mythofechelon 32 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I was just looking at the episode list of Hannibal season 3 to see how many episodes there were left and saw some major spoilers in the thumbnails which made me think that it would be a good idea if there was an option to hide thumbnails for unwatched episodes Thanks. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldFiNNger 1 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I agree. The Kodi player allows this feature already, and is available in the skins settings of certain custom skins (if you don't want to go through the trouble of manually configuring it. Try the Cirrus Ex skin in the meantime, and you should see the option to enable this feature under the skin's specific settings section (subsection named "settings" in the Appearance section of Kodi's Settings).

funwithmedia 352 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm brand new to Emby, but does the feature in Emby Theater (Windows Desktop) under Settings -> Default Skin -> "Enable Anti-Spoiler Features (hide details for episodes beyond the first unwatched)" do what you want/need? It seems like in theory that should be aiming for what you're wanting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like in theory that should be aiming for what you're wanting. Yes but only in Theater, and only on the season screen. What he's asking for is a universal feature throughout all the apps, and I think it's a nice idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1010 19 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Yes I hate the spoilers from episode images/thumbnails too! I'd prefer to only see them after an episode has been marked as Watched (and before that it should act is if there is no image to load and show a default). But since that feature doesn't exist, my nuclear option was to setup Emby not to download episode thumbnails at all. You can do this by: Server Manager > Library > Metadata > Select "Episodes" from the "Customize for media type" dropdown > Deselect "Primary" in the "Image Settings" section > Save & Restart Emby will stop downloading episode spoiler images going forward, but they will still exist for your current episodes. If anyone knows a way to clear out the existing ones without doing it manually, please let me know. I've tried deleting the metadata folder but it regenerates. (I was finally able to accomplish deleting all episode images, but it required writing a custom script to use the API) Edited March 24, 2017 by adam1010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8250 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) do you know where this option is in the newest version of Emby? Thanks Well you are disabling the ability to get episode images, but go to each TV library (Dashbaord-Library) and enable Show Advanced settings and scroll down to Episode image fetchers and disable each provider. Only applies to new media. Edited June 2, 2019 by Happy2Play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus 430 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Yes but only in Theater, and only on the season screen. What he's asking for is a universal feature throughout all the apps, and I think it's a nice idea. 2 years and nor any progress in uniforming this, nor any hint in realizing this "nice idea" here and to top it all, anti spoiler feature was completely removed from ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37019 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I think it is a great idea for the future - as a unified setting shared by all apps and not built for just a single app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondertje 10 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Was just about to make a thread about this, glad I searched first. Yes - I want this! Sometimes there are major spoilers in the thumbnails. I currently just try to avoid looking at them, it works but it's inconvenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amb13 17 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Is there any progress on this? Even just putting "next up" for a show on it's homepage in a text list would be a lot better than now. Now if you go into a show page you see like 6 episodes worth of thumbnails which could spoil far into the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amb13 17 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Any updates on this? Like just replace the episode image with thumb or backdrop for unwatched episodes (like it actually is on the front page for continue watching). Would also be good to hide the episode summary for unwatched episodes aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blei 5 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Can this get priortized into an upcoming release? @Luke I'm not sure what needs to be done to make this a reality, but it's been pretty upsetting accidentally seeing spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4223 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) So as a quick proof of concept - this is not that hard to do - I think it's just a matter of 'getting to it' with the other workloads. The correct way to do this is just to apply the Blur filter to the displayed chapter images output - you would not want to do this for OSD thumbnail images. However, as I don't have access to the core code (lol), I did a quick mock up :- I created two bif files - one using the standard extraction method - ProcessRun 'quick-extract-imageseries' Execute: C:\Emby-Server\system\ffmpeg.exe -f matroska -threads 1 -skip_interval 10 -copyts -i file:"\\media\Films 4K\Skyfall (2012)\Skyfall (21012) - Remux-2160p DV HDR DTS HD-MA.mkv" -an -sn -vf "scale=w=320:h=180,format=yuv420p,eq=contrast=0.9:gamma=0.95:saturation=1.8" -vsync cfr -r 0.1 -f image2 "C:\Emby-Server\programdata\cache\temp\3a8d625cb40644ccae35efba883e2967\img_%05d.jpg" and a second using the ffmpeg Gaussian Blur feature to Blur the image .. ProcessRun 'quick-extract-imageseries' Execute: C:\Emby-Server\system\ffmpeg.exe -f matroska -threads 1 -skip_interval 10 -copyts -i file:"\\media\Films 4K\Skyfall (2012)\Skyfall (21012) - Remux-2160p DV HDR DTS HD-MA.mkv" -an -sn -vf "gblur=sigma=100:steps=1,scale=w=320:h=180,format=yuv420p,eq=contrast=0.9:gamma=0.95:saturation=1.8" -vsync cfr -r 0.1 -f image2 "C:\Emby-Server\programdata\cache\temp\3a8d625cb40644ccae35efba883e2967\img_%05d.jpg" The only extra bit is "gblur=sigma=100:steps=1" Result : So if watched status = No (and you have set this as a per user / library option I'm presuming) - then you get to see the blurred chapter files : If watched status = Yes - then you get to see the normal chapter files : There will be some work involved to ensure the cached versions don't show. If there is only a single user, then you could maybe fudge it and just swap around the bif files once the film/show is played - but that is very clunky ...

ebr 14904 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I would think we would just use the series thumb in this case instead of trying to do something like blur... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would look pretty ugly imo .. repeated images are not nice to look at. Alternatively, don't show the chapters row at all if you have the 'no spoiler' option turned on. After all, why would anybody want to jump to a chapter on a show they have not seen before ? Edited October 15, 2021 by rbjtech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
