Unnecessary and problematic suffix for .bif generation

[Satanasss 11]

Hi,

I’d like to bring up an issue regarding .bif file naming.
This isn't a problem for movies, but for TV series, the inclusion of the suffix (-320-10) causes major issues when using tools like TMM.
For movies, the suffix is removed upon renaming.
Furthermore, it serves no purpose, as Emby works perfectly and recognizes the .bif file without it.
Could you please remove this suffix for movies and for TV series ?
Here is my TMM ticket: https://gitlab.com/tinyMediaManager/tinyMediaManager/-/work_items/3316

Thanks in advance!

Hi, we do this because it helps the server know the resolution and interval of the bif images.

Can that not be embedded in the .bif files meta data?

 The format of the file is very strict and there is no place to put arbitrary data. But the main point of putting the data in the file name is performance. It means you don't have to open up the file to know what it is, and if it could be used by certain clients or not.

Thanks for the feedback.

I completely understand; personally, I don't experience any issues or slowdowns without the suffixes.
Still, couldn't we have an option to choose whether to use suffixes or not ?

Best regards.
