Disable Logo Images?

[osak00006 12]

Hi Guys,

 

Thanks again for all the help, so far. Loving Emby!

 

I customized my scraper settings, before scanning my library, to disable all images except for Primary and Thumb. My goal is simply to have the Poster image and the fanart background image. For some reason, even with these settings, Emby scrapes in the Logo for some movies/shows. 

 

What's the easiest way for me to remove the Logo from my library, so it doesn't show up in Kodi anymore?

 

Thanks!

Since they are all named logo.png, why not just do a search at the top level folder.

In Windows? Not not currently saving metadata to folders, as it was incorrectly saving weird images for random movies... is there a way to do that search in the cache folder or something, that would have permanent impact?

Emby does honor the settings but those settings will not remove existing images that may have already been downloaded.

You need to do the search in \Emby-Server\metadata\library.

 

Or if you customized metadata location, then where ever you relocated it to.

This was user error. I didn't realize I had logo.png files in my local media folders. Deleted the logo.png files, deleted my database, and I'm currently rescanning everything back in. 

 

That said, I still have my /emby/data/collections folder. Is it possible to import these collections -- so I don't have to recreate all my custom ones and assign the posters over again?

 

Did I mention I'm loving Emby?!

Hi, thanks for reporting back. It should pick up those collections with the library scan. For future reference, you could have just deleted the images and run a scan.

1. Delete local media folder images

2. Delete cached Kodi media images

3. Refresh artwork for all applicable sources

4. ???

 

Do I do a full DB reset via Emby for Kodi? Or just cache all images, choosing yes to remove old?

You can just do what I suggested and then wait for the kodi addon sync process to react to the changes. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.

Once I delete the images, locally... running Scan Media Library would remove metadata images that no longer exist in the media folders from Emby... and Emby for Kodi would tell Kodi to delete the logo.png that no longer exists in Emby??

 

I'm double checking, because that sounds like something that would fall outside of scan/clean library functions... 

 

Thanks again

@@Angelblue05 can you confirm?

 

It might not get cleaned up from client-side caches right away but I don't think you'll see it displayed in emby for kodi.

Rephrasing my question for clarity... 

 

If I disable one of the image types, within NFO settings... 

 

images-->thumb (changed from enabled to disabled)

 

Do I need to do anything to my Kodi or Emby setups to make sure they all reflect that change and remove the thumb images?

Hmmm good question. I don't believe we delete artwork. We add or replace it when we receive an update for the content. The only time we delete artwork is when the content is being deleted.

 

So once you have your artwork setup in Emby, just reset your kodi database by launching the emby addon > reset local database > yes/yes/no

 

Edit: I'm sure we'll eventually rework this so you don't have to do a reset. However this situation arises very rarely. People usually want all the artwork to display in Kodi

You would also need to delete any of that artwork that already existed.  Changing the configuration to not download it won't remove ones that already exist.
