CoverArt Issues with 4.0.35.0

[PenkethBoy 2068]

As report previously cover art 4.0.35.0 (towards the send of the tread)has issues with treatments https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/48099-covertart-40320/ 

 

New stable server 3.2.22.0

 

1) Box set treatments have issues e.g. SapphireDiscs - displays ok within plugin config screen

 

Config screen

 

Movie Page

 

 

If you apply an angle you get in the config screen

 

 

And how it now looks in Movie page

 

 

To me i looks like the treatment is created to large which possibly is part of the problem

 

I have tried several of the different treatments and at different angles and the vast majority do not display well - specifically i think they all are slightly different to the previous version that was ok 4.0.29.0 - which i think was with Imagemagic - the new version is faster but results are not as good yet.

 

The Fan option has issues

 

 

2) The Rounded Treatment still has artifact issues

 

 

Couple of examples from TV Shows

 

 

 

I have attached a log which shows quite a few errors related to cover art - this log covers my various attempts to try out various settings to find something that works and i like the look of

@@PenkethBoy how did you build your collection? was it done in the web interface or using autoboxsets?

[PenkethBoy 2068]

Hi @@Luke

 

Done manually by picking the movies to add to the collection via the web interface on chrome - they have been like that for a long time - not created a new one in months

I have the same issues with CoverArt 4.0.35. Almost every single treatment is messed up. I use folder view in Theater, and the following are not correct:

Folder

Collection

Media Folder

 

I tried downgrading to past versions of CA but that did not help.

 

This is VERY ugly.

What exactly is the issue that you are having?

[khodges747 55]

The Fan treatment for Folders and Media Folders is no longer available. The selected treatment (no matter which one you choose) uses a landscape AR rather than a portrait AR. The 9 items shown are all folders with multiple items inside.

 

 

The Collections folder is specified as Disks (3 DVDs sticking out of a case) but the actual treatment is not that at all, and the AR is distorted (too tall).

 

 

 

 

The individual Collection treatment is specified as Disks (3 DVDs sticking out of a case) but the actual treatment is not that, at all. You can detect part of the disks sticking out the left side of the case, not the right side.

 

 

Basically it's a big hot mess. Tell me how I can get an older version of CA to work again, please.

on my stable server i went back to 3.2.20.0 and installed .29 coverart

 

- i uninstalled coverart first and deleted all the folders in the cache folders for coverart and the settings xml file for coverart

 

reinstalled the old server - then installed .29 coverart via the plugin catalogue 

 

this works - one issue is the boxset treatment example is not visible in the plugin interface - but it still gets applied like it did

 

Will wait till this gets fixed before trying again on my stable box

[Luke 42077]

I have a temporary update I will push to the plugin just so that things align properly. It will use plain discs for boxsets treatment and then it works as expected. We can do that while we investigate the issue. Thanks.

Not seen an update yet for the coverart plugin?

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I think I'll just wait for a fix from Luke. I can live with the ugly interface in the meantime.

[Luke 42077]

I put out a cover art update to fix the boxset disc treatments. the fan treatment is still having an issue.

[khodges747 55]

Thanks Luke, that helps.

 

Still, the AR of the BoxSets (Collections) folder is not right (too tall). I posted about this in the Theater forum before I realized it was a CA problem. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/48606-collections-folder-aspect-ratio/

 

 

The current individual BoxSet treatment is slightly different from the former, in that the right side of the discs is cut off. I prefer the older version.

New Boxset treatment  

 

Former BoxSet treatment  

 

And of course the Fan treatment still needs to be fixed, as you know.

 

[khodges747 55]

Any update on this problem?

The latest version of CA (4.0.36) only fixed a couple of issues.

There is no multicase treatment (such as Fan) for folders or media folders. If the Fan treatment from older versions of CA is inherited in this version, the treatment is downright ugly.

The BoxSet treatment is not nearly as nice as it was in older versions of CA.

[Luke 42077]

There is still an open issue with fan treatment. Thanks !

Hi

Just deleted all my old 3d boxset folders so I can use the coverart boxset options. Seems to cut the discs off on the right, this happens no matter which type of case I use. 

 

See screenshot

 

Thanks

Does it happen if you don't apply rotation?

[rs6516 4]

Here is a sample of mine... same thing. It's been this way for a while. Here is a thread I've been following regarding this.

Well it would seem this has been going on for a couple of months, any chance it might get fixed!.

 

I just deleted over 200 hand made 3D cases to convert my whole collection to  the new system, not too happy.

[Luke 42077]

Is the A/R of the poster still too tall or is it just that the discs are getting cut off on the right? thanks.

In any case, please try this version. You'll need to bust your image caches, or better yet, test with a brand new boxset. thanks.

This version works on beta server.

 

I edited image on a boxset to force refresh the cached image.

 

As you can see the refreshed image vs non-refreshed image.

Nice 12 rounds artwork, I actually made those covers and all the discs for the whole set. I will try the refresh thing myself

i just tried this on the stable server and this is what i see with a "flat" treatment

 

 

or with angle - 3 clicks to the right

 

 

Definately looks better with an angle applied - the look and ratio do vary a bit depending how wide your browser is - on a 4k monitor if i use the full width the angled collections look fine until about 1/3 screen width then they start to "distort" - not a CA issue but its all about the visual. With the flat treatment changing the size of the screen width does not improve the visual experience - other autosize code in the web page getting in the way?????

 

This is what i see on the Collections page

 

 

And flat

 

 

As its been a couple of months since the switch - my memory maybe off - but i think ImageMagic was less distorted for the main movie poster and possibly showed less of the disks images but i could be wrong on that.

Can you find one of those images in your image cache and look at it?

 

I'm thinking the UI is distorting them, not the treatment.

[Luke 42077]

Ok so at least the discs are no longer being cut off right?

 

And I think @@ebr is right.
