Emby still doesn't use the first picture as thumbnail in some cases

[CatSama 1]

tried the 3.2.70.1.

 

Emby still doesn't use the first picture as thumbnail in some cases.

 

for example:

 

 

 

 

Emby use the 3rd picture as thumbnail.

ok yes I can reproduce this example, it's just a sorting issue, thanks.

[CatSama 1]

Hi, this sorting issue is still there,will that be fixed?@@Luke

It's on our list for review, thanks.

I'm using 3.6.0.39 now.

 

I can see Emby made some changes but........ too aggressive.

 

Emby use the first item's primary as thumbnail but not the first picture now. 

 

For example, 

 

 

Emby use the sub-folder's primary as parent-folder's thumbnail, it's very inconvenient in some folder structure.

 

And we can see the "_title01.jpg" and "_title02.jpg"  at the bottom. “_” Shouldn't be at the forefront?

I would check the sort titles for each of those.

Hi, @@Luke.

 

I checked github everyday and tried every beta version,but we still get those problem.

is there any progress for this case?

[Luke 42077]

What are the sort titles of each?

[CatSama 1]

What are the sort titles of each?

 

the default setting is sort by Folders, and I tried sort by Name and others sort mode,

they all have this problem.

Do any of those have sort titles defined?

[CatSama 1]

Do any of those have sort titles defined?

No, I never defined sort titles by myself.  I have over 1500 manga in my Emby library. So I can't defined them one by one.

 

[CatSama 1]

it's 4.0.0.0 beta now..............

[Luke 42077]

Hi, yes i can reproduce this and I apologize but it is due to the way the sqlite database sorts the names with underscore characters. is this one case that big of an issue?

[CatSama 1]

emmm.....maybe it's not a big deal for most people.

 

But in my case, as I said, I have over 1500 manga in my Emby library.This sort problem really bothered me.

 

I will be very glad if you are willing to fix this sort problem and make Emby use the first picture as thumbnail but not the first  item's primary.Thanks

[Luke 42077]

I was just asking in order to understand, thanks. I think we are going to need a sqlite collation in order to perform natural sorting. do you concur @@MikePlanet?

[MikePlanet 144]

Yes, I think that should work. We have to carefully look, where indices are used, they have to match the collation, otherwise it would bring a significant performance penalty (or recreate them, they by default use the collation of the underlying table).

[CatSama 1]

I'm very glad to see Emby finally fixed most my problem in 4.2.0.8

 

But this problem is still there,do we have a plan to fix this too? maybe sometimes in future？@@Luke

what is the order of that example now?

@@Luke

No problem with the order now,  it should be looks like this：

 

but Emby still use the sub-folder's primary as parent-folder's thumbnail.

I know I can upload  primary by myself, but as I said, I have over 1500 manga in my Emby library（ over 2000 now）, it will be a big big project.

Did you test this by creating new test folders?

oh.......I apologize.......

I deleted my library and created it again, now it works all right !!!

Thanks!!!

[Luke 42077]

Thanks for the feedback !

 

@@MikePlanet we have the sorting collations now.

[CatSama 1]

@@MikePlanet we have the sorting collations now.

@@Luke apologize  again....

But I found it doesn't really be fixed.

 

When I crated my library again, I really see the thumbnail works right,

but when I click "Refresh metadata", the thumbnail changed to the sub-folder's primary.

 

 

It seems like the thumbnails generated by the first scan are correct when creating new libraries or adding new files to libraries.

but there are still problems with the thumbnails generated by refreshing metadata.
