Stop Thumbnail Creation for Audio, Video and Photos

WD Legacy Products My Book Live
1

Hi,

I want to stop thumbnail creation for all files. I still want to be able to stream video to my TV, WD TV Live etc.

I read the below forum article and tried to enter the commands given and it came up with error messages as shown in red at the end. No linux expertise. Please help. Thanks

http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/Hidden-wdmc-directories-created-by-mcserver-and-photodbmerger/td-p/682091

Trying to enter the following commands.

SSH to the device and lets stop the two services:

1. 

/etc/init.d/wdmcserverd stop

/etc/init.d/wdphotodbmergerd stop

to keep it from restarting after a reboot 

update-rc.d wdphotodbmergerd disable

update-rc.d wdmcserverd disable

  1. head over to /etc/samba and

mkdir no

mv  smb-global_veto.conf no

Basically this hides the veto file from Samba, allowing the following hidden files to show up in Windows Explorer (.nflc_data, .wdmc and .twonky) 

  1. service samba restart

What am i doing wrong?

MyBookLive:~# /etc/init.d/wdmcserverd stop
-bash: /etc/init.d/wdmcserverd: No such file or directory
MyBookLive:~# etc/init.d/wdmcserverd stop
-bash: etc/init.d/wdmcserverd: No such file or directory
MyBookLive:~# /etc/init.d/wdphotodbmergerd stop
-bash: /etc/init.d/wdphotodbmergerd: No such file or directory
MyBookLive:~#

You’re using commands intended for a whole different product.  The My Book Live and My Cloud aren’t the same.
