Thumbnails - how to stop them being created

LybsterKodi · August 21, 2022 at 3:13 PM

Running 20/08/2022 nightly on RPi4, using Local information only with .nfo and .jpg files for each video

I've turned off Download actors thumbnails & Extract thumbnails from video files.

However, when I backed up and copied the tar over to my Windows PC I have c160MB of thumbnails.

1. Is this a LibreElec or a Kodi question

2. How do I stop the thumbnails being produced

3. Am I safe to just delete storage\.kodi\userdata\Thumbnails\

yes.

and you need to delete:

/storage/.kodi/userdata/Database/Textures13.db

too

next time the box boots or when you open pictures in you picture folder the thumbnails are generated again
