How can I completely disable thumbnails for specific video library? Every time I want to watch a MotoGP race the outcome is already spoiled by the thumbnail. The thumbnail shows the winner or the outcome of the race.

Can someone advise me the settings to completely remove thumbnails? I disabled the video thumbnail but then still have a normal thumbnail. Attached are thumbnails of the last 2 races.

Same concern here… how to disable image thumbnails the same way we can disable the video thumbnails ? Can we vote for this feature ?  
The image thumbnails would be fine if they are blurred for unwatched episodes, just like [https://www.betaseries.com](https://www.betaseries.com)

EDIT : OK just found the feature request… [[Feature Request] Option to disable auto-generated thumbnails (sports spoilers)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-option-to-disable-auto-generated-thumbnails-sports-spoilers/110096)  
Request raised since 9 years omg!! Guys what’s going on with this simple feature requested by so many people ?
