denethor 90 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I was investigating Kodi with MySQL Wiki articles. Below option in advancedsettings.xml reminded me something funny:) <pathsubstitution> <substitute> <from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from> <to>smb://192.168.1.XXX/media/Thumbnails/</to> </substitute> </pathsubstitution> This means that you can share one thumbnail folder for all of your Kodi devices. In the mean time I have already redirected my Emby metadata folders to my NAS. I have checked the folder structures of both apps. Obviously they are far from being identical but I guess both stores virtually same data. So the question is, does Kodi add-on have any kind of control over Kodi thumbnail generation? Even if it doesn't is it possible to manipulate Kodi thumb links in the database afterwards and replace them with same files from Emby metadata folder? I know this is kind a overkill and definitely version 2.x kind of a request but it can serve the purpose of Emby being the center of user media libraries.

xnappo 1593 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Are you talking about collection thumbnails or individual show/movie thumbnails? If the latter, you really don't need to have those sitting in your filesystem anymore, just let Emby keep the copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so something wrong with my Kodi setups since I have thousands of thumbnail files in Kodi Appdata\Thumbnail folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcelveldt 736 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yes, that is Kodi cache... It caches all textures to a temp folder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Oh, yeah. Nothing we can do about that without changing Kodi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
