Purge Thumbnails?

[negativzeroe 80]

So you know how you can extract chapter thumbnails and you can disable that? Can you purge existing somehow or do I need to delete metadata and rescan?

Sort of a difficult one as chapter images only reside in \metadata\library in a id folder so on would need to know the id folder for the item in reference, unless you did a blanket explorer search for "chapters", and delete all the returned folders.

Is it that easy? Idk the naming convention but I can run a find command and pipe it into an exec delete if I know what I'm looking for. I only saw poster and bif files when I did a brief browse.

What was the solution?

[negativzeroe 80]

What he said above.

The command I ran was (from metadata folder):

 

find . -name "chapter*" -exec rm {}/ \;

Question though, is it safe to delete cache? Or cache/images?

 

Edit. I take that back. Chapters images are still there.

You can save chapter images with your data.

Sorry you can save interval images with data not chapter images.  So if you are configured for Chapter images they will go to \metadata\library\xx\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\chapters.

Yes I deleted these and just now confirmed there are none with the find command. But I just went to a movie from before I made the change to disable and they are still there. Images and all.

Ok images are now gone but chapters still exist.

Not sure if a Refresh will do it as the database is looking for all the images you deleted.  So I am pretty sure the item has to be removed and re-added.  Or manual changes in the database, since there is a Chapters table.
