I do not want to store anything in the UnRaid server movie folders. Just the ISO is there. I was hoping all the images / tags would be stored locally on the pc?
Is there a setting I'm missing to store all of the data locally vs attempting to store it in the actual movie folder?
Welcome to the fun.
From the list of threads at the bottom of this Wiki entry, looks like you've got a lot of reading to do:
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Cover_Artbut your question is addressed here:
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Cover_Art#How_Images_Are_StoredFor video, cover art is always stored next to the file using the same filename as the video. For example, "Big Bang S01E11.mkv" will use "Big Bang S01E11.jpg" for cover art.
Sometimes a need arises to save cover art for a file that can not support artwork next to it. Imagine setting an image for a file on an optical disk. In these cases, the cover art is placed in the cover art folder.
Note the 2nd highlighted text in
italics, so there's some criteria that triggers MC to remote store video artwork. I don't know what that trigger is. That's one for those more knowledgeable than myself and fortunately for you, there are a fair few.
All the best. I'll watch this one to see what additional responses you get.
As an idle thought, I'd think that if this capability was enabled then the artwork location would probably be included in the
Sidecar File to provide MC direction to its location. If that wasn't part of the deal, then the library would need to record that data and store it internally (I'd expect).
