stephenthompson Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hello all, this is my 1st post here! Can anyone tell me how to stop Emby from creating tons of .bif files in my media movie folder? I may have turned it on by accident. I am running Emby on my Mac Pro (black cylinder) and running Mac OS Mojave. Thanks so much in advance! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hi, this is only happening because you turned on thumbnail generation and you also enabled the thumbnails to be saved in your media folders. What were your expecting that the option would do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenthompson Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Thanks Luke for the fast reply! Can you direct me to where I can disable this feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 It would be in The same place you turned it on, in the settings for each emby library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenthompson Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 @ Hmmm, Ok, it is doing it for my main Library, but I cannot see where to disable this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 You have to look in your library configuration, from the dashboard. Scroll down to thumbnail images. After you disable it, run a library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenthompson Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Sorry for my ignorance, I do not see thumbnail images in the Libraries tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Click on a library in Emby library setup and then you'll see settings for that library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 What could we have done to make this easier to locate? Why did you originally turn this on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenthompson Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 I think there are many sub categories and various locations for setting, so maybe a central control area similar to Plex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 What do you mean by central control area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenthompson Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 It seems that there are more areas than Plex to make setting changes, but I will learn where everything is.\ I like Emby more than Plex though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 What exactly do you mean by more areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Ok yes I see what you highlighted in your screen. Yes I'm sure that can be reduced. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps being a little less of an ass-hat in your initial response would be an awesome start. I had the same question. I can assure you I didn't (knowingly) turn the feature on. Had to scroll fairly down the thread before someone else provided a succint, helpful answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
