Library home screen images...

[media-junkie 1]

I just noticed something that is trivial but bothering me. I migrated my server from e VM to a physical server.  Got everything up and running and started a scan of the library folders and subsequently a metadata refresh (just because).  After the process the homescreen images for the Movies and TV Series and Collection were all changed to show various/random poster art of content contained in them.  This lasted for about a couple hours and then the TV Series and Movies change back to the generic images that they are set to by default while the Collections continues to reflect various/random posters of media contained in it.  My question is, is there a way to have it keep the posters and not revert back to the generic images?

Hi.  What generic images are you talking about?

ebr, I think he means custom graphics he's applied to his libraries get replaced which shouldn't happen.

Sorry, I should have posted an image... see below.  The collections library has the nice image with assorted posters of contents of the library.  Both the TV Series and Movies had this also after the scan and metadata refresh but reverted back to these images.

Hmm I get the opposite as libraries will have the default icons until a library scan happens to create the dynamic images.

What server version?

4.4.3.0

What I saw happen was during the metadata refresh (with replacing images) it created the dynamic images.  It stayed that way for an hour or so and then... poof.  Back to what you see above. I've repeated this process a few times to try and make it "stick".

Sounds like you still have your custom images files in there somewhere getting picked up.

We may need to see a server log for this then.  There shouldn't be any reason for dynamic image to be removed, other than to update them which happens I believe every 7-14 days.

If I edit the library and just delete the image under "edit images" and refresh again should this resolve it?

Is there a delete option if you went to edit images in these libraries?

[media-junkie 1]

Yes, these was a delete option.  The only image in there is the ones shown in my screenshot.

If there is a delete option you have that image assigned to that library for some reason.  If you delete it do you still have a issue?

I deleted those images (which I never remember adding... but I've been using this since the mediabrowser days so who knows).  After a rescan the dynamic images are now showing.

Great, thanks for the feedback.
