Folder thumbnails Cached and wont update?

WD Legacy Products WD TV Media Player

So in some of my folders that wont get a xml/metathumb from tvdb etc, ive had to make my own  default    “!folder.metathumb”  files…

Problem is the WDTV live hub CACHES the folder.metathumb and If I CHANGE it to another picture it will NOT update even after reboot’s etc.

The ONLY way I can get this to fix itself is to rename the folder and call it something else.

If I RENAME it BACK it still goes to the old thumbnail (even knoing the !folder.metathumb is a different picture)

Anyone have any thought’s/Idea’s on how to fix this ?

I figured this out (with help from another user) hidden files/.wdtv and then /thumbs and to delete the folder with the bad info :slight_smile:

Welcome to the Community. I am most glad this has been resolved.

This method hasn’t worked for me. I’m accessing my WD via WDLookup (WIFI network connection) and editing the files remotely. I have noticed that thumb files I delete are rather quickly replaced with duplicates. Where are these files coming from? And more importantly, should I be connecting directly to my WD hard drive via usb?

try overwriting them instead of deleting and replacing them

you’ve probably got your “get content info” set to “Auto”  … go to Setup > System > Media Library and change it to “Manual”

Notice the double slash after the http://image.tmdb.org/t/p

Not sure what needs to be fixed in the scrapper script but that is the problem

I just did a test ‘get content info’ for “Slema” on the WDTV and it works fine … info, poster and backdrops = ok

//  works fine on the WDTV (Firmware 1.02.17)
