On matching one of my imports to SH030178570000, it displays a generic TV Show banner.
I figured out how to override the preview image with a capture I made from the video, but how do I override that generic banner?
Going to compete with Plex...if only it was not 8$ but 5$ or maybe 2 months gratis with yearly payment 
It is

Playing around with the imports....I have a movie that is having a hard time matching
First:
A Bad Moms Christmas.2017.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4
Then I removed the periods
A Bad Moms Christmas 2017 1080p BluRay x264.mp4
Then removed X264
A Bad Moms Christmas 2017 1080p BluRay.mp4
Then removed 1080p
A Bad Moms Christmas 2017 BluRay.mp4
Then finally BluRay
A Bad Moms Christmas 2017.mp4
Which then finally found a match. Looks like I have a lot of cleanup to do in my movies folder.
I am getting this error
C:\WINDOWS\system32>curl -XPUT http://10.0.1.4:8089/dvr/scanner/paths/movies?path=\\swemby\emby media\movies\movies
truecurl: (6) Could not resolve host: media\movies\movies
My assumption is it doesn't like the space in 'emby media'
Yeah I tried doing quotes but I could not get it to work
Try URL encoding the space in the path (ie, use %20 rather than (space)) when submitting the path. Or mount the remote path locally, and use the local mount point (preferably named without spaces in the path).
You've Got Mail has the PICTURE of the two actors (I call this a ICON - I guess wrong name). Notice it is on the Apple TV and also in the lookup to fix the matching. But it is not in the Web UI Recordings for any of the shows including this one. You know I selected it because it shows on the Apple TV.
What you are calling an "Icon" is usually referred to as the "Poster" image. The other image is a screen capture of a random scene of the recording. That screen capture is present for all recordings when you select the "Recordings" entry from the "Recordings" tab of the DVR web UI. (That screen capture is also used as the image for episodes of a series when viewed on the clients.)
If I understand your comment correctly, you want the "Imports" section to behave more like "Movies" than "Recordings." Would that be an accurate statement?
Yes... Actually, I did not even look at the Movies Section. That section does reduce the problem since I can look there instead of going in the other room to see the change. But would be nice when I select a movie icon in the imports section it shows that I changed it correctly right where I changed it. But I guess not a big deal.
@racameron is correct. That's just the "unmatched movies" section, which is set to show the thumbnail image, since unmatched movies don't have posters. The rest of the UI shows the poster.
This is early days of all of this and things will be cleaned up, but I hope that settles the confusion in what you're seeing.
That is not what I was saying. I am talking about the "matched movies" under the imports section. See my picture above. You have "Imports" and under that you have "unmatched" and "movies". The movies is the "matched" but they do not show the Poster. You have to go above imports to the Movies section to see the posters of those that are matched.
I agree...I wish it would show the posters for the movie instead of the random scene.
BTW... I really like the direction you guys are taking Channels. Live TV/DVR is great but I use Plex for everything else.
Genre ....
Under the Web UI you have Recordings and then Shows and Movies. In the Movies section you have it broken out by Genre. I would like more of them as you move forward. Plex maybe has too many for my needs. But I would like to see at least "Kids" and "Comedy" and "Drama". I think those are the main ones for me. Also, I understand why you are using the section "Recordings" but maybe another Major Section would be better. But that is not a big deal just giving some feedback while you are working on it.
It's just early debug views for now, don't worry about it. What you see isn't going to be final UI.
It's too early for comments on UI on any of this stuff. The focus right now is the movie matching on import and playback.

Fair enough.
Your source data is odd for me. Another example for mismatch data is on all of my Toy Story movies. Toy Story 4, for example, has 5 entries that do not match before the correct one is shown for me to select.
Currently the scanner expects the filename to be "Toy Story 4 (2019).mp4". Most of the examples we received in the research thread were in this format, so that's all we tested with.
It would be helpful if you could post 15-20 example filenames from your library into the RESEARCH: Media Library Organization thread.
When you add support for the [1080p] will I need to do anything? Also, I assume you are adding support for any thing with (...) and [...]. Like [720p] and other things.
I.E. Will I need to do this?
