Artwork just will not die

[Remnant]

I've turned off EVERY meta and artwork setting I can find, and still adding a folder to mezzmo spawns user tasks for artwork and subtitles (and slows everything down).

How can I tell mezzmo not to generate artwork (or in fact metadata of any sort)

Your can control metadata retrieval using the Metadata Retrieval Settings dialog. See http://www.mezzmo.com/wiki/doku.php?...eving_metadata.

That's what I thought, but everything is unticked, I've restarted mezzmo, I've even rebooted the PC, and adding folder still triggers a "system task: getting video artwork" for several thousand files

The System task may appear when adding files, but may not do much (any) artwork processing since you have all artwork metadata settings turned off. Is there any artwork appearing for your files when you add them into Mezzmo? If none, then it is working correctly. We could make an improvement to not launch the System task if all artwork metadata settings are turned off. We'll consider that for a future version of Mezzmo.

No it's definitely doing something. It's VERY slow, been going for over 2 hours now, and...... yup there we go, creating thumbnails in artwork\poster. I REALLY don't need an individual thumbnail for each episode of a childrens tv show

OK - try this:

1. Stop your Mezzmo server.
2. In Mezzmo, go to the Options dialog (General page) and make a note of the Mezzmo database folder location.
3. Exit Mezzmo (Windows) app.
4. In Windows Explorer, go to the Mezzmo database folder location.
5. Delete the "MezzmoAlbumArt.db" file, "MezzmoVideoThumbnail.db" file and "MezzmoVideoTextAlbumArt.db" file. These are artwork temp databases that Mezzmo uses.
6. Run Mezzmo (Windows) app. Mezzmo will create new (empty) temp databases and you should have not System Tasks relating to artwork now.
