DarWun 267 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) I personally consider the feature to save metadata and images as hidden files to be a great addition to MediaBrowser. Is there any reason why the metadata folder that is created for TV show episode thumbnails cannot be automatically hidden as well?

Maleficarum 68 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You get a folder for episode thumbnails ? Mine get dumped in with the episodes. I'm running a series>season setup though if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarWun 267 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Weird. I'm running a series>season setup as well (as in I have a main folder for each Series containing individual subfolders for each Season). The first time I add an episode to a season subfolder, MediaBrowser creates a subfolder named "metadata" that contains a thumbnail for the episode. The thumbnail file name matches the episode file name. The thumbnail is hidden, but the subfolder is not. For each new episode added to the season a corresponding thumbnail will show up in the "metadata" subfolder when MediaBrowser scans the library. The only files that Mediabrowser adds to the root Season folder are the episode .nfo files, folder.jpg and other season related files (all of which are hidden by default). If I manually hide the "metadata" subfolder, it remains hidden on subsequent library scans that occur when new episodes are added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficarum 68 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Do you happen to have the old MB style metadata saving on do you ? I seem to remember a metadata folder being made in the old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 yea that's what he has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarWun 267 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 yea that's what he has Thanks guys. I'm a bit confused though. On the "Services" tab in the "Metadata" section of the console, I have set the preferred local metadata source as "Nfo" and ticked the box to set "Nfo" as the metadata saver for "Series", "Seasons" and "Episodes" media types. The box for "Media Browser xml" is unticked for each of them. Shouldn't that have changed things from the old to the new MB style metadata saving scheme? Just in case it is relevant, I am still using the "Media Browser xml" scheme for "Movie" media types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
