actor images still not supporting folders by name

[blade005 185]

 

Well, success!!  That method seems to work just fine.  All my actor pictures show and nothing else seems to be affected as far as I can tell.  I did update both "Path" and "Images" in the "MediaItems" table.  I did them separately just because I was lazy and didn't feel like looking up how to combine the statements to do it at once.  I'm sure it's simple but this was just as quick.

 

First I did:

UPDATE
    MediaItems
SET
    Path = REPLACE(Path,'\\192.168.1.12\Emby\metadata','%MetadataPath%');

Then I did:

UPDATE
    MediaItems
SET
    Images = REPLACE(Images,'\\192.168.1.12\Emby\metadata','%MetadataPath%');

 

Thanks for sharing this.

 

Since the update to Emby Server 4.0 I have been chasing an issue with Actor Images pointing to a long ago abandoned cache path. There didn't seem to be any way to update, delete or correct these once identified. Followed your suggestion above on updating all paths back to %MetadataPath% default for the two columns in Library.db file after creating a backup. Initial results show success in Actor Images displaying as expected. For the ones that still show a blank image I can now update via EDIT IMAGES and the update is written to the default path.
