Hi m4x1m,

Thanks for the addon

I just tried it on my thumbnails that took up 4GB.

Afterwards, it became 1.3GB

However, it deleted(moved) all of my music fanart, artist thumbs and album covers, it also deleted all of the tv show episode thumbs. For the movies, it was interesting, only the movies that I added to the library within the last 4 months or so had everything deleted, but the older ones were untouched.

I am using mysql on frodo 12.2 on win, but my thumbs are all local in the xbmc user folder

The only thing I can think of regarding the movies is that I periodically export the artwork in separate files. I hadn't done that in about 4 months. So all the movies that had their artwork exported seemed to be spared, but all the newer ones whose artwork was not exported yet, ended up getting deleted.

Any thoughts?

Try this, but consider this release as a very beta version.
I changed the method of comparing, now the script compares the json queries with the data of textures db and the thumbnails folder, this approach is very useful if you delete something from the library, the script removes the related thumbnails. The pattern option is used for keep the extrafanarts, logos and cdarts (this images are not stored in the database) and can be expanded with others keywords.

Please be careful, this version is not fully tested, make a backup!

Code:

v1.0.7:
- This is a beta version. Full changelog available in the next release.

Hi m4x1m, thanks for your work with this addon, my userdata dir is 12GB and I need to do something about it.

I keep getting errors when runnng the addon:

Seems like it erros because the files do not exist. Before the above error the same was happening with another file and creating a empty dummy file with the same name allowed the addon to move on. After selecting which files I want to keep I am returned to the main GUI but am only able to select Exit. I cn post a full log if required, I havent done so now because its too big for xbmclogs.

Openelec 3.1.5 + 1.0.7 addon
any suggestions?

Hello , I have a problem with this addon. I did a cleaning yesterday and from that moment I get no thumbnails not even fanartsin the library.I tried to rescan the library and downlaod manually some thumbs and fanarts but nothing seems to happens.
Why?

Hi,
im using the last version. 1.0.7 and i have same problem.. All is "cleared, i mean all is deleted on the thumbnails folders except 20 files more or less.

I have the XBMC in portable mode with the Mysql databases in a NAS. That databases uses its own name because i use several profiles for each user.

I use the path substitution option in advanced settings, although the textures13.db is in local folder.

What must i do now? I mean.. all was cleared but is a test profile..

There is options to configure the plugin or some *.cfg file must be added manually? or only i need to wait next release?

thanks

Sorry for the delay, I'm very busy with my job. This bug will be fixed in the next release.

I would need some more information. Post a debug log the next time.

Could you show me the part of the advanced settings file with your path substitution, thanks?

New Version
script.thumbnailscleaner-1.0.8.zip

This release is highly recommended, I have fixed many important bugs.

Code:

v1.0.8:
- Added ability to select multiple fields when doing a query to database for delete.
- Added ability to select multiple fields for keep textures before the cleaning process will be completed.
- In the configuration settings now you can add a pattern for exclude some strings from the process.
- Fixed some other important bugs.

Thanks. Seems to work faster than the previous version. One thing I don't get though, in the dialogue I see that thetvdb.com is queried for references to files. I don't know if they'll be happy with that many queries in such a short amount of time and I don't understand why. If this verification is necessary, can't you verify against local files? I personally do a backup now and then. By choosing separate files I have all the artwork I need stored next to my media, can you scan those instead of the files on the internet.

I also have a small request, is it possible to exclude music from the thumbnails cleaner (or make checkboxes for movies, tvshows, music etc). I don't have artwork for music, but thumbnails cleaner is checking all my songs which takes up a lot of time for nothing.

Edit: I'm probably reading it wrong, because otherwise it's now deleting files from thetvdb.com

The script checks your thumbnails locally by reading the path stored in the art table, if you change tv thumbs manually (like me) the old scraped thumbs from thetvdb.com will be deleted as textures in the Textures13.db and as files in your folder. No external communication is involved.

I also have a small request, is it possible to exclude music from the thumbnails cleaner (or make checkboxes for movies, tvshows, music etc). I don't have artwork for music, but thumbnails cleaner is checking all my songs which takes up a lot of time for nothing.

Yes in the next release I add the options in the addon settings to exclude the checks.

Sorry, but I don't find any lines about Thumbnails Cleaner, maybe you've pasted a wrong log

This sounds good, anyway I tested the script only with Frodo, when Gotham will released as final version I will work to find differences and fix possibly new problems!

Thanks for this mate -- exactly what I've been looking for. With the latest release however, I don't get a response from any of the options on the menu. I click the buttons for each option, and nothing happens. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Thanks.

Never mind my post above -- looking at the log file it would appear the process starts, but there's no visual inidication that the plugin starts -- at least not in the skin I'm using (Arctic II).
