Can I stop all the automatic thumbnail generation with Thumbgen?

How do I stop it from pulling all this stuff …

THANKS !!

Trial and error gave me best results (needing least modification of XML files) when I used the “movie info export” set for XBMC.  Unless someone can help me set up the “export using own thumbgen format” so I can end up with this in the XML … (as the only or entry)

movie name_sheet.jpg

I will just settle for XBMC format.

Thumbgen > Options > General >  Un-Tick Generate Thumbnail

To still Generate a Thumbnail (without the links) use a Spare / Extra Sheet Thumbnail Template.

eg. i use a 300x450 Thumbnail Template

So you will have …

Main Moviesheet [$M$N_sheet] > Creates your moviesheet (with links in the xml)

Extra Moviesheet [$M$N] > Creates a Thumbnail (Unfortunately this creates 2nd link in the XML … However on the Hub in Photo Settings … set the delay to 5 Minutes and it won’t display until 5 minutes has passed)

The Movie XML will then look like this …

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Thanks, Joey.

I would have marked this as “answered”, but didn’t see a button to do that.

@drizzt09

If you do that, then Moviesheets will not Display …

 

Hazmat96 is wanting to have Moviesheets Displaying

 

eg. from his original post

 

so I can just use one basic “backdrop” line like …
