Cover Art plugin configuration doesn't work in Emby Theatre

[ReadySalted 9]

Changes with this plugin can be made with a browser but in Theatre the loading icon keeps spinning after I choose default profile and nothing is properly clickable. The right side of the screen also shifts when in that screen but that's nothing major.

Not sure if this would be a plugin issue but reproducing the issue in ET (3.0.15), the server log shows this.

Thanks for reporting. We'll take a look.

After upgrading the Emby server to the latest version, the Cover Art plugin is not excluding the libraries in my Ignore Folders list.

Hi there, please go over an example. Thanks.

[swandruski 12]

I had my Cover Art plugin set up to ignore the folders with music, but not movies. I think this happened after upgrading to the latest Emby server version, but I'm not sure since I've been busy with work for the last few months, but several months ago my music folders did not have the "CD case" graphics, which is what I want. Now they do. The ignore folders are still there in the plugin settings telling it to ignore the folders with music, but the "CD case" graphics is there when I look at my music library.

I'm on version 4.6.4 of the server and version 2.0.09g of the Android TV app on an nVidia Shield.

@Luke

I just tested this by adding my music library to the exclude folder list in the CoverArt plugin and the files folders aren't being ignored.

[ebr 16169]

All CA is doing is comparing the path provided to the beginning of the path of each item so, if something with how items are reporting their path has changed, then that could affect this.

[ebr 16169]

If you've setup the "Optional Network Path" on your items, be sure you are using that path in CA...

[Carlo 4560]

Here's my settings when testing which I did a copy/paste.

[Luke 42077]

How does the web app compare?

[Carlo 4560]

[ebr 16169]

Yeah, the app wouldn't make any difference as we're talking about CoverArt here.

I'm assuming this is related to the music changes in 3.6.  Albums are now virtual items so they no longer have a path and, thus, don't satisfy that restriction in CoverArt.  The solution would be to configure the "Album" treatment as "Ignore".

[Carlo 4560]

That makes total sense.  Thanks!

I'm pushing a plugin update to prevent this exception from filling up the log.

So how does a user fix this? How do I configure the "Album" treatment as "Ignore"?

Thanks @ebr. That's working nicely.
