Logos302 86 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) The latest Beta 3.0.5287.19943 is not showing my predefined icons for Collections, TV, Movies,Music, and Channels. Double check they are configured in the meta data section with my image as the primary. Seems to just be those 5. Adult,Photos,Anime, Games, and Books are all fine. They appear to be using the default icons (that come with the server), I went so far as to delete them. They were marked as thumb. If Server log is need I will upload it for you. *edit forgot this is in the web client, the other clients seem to be fine.

Happy2Play 8296 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I have noticed the same in the web client, and icons are showing properly on my Roku. Noticed the folders seem to be looking for icons here now (\\HOME\MediaBrowser-Server\ImagesByName\views\xxxxxxxx) Have one working in web client looking here (\\HOME\MediaBrowser-Server\root\default\xxxxxxx) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37100 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I mentioned this in the last release. These customizable views on the home screen are a new thing, and once we've completely figured them out then the other apps will be using them too. They are not the same thing as your media folders. (Yes, the metadata manager needs to make this more obvious). If you want the layout to be based on your media folders, then click the edit pencil next to My Views on the home screen, uncheck all the boxes and click Save. Then once you get back on the home screen, you'll see the plain media folders. But if you choose to use the views, they're not the same thing, and, as of right now, they have their own images. Mapping them to media folders in order to share the same images is not as trivial as it sounds, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danee 57 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've seen it too in the beta, and the library buttons (smaller colored ones with the icons) from the current release/beta track seem to be gone, too bad, will they be back as an option. On smaller screens these smaller buttons give a better experience in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Sorry I must be missing something @@Luke how does that explain why the media icon that I have chosen doesn't display. Sorry if this is obvious, but I don't get it. You go in the meta manager and select and icon shouldn't that icon show in the web client or any client for that matter? Before the beta IE the release version it all worked as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danee 57 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yea, they can come back. Thanks, that would be great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well that's what i mean about how the metadata manager needs to make this easier, and it will. But for now, use the mouse overlay flyout and click the pencil edit button. the metadata manager is showing the raw media folders, not the virtual views. ok I think I get it now.

Is there a combination that someone has used for the other buttons to get these ones to display normally? None of the settings I have tried have worked.
