Mixed Libraries question - Rubén Navarro López - 2024-08-26

Hi!, I wanted to ask if someone knows how to maintain the poster that I created to a folder in a Mixed Library.

For example, I have a Mixed Library for genres to easy manage genres on TV selection, but those folders change the poster once a week to the first movie of the list in alphabetical order.

Is not that hard to change the image once a week, but I would like to ask if I can make it stop.

Thanks!

None knows this? Slightly-frowning-face

The only thing I can think of is to put an image in the folder. I think it should be called "folder.jpg" or whatever extension the image is.

Unfortunately, the mixed library is currently an unmaintained legacy feature that is very buggy and is not recommended. The best course of action to avoid further issues is to separate it into different libraries in something like Anime (Library type Shows) and Anime Movies (Library type Movies).

Edit: ninja'd. Maybe there is a way after all?

Maybe.

I haven't tried, nor do I want have any mixed libraries, nor do I have any libraries structured in the way Ruben does so I can't say for certain.  But it's the only thing I can think of.

Hi!


I like mixed library even I know is not supported anymore because on Television, the Genre section is not that good as in PC, so I'll keep it until further updates.

And what are you suggesting exactly?
