swapping fanarts - file in movie folder doesn't get replaced

[horstepipe 422]

hey

I have all my fanarts in the seperate movies folder and also told Emby to save them  there.

When I change e.g. the poster of a movie in Emby, Emby applies the changes, but the poster.jpg in the movie's folder doesn't get replaced. Even though I delete the old poster.jpg before, Emby doesn't create the new one.

 

Could this be because the current naming of my fanarts is

moviefilename-poster.jpg
moviefilename-fanart.jpg
etc

and emby creates

poster.jpg
fanart.jpg

?

Each movie is in its own folder?

ok just recognized that it doesn't even work with new movies, either.

Is this a bug in current stable release?

The only thing I changed the last days was installing the plugins "rotten tomatoes reviews" and "coverart"

No, there's no bug. when you download a new image, we save using the rules of our naming conventions, we don't necessarily use the same file name you had before. maybe we could think about changing that but i'm not sure. all of our naming conventions are designed to be kodi compatible.

And our image naming conventions, when the movie is in its own folder, are to not pre-pend it with the movie file name.

hm ok but what's going on here, now?

I'm adding a movie, Emby recognizes it and fetches all data. but it doesn't create the files (neither .nfo, nor .jpg/png) in the movie folder anymore.

Should I upload a log file?

The day before yesterday it definitely worked, yet.

Maybe one of the mentioned plugins interferes the process?

ok status update:

1. adding a completely new movie (that wasn't in database before) still works (files are being created). In my previous tests I just deleted a movie, waited until it was removed from Emby database and pasted it in again.

 

2. Then I've tested to delete a movie, cleared and updated Emby database, pasted the movie in again, waited until Emby recognized and scraped it automatically -> no metafiles were being created -> then I refreshed the movie manually -> no success, either.

 

So I had a look in the log and it seems to be a permissions problem. Emby can't write to the existing movie folders, creating new ones seems to solve the problem.

So Emby Server runs on Synology NAS. How can I give Emby write access to my movie folders without giving it to the whole users group?
