Greetings, 

I've encountered an issue during first setup of my library:

The library I use contains jpeg images with the same file name and a movie (created carefully for embedded TV player). I understand that EMBY uses them by default, I change them to a very nice corer art by pressing refresh metadata, incl. images, it all looks great until the next library scan.  During the library scan it always returns to an old image, even if I block the movie from changes. I looks like images near video files have a priority over downloaded ones. I can disble scheduled task for library scan, but that doesn't seem to be the right way. Is there a way to force using selected cover art and not change it during library scan? Or maybe change library scan setting to ignore images?

I've searched the forum for similar issues but found none. Please let me know if there are solutions for it.

I run EMBY at Ubuntu 18.04 but the issue seems to fit more a General sectrion. 

UPD: disabling scheduled task didn't help, library still runs for some reason and resets corer arts.

Yes the images with media will always take priority, also sounds like your downloads don't have permission to replace/remove said existing image so is save in \metadata\library and is removed on next scan as the folder image supersedes the download.

But you may have to go over a specific example to include all folder content and screenshots and server log.

Understood, thank you. 

But I don't want to remove \replace existing images, just ignore them in EMBY, so that both EMBY and embedded TV player work. Possible?

No there is currently no option available to ignore anything stored with media.  Only thing may be a different naming scheme but would assume the embedded TV player would have issues then.

All of Emby's image naming schemes can be found in the Video images section.
