Disable "Settings => Movies => Files and Sources => File Naming => Extrafanarts / Extrathumbs"

The source for extrafanarts and extrathumbs is the same: fanarts!
The different is that extrafanarts are used as alternative fanarts slideshow in the (Kodi) library and extrathumbs are used in the information dialog of a movie and should show some (usually 4 images if any are displayed) "in-movie" images.
However, since the providers still do not distinguish between "artificially" created and real "in-movie" fanarts or mark them accordingly, you have to select the pictures manually if you want a good result.
Ember 2.x will get a function that automatically creates the extrathumbs from the video file.
