The Image Asset Directories can be used to update the posters and backgrounds of collections, movies, shows, seasons, and episodes.
To use multiple Image Asset Directories you have to use a list. Comma-separated values will not work. By default, the program will look in the same folder as you config.yml for a folder called assets.
There are two different options when it comes to how the program looks at the files inside you Asset Directories. These can be toggled between by using asset_folders
.
Image Type | Image Path With Foldersasset_folders: true |
Image Path Without Folderasset_folders: false |
---|---|---|
Collection/Movie/Show poster | assets/ASSET_NAME/poster.ext |
assets/ASSET_NAME.ext |
Collection/Movie/Show background | assets/ASSET_NAME/background.ext |
assets/ASSET_NAME_background.ext |
Season poster | assets/ASSET_NAME/Season##.ext |
assets/ASSET_NAME_Season##.ext |
Season background | assets/ASSET_NAME/Season##_background.ext |
assets/ASSET_NAME_Season##_background.ext |
Episode poster | assets/ASSET_NAME/S##E##.ext |
assets/ASSET_NAME_S##E##.ext |

By default, the program will only look inside the Image Asset Directories for Images when it runs a collection from a Metadata File. When it does this by default it will only look for the collection images, but you can have it look for images of every item in the collection if you add item_assets: true
to the collection config.
If you're using asset_folders
set to true you can also nest movie/show folders inside an Image Assets Collection Folder that contains that movie/show.
You can set assets_for_all
to true to have the program, after your run, check the Image Asset Directories for Images of every item in your library.
Here's an example config folder structure with an assets directory with asset_folders
set to true and false.
