Serviio

When watching shows like Survivor or Hell's Kitchen the thumbnails create spoilers. You see far in advance which people have to been voted out from the shows. Is there any way to disable thumbnail generation in Serviio?

The images are part of the metadata, and there's no way to shut them off. I've found that not all players even show them. My Sony Blu Ray players have never shown any images. I can't say if the Playstation is the same. I used to have a Panasonic TV, and while it did show an image it was so tiny you couldn't see anything anyway. I've never seen a setting in any player I've used to turn the images on/off.

My LG OLED shows huge thumbnails with Serviio that even show different part of the video by previewing it. Huge spoilers, and probably the reason why I'll use an external player and Kodi instead of DLNA.

Yeah, I use Kodi with the Nvidia Shield on my two large screen TVs. You can adjust the view to show different sizes of images. I'd imagine you can find something that looks good for you. And the advantage with Kodi (at least on my Shield) is that nothing needs transcoding.

There is actually a setting in Serviio console to disable thumbnails, and it worked!

I never noticed that, thanks for the tip!
