Serviio

Hello Everyone,

I have the latest version of Serviio (2.0). For audio and video it *always* shows the wrong thumbnail for the song or video being played.

I play my Audio though my Yamaha receiver. I connect to Serviio and play the music and the thumbnail that shows is always the wrong thumbnail. It seems random as to which thumbnail it shows. Sometimes it seems to show the same thumbnail for all the songs in a folder. Other times the thumbnail will change for each song but it is never the correct one.

For video, I play videos through my PlayStation 3 and it always shows ONE thumbnail - Some movie i don't even have, called "DschungleKind" - which seems to be some German movie (trnaslates to Jungle Child ).

Can I delete all the thumbnails and force it to recategorize all of them?

For videos, there is a button in the Serviio console to refresh metadata, and I believe that includes images. For audio, I believe you have to move the files to a different location, then move them back to force a meta refresh. But before that you need to ensure the files are named correctly for retrieving online metadata. For movies, you can add the year in parentheses (star wars (1977).mkv) but I'm not certain where audio metadata comes from. See this page for further information.

I was hoping it would be as simple as deleting an "ini" file or editing a config file. I've pressed the button to rebuild the video metadata before in the past but it seems to make no difference.

Moving all my files to a difference location and moving them back is a bigger task than I was hoping for.

Nah, everything is stored in a Derby database. No files to be edited. But if you move the files into a different folder on the same drive, they should move in seconds, since you aren't actually moving them to a different hardware device.
