3.01.19 - Changes Folder Thumbnail Automatically??

I cannot seem to get to that page to read the report - keeps telling me access denied - can you tell me why?

hey,

    not sure how your getting your pics for you movies so ill assume you are using the built-in scraper.

The simplist way to avoid the dreaded folder icon change is this:

                                                  When you use the scraper to load in your pics and information ,simply change the .metathumb file to a .jpg .

it is a step most dont want to deal with,but it takes about 2 sec. per file to do and is much faster than using Tgen or another program to manually insert metadata.Just make sure you change the file extension before the hub rescans your library because it will replace your folder icon with first .metathumb it sees.

                       not the perfect solution ,but hope this helps.

Really did not want to rename all metathumbs, I only change the ones on the folders I needed fixed to 1.metathumb and that worked for me, I had tried _.metathumb and !folder.metathumb, folder.jpg etc.. and nothing worked for me till this.

I have had my WDTVLIVE hub for a more than a year now. I have a drive connected by USB to the WD and I also have another drive connected via network. Both drives have movie folders with a mix of AVI MKV MP4 movies. All of the folders with movies have thumb nail JPG of the movie that I found on the web and put in the folder myself. But as of the last firmware update, I have notice many of my thumb nails have been replaced by other pictures. They are always for the correct movie, but now they have thumbs from other countries and languages. Plus many of my folders now have a 'backdrop' folder with art for the movie. It shows up in detail view on the WDTVLive. It also has created xml files for many of the movie folders. But not all. How is this happening and why only some of my movies and not all have been changed like this?

I had Media Library turned on and Get Content Info set to Auto for a day so that I could try out play lists for my music, but I found it too slow so I set it back to the normal way I have it which is Off and Manual only.

I see you are also having problems with DVD Folders not wanting to display the Thumb nail art. Did you ever get this resolved? If so please let me know what you did to get it to work. I too am having the same problem and I have tried tech support with no luck. My Personal Email address is ShapeShifterBM@hotmail.com reply to me on this with a title of WDTV. I would like to get with you personally to see what you have tried and to get a list of others that have this problem to force WD to address this issue.
