Emby Primary Art "too small"

[Guest]

Hey guys, i have a little question to you, which botters me a bit.

 

On my emby linux server, i have the problem that some of the media gets some "too small" images.

 

 

The picture is very small, and it looks ugly. Is there any way i can prioritise images or replace images permanently? (If i edit it manually, it replaces after some time back to the small image)

 

I hope there is a solution to this

 

Greetings

You probably have a really tiny thumbnail sitting in your media folder. Try deleting that.

[Guest]

Ive done that, and 10 minutes later the same tiny picture came back

[Luke 42077]

came back where?

[Guest]

Sorry im german,

 

I deleted the pictures from the metadata folder and manually added a picture.

about 10 minutes later, the old picture replaced my picture.

It is probably embedded in the video file...

[Luke 42077]

Even if that's true, internet images get higher priority, unless he changed metadata settings.

I would just use the web interface to download a better quality image.

I actually use the web interface to download a better image. Same issue. The image gets replaced every time.

what image file, exactly where?

[Guest]

what image file, exactly where?

I cant use the "Save artwork and metadata into mediafolders" Feature, because if i do that, the whole library "deletes" itself, and some folders are not showing up (I checked the log, no entries)

So the metadata is saved into the default metadata path (on my server, thats /emby/metadata/metadata/)

In this folder, i mentoined above, are many folders, which contain the metadata.

I searched the tiny picture and replaced it with an better picture.

For about 15 minutes, it didnt replace the picture, but after that, it replaced it.

Second try was, as you suggested, to edit the movie in the web interface.

That did work for about 20minutes, then it replaced it again.

 

Is there any debug function i can use to resolve this?

 

Thank you for your patience and support, i know my english is difficult.

 

Have a nice day

Are there any images in the media folder?

[Guest]

There are images in the media folder. The owner of the files is the emby user.

[Luke 42077]

what is inside the media folder, can you show us? thanks.

[Guest]

Im sorry, Do you mean the folder which contains the media or the folder which contains the metadata for the media?

[Happy2Play 9780]

Can you provide a screenshot of the content in the media folder.

I had the same problem.  I kept trying to replace the main poster and after a scan it would always put back the old one.

 

I don't remember which was which but in the folder i had poster.jpg and i was using the web client to upload a new image and it was saving it as poster.png but it would always revert back to the jpg file. it might be the other way around with the jog and png files but as soon as i deleted the one if was reverting to, i was good to go.

I "cant" upload a screenshot because im not using a desktop GUI.

I uploaded two textfiles, if you dont trust this, i try to post it here.

Neither of those files show the contents in media folder for "Everest".

 

Your movies.text does show you have random images with your media files, this could be where the conflict is.

The blue text is the path where emby searches for movies, red text is the movie folder

yellow text are the files.

As you can see there is no file....

[Guest]

Is there a possibilty where i can add the user emby to the usergroup of the user,which is the owner of the files?

because if i activate this little feature here:

all my libraries are not showing up and i have to identify every movie again... 

[Luke 42077]

do you have any hidden files inside the movie folder?

This is another issue but specific examples would need to be given.  But looking at your movies.text, are they just not Identified and are present in the Metadata Manager and you would have to Identify then do to their naming scheme.

Nope, no hidden files

I rename nearly any movie myself, thats not the problem. the problem is that when i add one specific folder, the whole movie database gets fucked up and then it shows only the files from one folder.

have you been able to find the actual file location of this tiny image?
