Welp, did some puttering around on this. Maybe I misunderstood something but I can definitively say, with 100% repeatability, if I haven't selected <Get artwork from external files...

So, ONLY <Create artwork based on contents of folder/playlist>?

I shouldn't also choose <Get artwork from external files>?

I ask because after I ran the <Maintain Playlist> I got this:
1286

Hi Peter. I am hoping you can point me in the right direction with this. What would be the ideal boxes to check in the <Metadata Retrieval Settings> to make the correct artwork appear.

#1 - The...

Truth. I love Mezzmo but the metadata retrieval settings are a downright mystery and getting the correct art to show up for a TV Series takes a lot of work and a generous helping of luck.

Yeah, it's not the same. TV Series and Playlists have been such a fickle beast for me that I wanted to share exactly what has worked for me and wanted to warn him about the one quirk I hadn't...

Unfortunately, it seems to be a glitch in Mezzmo. I also use TMM to generate .nfo files for TV and Movie files.

It works almost perfectly for movies (except when there is a <colon> in the movie...

I am just using the standard Conceiva (Mezzmo) profile and everything is in .mkv files and don't transcode anything.

The FireTV is the direction I am leaning. I tested the different network configurations and even benchmarked all of the HDDs on my server to make sure everything was performing correctly and I...

I have a few 4k titles (HDR and non-HDR) that I stream to a FireTV 3 and a FireTV Stick 4k. Everytime I stream a 4k file the video will freeze every 27-32 minutes. The audio will continue without...

OK, looks like the artwork folder has moved since the last time I jumped into it. In the Conceiva folder their are folders for both <Artwork> and <Mezzmo>. The <Artwork> folder seems to be no...

That's what I figured but it is missing in my installation. I will just manually add it and see how it goes.

Where is it?

I just did the upgrade and I can't find a folder labelled <userposter> anywhere.

Don't mean to completely hijack someone else's thread, but it's been a common occurrence for me. The poster/folder art in my library isn't internet generated. It only occurs when Mezzmo adds it...

V6.x is a dog. It is buggy, crashes frequently, has problems displaying folder art (the partial gray pictures like in your demo), random "invalid files" on playback, freezes with larger libraries,...

Well, I stand corrected. When did the change occur?

The Mezzmo app is based on the ExoPlayer, VLC has to be set as the default app.

So, you need to be in this under the $55 needed for a Raspberry Pi?

I think your budget needs a bump.

The best option that I ever used was a Chromebox that booted directly into Kodi with the Mezzmo plugin. I used a FLIRC and old DirecTV remote (RC64, RC 65, RC66). If I hadn't wanted an all-in-one...

Also, just to clarify, anything in "()" will be discarded as noise except for the year? So for this title:

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (HDR) (2020)

The...

Thanks Peter. Removing the "(HDR)" from the name of the poster file fixed the issue.

However, this reminded me of an issue that seems to have popped up since v6. Random poster files don't get...

"Noise Word" is something new to me for Mezzmo. Is anything in () going to be considered a noise word? I ask because as I go back through my library, I notice that most of my movies with something...

I am collecting a few HDR titles and have been labeling them "<movietitle> (HDR) (<year>)". That way they can be distinguished from Non-HDR versions of the same movie. For Example:

Wall-E (HDR)...

Active Playlist, please.

All of my TV Series have an .nfo file labelled tvshow.nfo or <foldername>.nfo that has a plot field. It would be gireat if Mezzmo would read this field and put it in the Description field for the TV...

I frequently have the "Getting video subtitles" pop up as well. It's not consistent but it is annoying when I have the feature turned off completely.
