metadata images no longer stored in media folders...where do they go, how do i get them back?

[jacjr73 0]

I've been searching the forum looking for answers to a question I have related to the images that used to be stored with the movie file in its perspective folder.  I did find some threads but am still confused on what I should be changing, if anything.  Based on the threads, I've seen that there should be an checkmark option to save metadata in the same folder as the media, however I dont see that option in my settings anywhere.  I do have CoverArt installed and wasnt sure if that was the issue.  Basically, I would like to keep all the image files together with the media file since they are all stored on a redundant NAS and dont want them stored on the emby server.  It was mentioned that saving the image files together with the media should prevent reload/rebuild if my emby server crashes.  I'm assuming this is still the best practice?  If so, how do I get all my new media folders to start dumping the metadata there?  I attached files of what used to show and what shows now.  I can edit the images with the metadata manager and they do show when viewing/watching the movies.  I would like to prevent future headaches if something goes on my server.  Any direction would be much appreciated.

It should be under the Dashboard > Library, click on a library and maybe scroll down a bit. Hopefully its not missing. Think you have to rescan library to get artwork to show up afterwards.

hi @@jacjr73, this is a setting that can be configured individually for each library now. Just click on a library in library setup and check the box about saving artwork and metadata into local media folders.

 

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Thank you so much.  I looked thru every option I could click on, but never dawned on me that I could actually click on each library itself.  All I thought you could click on where the 3 dots for the settings.  I really appreciate it.  Keep up the great work.
