Emby

Emby behaves like Jellyfin for posters: use the folder-agent / local-image flow today; a native plugin is planned.

aioratings poster URL:

https://api.aioratings.com/{key}/{idType}/poster-default/{id}.jpg

{idType} = imdb / tmdb / tvdb; poster-default = the built-in style or a profile; {id} = tt…, movie-{id} / tv-{id}, or a TVDB id. Full rules in URL shape & idTypes.

Today: folder-agent / local images

Section titled “Today: folder-agent / local images”
  1. For each item, fetch its aioratings poster and write it into the item’s media folder as the local primary image — poster.jpg (or folder.jpg) next to the movie file, and poster.jpg in the series folder for TV.
  2. In Emby, configure the library so local images are preferred and image fetchers do not overwrite them (Library → (your library) → Advanced / Metadata), then rescan.
  3. Refresh metadata so Emby picks up the local poster.jpg.

Automate fetch-and-place with Kometa or the *arr webhook flow. aioratings only serves the image.

Later: native plugin (planned)

Section titled “Later: native plugin (planned)”

A native Emby plugin is on the roadmap but not available yet. Use the folder-agent flow above for now.
