Movies Poster Deleted - Bug or a Feature?

[sschimi 3]

Hey,

 

i will try to describe what happens and surprised me:

 

I wanted to add my movie library.

My Movies are in seperate folders with nfo and the primary poster.

(moviename.mkv, moviename.nfo, moviename.jpg)

 

In my first try i disabled any fetching internet metadata / image fetcher. The "save images with movie" option is also disabled all the time.

Next i wanted to fetch thumbs & logos (the primary poster i disabled) to be saved with emby (and not with the movie).

 

Result: My poster.jpg in my movie-folder got deleted

Expected: The poster.jpg should not be touched, because the "save images with movie" is not activated.

 

My workaround: Tick the primary poster on, so emby fetches this for internally purposes, but the movie poster is shown because of higher priority. Not fine, because i do not need the internal posters.

 

It this an expected behaviour and i do missunderstand something? Or is this a bug. In my opinion, the movie poster should not be deleted.

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi. Did you select the option "Replace all images" when you refreshed the item?

Hey,

 

no, i was not refreshing the metadata either.

Its for new movies, when i try to scan the library

Then it might not be Emby Server deleting the file. Please attach the emby server log. thanks.

I tried so search the big sized logs and found something (they're really to big to completely upload, just setting up a new server)

I see the replaceAllImages tag, but i could swear i did not checked it. Just scanned the library. Is the Refresh-Post (http://localhost:8096/emby/Items/7a2175bccb1f1a94152cbd2b2bae8f6d/Refresh?..) only triggered by the Refresh Metadata button?

[Luke 42093]

So you did do a refresh and enabled the option to replace all images - exactly what ebr asked you in post #2.

 

What were you expecting would happen?

[sschimi 3]

First of all, i'm still convinced, that i do not refreshed the metadata (not needed, everything is in .nfos) and second why should i write you, when the solution is clear?

 

asked the other way round:

is the replaceAllImages variable only sent by ticking the box in refresh metadata? or are there other circumstances. What is the "ImageRefreshMode=FullRefresh". How does it change?

 

i'm having a backup of everything, so no need to invest more time, but just wanna ensure there is no bug.

Ok sorry my mistake for misreading.

Yes that is the only reason, if you check the box to replace all images.
