Music Group Artwork not saving in correct spot

[manf0001 4]

Hello, I'm Running Emby Server 4.0.1.0 on CentOS 7.5

 

I've noticed that in my music collection it's not using or saving the folder or logo artwork into the Respected Group folder.

 

So my Library Folder Structure is /Music/Group/Album

 

I have the cover.jpg in each Album folder and that works fine.   But in the Group folder I have folder.jpg or logo.png and emby doesn't reconize them.   Via emby I went to edit images for the group and put the uploaded the desired image and it applies, but it doesn't save the file to the Library Group's folder.      I know this because I have removed the folder.jpg  from the folder and tried adding it in.  It saves the picture but again not in the library.   I found that it is saving them  at /var/lib/emby-server/metadata/artists

 

I also do have the option Save Artwork into Media folders enabled for the Music Library.  But I would think that it shouldn't matter if I already have a folder pic in said folder.

 

TIA

Hi, metadata for music artists does not get saved in media folders because they are tagged items and not associated to folders. It is possible for the future though. Thanks.

Ok so adding artwork via the Edit images is metadata, but why isn't it picking up the photo if I place it in the actual Artist Folder?

 

According to the Wiki of the naming conventions for Music (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Music-naming) Images are supported in both artist and album folders.

 

So if I have the following layout should this not work?

\Music    \Artist Name      folder.jpg       \Album Name        cover.jpg          1- Song.mp3          2- Song.mp3

For me emby picks up the cover.jpg file fine under the albums, but  it doesn't recognize the folder.jpg.

Because at this time we do not correlate artists with folders, it comes from the embedded information within the audio file. It is difficult to determine if a folder is actually an artist folder. It's possible to look at this in the future though.

Ok thanks for the clarification
