Droyd01 0 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Hi, Cant find an answer to this anywhere. Attached is a screen shot that pretty much tells you what my problem is. How do I get rid of the .thumb icon. I suspect it has something to do with the way thumbs files are stored in relation to the media file. I can go through the directory and delete them, but they come back after a while. Appreciate some help.
PenkethBoy 2066 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 what OS is your emby server on? can you show a screenshot of the Show folder?
Droyd01 0 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 Sorry for the delay - I don't seem to be getting email alerts from this forum. OS is Windows 10 Screenshots attached.

Luke 40123 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Sorry, could have sworn..... Is that the series poster being shown because you do not have posters for the individual seasons?
GrimReaper 4159 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Is that the series poster being shown because you do not have posters for the individual seasons? Nope, I think his issue is that ".thumb" subfolder gets recognized as a "Season" folder and displayed as such in Series view.
GrimReaper 4159 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Where did that folder come from?Beats me, but based on the naming scheme, I'd assume some Kodi skin possibly? Edit: Did some googling, looks like NAS related issue, particularly Zyxel and QNAP generating same subfolders. Cheers Edited May 18, 2019 by GrimReaper76
Droyd01 0 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 It is on Zyxel NAS and much of my collection was on Kodi originally before switching to Emby.4

Luke 40123 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Strange that it would show up without episode files. @@Happy2Play can you reproduce?
Happy2Play 9453 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Strange that it would show up without episode files. @@Happy2Play can you reproduce? Yes I added a empty ".thumb" folder to an existing Series and it appeared as a season folder. Looks like you can add any named sub-folder to a identified Series and have it show up as a Season. content type TV Shows and Mixed Content
Luke 40123 Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 We can start ignoring the .thumb folder for the next release. For now you may want to just delete it.
Droyd01 0 Posted May 20, 2019 Author Posted May 20, 2019 Thanks everybody for the help. I have followed the instructions on the Zyxel NAS forum to suppress it generating this thumbs folder, deleted the existing rogue folders and rescraped my libraries. Hopefully that is it. I'll repost if they come back again.
