How to stop The Movie Database from downloading episode thumbnails.

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Hello People,

 

So I am using the The Movie Database agent for my shows. Is there any way I can stop the agent to download episode thumbnails? They are very bad quality and I would prefer Plex to generate the thumbnails from the episodes themselves. Everything else I am happy with.

 

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

It seems that it will still download the episode thumbnail but the quality is much better.

 

EDIT 1

 

I have found a way.

 

You have to go to "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins\The-Movie-Database.bundle\Contents\Code" and edit "__init__.py" with notepad or any other code editor. At the bottom the following code needs to be removed.

            # Episode still.
            valid_names = list()

        if 'still_path' in tmdb_episode_dict and tmdb_episode_dict['still_path']:
          still_url = config_dict['images']['base_url'] + 'original' + tmdb_episode_dict['still_path']
          thumb_url = config_dict['images']['base_url'] + 'w154' + tmdb_episode_dict['still_path']
          valid_names.append(still_url)

          if still_url not in episode.thumbs:
            try:
              episode.thumbs[still_url] = Proxy.Preview(HTTP.Request(thumb_url).content)
            except:
              pass

        episode.thumbs.validate_keys(valid_names)</pre>
