XBMCNut

I love my Synology NAS, however one of its flaws is it creates these @eaDir directories that while in most cases are hidden, show up in XBMC when you connect using NFS. To avoid this issue; create a file ' advancedsettings.xml' in .xbmc/userdata folder with the following content.

I recently migrated all of my thumbnails in XBMC Eden to a single share on my Synology NAS but had all sorts of grief afterwards with random missing thumbnails. I finally got around to repairing the missing picture thumbs this evening and found that by simply renaming "\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Userdata\Database\Textures6.db" to "\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Userdata\Database\Textures6.old", this file is recreated and the picture thumbs will be regenerated. P.S I tried regenerating the thumbs using the option menu in XBMC and this did not work.

This article will hopefully show you how I easily rename all of my family photos and videos using some simple tools so that the are archived using the date and time the image/video was taken. It has a slight bend towards the Xbox media centre platform as that's been my media player of choice for many years (wife and child friendly with great support for thumbnails).
