Any way of getting rid of the extra movie posters for a movie.

Usually, large amounts of data for Plex is the result of the “Enable video preview thumbnails” option. This causes Plex to save massive numbers of thumbnail images taken from your movies. If disk space is at a premium, you may need to turn that feature off.

Was it ever on? Have you looked at the data files to see if they are thumbnail images? I can’t imagine poster images taking up that much space. Unfortunately, Plex has no way via the UI to remove unused posters (there are feature requests to add this). How many movies/TV shows in your library?

Well they said that they would look at features based on the votes, that’s why we vote for features. If that’s not the case then why have us ask for features if they have no intent on acting on it no matter how many votes it gets. And if there is a reason why not to add a feature say so, return th…

Anyone want to take odds on when we would get an answer from Plex on this…
