I noticed LE11 nightlies haven't been updated for the Pi since the 15th. Has this been transitioned to LE12 now? Those show the newest build of 3/19. However those are aarch64.

Thanks!

Thanks for the code. I happened to come across that code in a qnap forum, but I have never used Putty or SSH, so I am trying to figure out how to do that first and if I am typing the above exactly or what. I tried another option of trying to find it through Total Commander as someone else said they were able to do, but no luck. I have disabled the appropriate stuff in Qfinder, so no new stuff is generated, but getting rid of the current stuff is my issue. I am a newbie with SSH.

One thing I don't understand is I have never had this issue until about a week ago, so I have no idea what caused it to just start happening.

I did try the code above as seen in the following Putty. I've SSH'd into my NAS then copied the code. I have no idea if it took or not because again I'm new to SSH and am not sure what tells me if the command worked or didn't work. It does say no such file or directory, but I did read that may be normal and perfectly fine.

I also tried this command I found as well.

rm -rf /share/Qmultimedia/*/.@__thumb
rm -rf /share/Qmultimedia/*/*/.@__thumb
rm -rf /share/Qmultimedia/*/*/*/.@__thumb
rm -rf /share/Qmultimedia/*/*/*/*/.@__thumb
rm -rf /share/Qmultimedia/*/*/*/*/*/.@__thumb

Again, pasted it into Putty, hit enter and again no idea if it took or not as it doesn't say anything.

I do still see the @__thumb folder under file manager in Kodi, so both commands probably didn't work.

If I can't figure out this SSH stuff I may try to just create a new folder in my NAS like "Multimedia Stuff" then copy everything over to that folder, delete "Multimedia" and then re-scan. Would be much more time consuming, but I am having no luck with this @__thumb nonsense that's already there.

Yep, QNAP TS-212 NAS. I'll try and search again. I tried searching .@__thumbs a few times and came up with nothing, but I'll try some variations. It's driving me nuts. I have like 90 files in one TV section. At one point it was creating a thumbnail for every movie but was just creating this so called "tom thumb" thumbnail in my movies section and I had no idea what the files were until manually deleting them. And they had the same file layout as above.

Looked like this...

I was wondering if anyone has seen this issue before as I am not sure why it started or how. When I scan my NAS on startup and Kodi looks for shows, it ends up adding multiple .@__thumb files in the Movies and or TV section of random shows/movies. So then it looks like I have 6 of the same file because it creates 5 more, when in reality I only have one. When it does this with TV shows, I have no idea which one the real file is until I select each one and wait for it to play. When it doesn't play, I delete that file.

I think it is coming from this .@__thumb folder as seen on the file manager picture of my NAS, but when I actually look on the actual NAS, that folder doesn't exist. I even have show hidden folders selected on my NAS.

I think I can solve this somehow by getting rid of that folder, but I can't seem to find it.

If you look at my NAS screenshot, you can see there is no .@__thumb folder. But if you look at the screenshot of the file manager picture, it's there.

When I actually delete the files from Kodi, they look like this...

nfs://http://192.xxx.x.xx/Multimedia/TV/(name of show)/.@__thumb/s800episodename.mkv

nfs://http://192.xxx.x.xx/Multimedia/TV/(name of show)/.@__thumb/s100episodename.mkv

nfs://http://192.xxx.x.xx/Multimedia/TV/(name of show)/.@__thumb/defaultepisodename.mkv

nfs://http://192.xxx.x.xx/share/MD0_DATA/Multimedia/TV/(name of show)/.@__thumb/s800episodename.mkv

nfs://http://192.xxx.x.xx/share/MD0_DATA/Multimedia/TV/(name of show)/.@__thumb/s100episodename.mkv

So I get 5 of these files along with the 1 real file because it's an .mkv extension. I'll then manually delete each one above when I find the real one. I just don't know why it's creating those and how to solve it. I was thinking scraper issue, but since there's a folder, that might not be the issue. Well, except that the scraper is seeing that folder and creating those files that don't exist.

I was going to do a fresh install since it does this every time I scan, but before I did, I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts, and hopefully the above makes some sense. I am running LE 11 Nightlies.

Quote from the_third_pi

I just updated to the most recent build (Jan 28) on my RPi400 and can confirm that wifi doesn't work.

At startup I saw failed to start iwd.service. Ethernet works as expected. This was working on the last nightly I was using from Jan 20 and also the one I tested from Jan 26. This is probably unrelated to the problem above, sorry.

log shows

Code

Dec 20 11:15:46.554163 Pi systemd[1]: iwd.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=6/ABRT
Dec 20 11:15:46.554634 Pi systemd[1]: iwd.service: Failed with result 'signal'.

Probably related to https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/7420

Same here. Just updated to nightly Jan 28 and I also get the iwd.service error. My connections screen is also blank. I can also confirm that the 26th build had no issues.

Quote from JoeAverage

the black popup says "no route to host"

-to me - it seem, to be something on your network side

switch LAN or wifi off and try again

if the error occurs try to ping the address:

behind the black popup window I can see something about an address. is it the one from the remote host ?

It seems that disconnecting the wired option on the Pi and just leaving wifi on fixed it. Not sure why this is, that both can't be on, but all of the artwork downloaded, refreshed, and no errors. I was also able to update add-ons and install them when those wouldn't update either.

Also just an FYI the network behind the window was my IP address and I just erased it. Wasn't anything with the remote host.

I'm not sure why I didn't think to disable the wired network and just leave wireless on, but like I said, I didn't think it would be an issue. Appears it was. Is this something where you can't have both on?

I wanted to see if anyone had any issues with the movie scrapers. On my Rpi4, running the latest nightly as well as previous ones, none of the movie databases scrape. Not sure if this is just me since I haven't seen this issue posted, or not.

When I update the movie library with The Movie Database and it scans for new content, I get the pop up box that says... Couldn't download information. Unable to connect to remote server. Would you like to continue scanning?

When I switch over to scanning movies using The Movie Database Python, I get... The screenshot with error shown. Both wireless and wired connection are active, so it isn't that.

Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. If I need a log, please let me know.

Thanks!
