Some album images appear tiled

[beckfield 173]

Many of the albums in my collection, when Emby creates the library, it creates album images like this:

 

 

These are tiled versions of the actual album covers.  I can't find any reason for it to happen.  It doesn't happen for all albums, and I can't see any reason why some would be done this way and others wouldn't.

 

Running Emby Server Version 3.6.0.76 beta on Linux Mint 17.1 (problem existed with Emby 3.5.x before installing beta).

Yeah, it's there now.  Forum software is freaking out when I try to put an image in.  Finally switched to "full editor" and it worked.

Haven't seen that before.  What is your music library structure?

[beckfield 173]

Here's the folder structure on disk:

 

 

I have two music libraries.  One points to .../Music/Classical and the other to .../Music/Popular. 

 

Looking more closely at my collections, I see that this only occurs for two artists - Clannad and Loreena McKennitt.  It happens to all of Clannad's albums, but only some of McKennitt's.

Yup we shouldn't create collages for albums. That is a mistake. Thanks.

[beckfield 173]

It looks like the beta version doesn't do this.  I completely removed the two artists' files out of the monitored area, scanned library to get them removed, then put them back.  When they were re-created, the tiling did not occur.  (It did occur when I did that process using the release version).

Thanks for the feedback.
