Thumbnails - how to stop them being created

  • 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\

  • 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
