Sort photos by filename - how?

[elfranko 0]

I'm running Emby server on freenas (latest version of the plugin). Using both Roku and an LG TV as a display client.

I have a large photo collection, organized into folders & subfolders. Within each subfolder photos have filenames as follows:

xx_yyyy.jpg

Such as:
AA_the_cat.jpg
AB_the_dog.jpg
CA_the_rabbit.jpg
etc

Some, not all, of the photos contain various tags, metadata.

The embedded tags metadata appears to cause mayhem for Emby. When I view the "title" metadata within emby for the JPG files, some of them show the filename, and some show the embedded tags. Hence the emby "titles" contain a mix of filenames and tags, which results in a chaotic viewing order when displayed by the client (Roku, TV, etc).

How do I either: (a) display images sorted by filename, or (b) tell emby server to only use the filename for it's "title" emby metadata?

Thanks!

Hi, we don't' currently have a sort by filename, but it's something we plan to add. Thanks for the feedback.
