata goes Emby handles all that at this point I believe.
Luke 42078 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 yea it looks like the images are being read correctly. the issue is how did a logo get saved that way in the first place.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) I believe the image order of precedence for poster is folder.ext poster.ext moviename.ext moviename-poster.ext These should all be poster Your issue is moviename.png is not a poster it is clearart. Is the moviename.jpg or -poster the actual poster? Edited March 20, 2016 by Happy2Play

Is the moviename.jpg or -poster the actual poster? http://i.imgur.com/eTzHhpq.png And I double checked the 500 Days of Summer file. The file that is just 500 Days of Summer.jpg is the exact same picture as the banner file.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 So it looks like you need to delete all the moviename.jpg and moviename.png files and have Emby rescan your library. But what would cause moviename.jpg to get banner image and moviename.png to get clearart image?

But what would cause moviename.jpg to get banner image and moviename.png to get clearart image? I'll go ahead and delete all the non-video files and get back to you guys when the rescan is finished. I think it's going to take a while so it might be later today sometime but I'll keep an eye on it.
jeremytodd1 0 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 So it finished the scan a bit ago. We lost progress lol. This is what it looks like now. http://i.imgur.com/T3QzHde.png http://i.imgur.com/1XA0p21.png
Luke 42078 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Most likely, either it's not finished or there was an error downloading images,
