Deleting Chapter and/or Trickplay Images

[Efficient_Good_5784]

Another quick question anybody knows how I can get rid of the chapters from the play bar?

It appeared after I upgraded to 1.9.x and it's showing in libraries that don't have Chapter images enabled. I'm guessing it's another setting but I don't know what and where is it.

If you're fine with disabling the chapter marker ticks entirely from your server, here's the CSS code for that (this will also disable them for things you have chapters enabled on too):

Code:

.sliderMarker { display: none; }

If you want to delete chapters specifically for a thing, you'll have to find the specific metadata in the same place you found the other trickplay files. Or you could mass delete them like you did for trickplay files.

If you want Jellyfin to only make chapters for things that have chapters, make sure the following setting is set to 0 (to disable it):

Dashboard > Libraries > Metadata > "Chapter Images Interval"

This setting will create dummy chapters for videos that don't have any chapters embedded into their container.
Jellyfin will only show the chapter marker ticks on the web player's OSD if Jellyfin created/extracted chapters for the video.

If you run into issues with dummy chapters being recreated on items that don't have chapter files, try changing the interval to a random number, save it, then change it back to 0 and save again. Then delete all chapters from your server and do a rescan of your libraries. Finally, retry the chapter creation task in the dashboard.

I'm running 10.10.3, I have /config in the container mapped to /mnt/user/appdata/jellyfin, and I see trickplay images are stored in /config/data/metadata/library in the container. What I don't understand is how that increased the vdisk size so much when it's supposedly stored in the host filesystem.

With docker, the paths in the container are relative. So the trickplays would be stored in host path /mnt/user/appdata/jellyfin/config/data/metadata/library. The container, itself, only references the part after /mnt/user/appdata/jellyfin and Docker translates to the host path.
