How can I change incorrect thumbnails without deleting the whole database ?
Rescan video metadata does not do this.

In most cases the wrong thumbnails are created when using online sources to look for suitable images.
The results are good in the cases where an image for a real movie or series is requested , but in most other cases the results are often strange - sometimes surprising, but not always funny.

Just delete C:\Program Files\Serviio\library\cache\thumbnails.data & C:\Program Files\Serviio\library\cache\thumbnails.key and they will rebuild.

I deleted the files mentioned, in my case on a BSD system ( /usr/local/etc/serviio/library/cache/.... ) and restartet the system.
Makes no difference at all.

The mediabrowser still shows the wrong images, the mentioned files are not re-created.

Could it be that there is a cache somewhere else ?

Then those are the images provided by the rss or plugin.

I've found its because of the metadata. BESURE that the naming is done correctly. If you need to put the year in, doso, that helps immensely. http://serviio.org/index.php?option=com ... icle&id=12 The link to the movie and TV db is on that page. HTHs

Can you get a screenshot of what you see?
