# Fix thumbnail generation and script creation (2025-10-12 21:53Z)
_**User (2025-10-12 21:53Z)**_
@2025-09-28_20-12Z-fixing-thumbnail-generation-and-sync-issues.md I have some more thumbs to generate in C:\Users\Nathan\SynologyDrive\YouTube\Streams\MixerTwitch\2025 let's do some things:
- disable funcitonality for webm since synology doesn't even support thumbnailing for it
- create a shell script that does the opposite of nascleanup.sh; it extracts the eadir@ to eadir_tmp so the thumbgen skips the existing frames instead of recalculating them again

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>**Clarifying user requests**
I see the user has two tasks to tackle. First, they want to disable functionality for `.webm` files in the `psthumbgen.py` script, which handles thumbnail generation. This means we should modify the code to skip processing `.webm` files, possibly through a config or flag.
Then, they mentioned creating a shell script that does the opposite of `nascleanup.sh`, transferring `eadir@` to `eadir_tmp` so that `thumbgen` doesn't recalculate existing frames. Since they confirmed the need for a script, we’ll proceed with that.
**Planning file modifications**
I need to open and read the `psthumbgen.py` file to find where `.webm` processing is managed. I'll use a method like `read_file` and possibly `grep`. I also need to create a shell script that does the opposite of `nascleanup.sh`, so I'll read that script to understand its functionality.
Next, I'll use `multi_tool_use.parallel` to simultaneously read both scripts. Since this is a multi-step task, I'll create two tasks: one for disabling `.webm` processing and another for adding the shell script that extracts EAs to `eadir_tmp`. I'll mark the first task as in progress before moving forward.</details></think>

I’m going to scan `psthumbgen.py` to find where `.webm` handling is implemented, and read `nascleanup.sh` to mirror its logic for the new “extract eadir to eadir_tmp” script.
<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>**Adjusting functionality for webm**
I need to disable functionality for webm files since Synology doesn't support thumbnailing for them. This means I’ll likely have to modify psthumbgen.py to skip .webm files. Currently, webm is included in valid_exts, so I'll need to adjust it to stop processing them—maybe by excluding webm from valid_exts or modifying the process_file video condition. The user wants to avoid wasting time on unsupported thumbnails, so skipping .webm entirely makes sense.
**Updating file handling and creating script**
I just need to make minimal changes: first, I’ll remove 'webm' from `valid_exts` and adjust the video checks to exclude it. I should also update the Icaros helper sets so they avoid looking up '.webm'. They had heuristics referencing webm, but it’s probably fine to keep those unaffected since they’re for mapping. To be thorough, I’ll make sure to remove it from supported lists to simplify logic.
Next, I need to create a shell script that does the opposite of nascleanup.sh. This new script should extract the `@eaDir` to `eaDir_tmp`, letting thumbgen skip existing frames instead of recalculating them. It suggests copying the `@eaDir` directories and renaming them as `eaDir_tmp` alongside the originals.
**Clarifying directory extraction**
The instructions say to "extract the eadir@ to eadir_tmp." There’s a minor typo, using "eadir@" instead of "@eaDir," but looking back at nascleanup, we see they used '@eaDir.' For our task, we want to copy/replace '@eaDir' with 'eaDir_tmp'.
I need to be cautious, though, since an existing 'eaDir_tmp' could be there. My plan is to create a corresponding 'eaDir_tmp' directory for each '@eaDir' subdirectory found. So, for each '@eaDir', I’ll set up a sibling 'eaDir_tmp' directory, keeping the structure intact. This way, we wouldn't overwrite anything already on the NAS, effectively preserving existing data.
**Creating extraction script**
The user mentioned that we want to create a way for thumbgen to skip existing frames instead of recalculating them. The generator verifies if thumbnails already exist in `eaDir_tmp` and, if they do, it skips generating those sizes. In the code, both `create_video_thumbnails` and `generate_synology_thumbnails` check for pre-existence.
So, if we copy the contents from `@eaDir` to `eaDir_tmp`, our `psthumbgen.py` will see those files in 'eaDir_tmp' and bypass generating them. I'll need to create a new shell script for this purpose—perhaps I'll name it `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh`, with an input directory path like nascleanup.sh.
**Creating extraction script details**
First, I need to modify the `extract_from_icdb_database` by removing '.webm' from the `get_alphabetical_position icaros_extensions` set. I’ll create a patch with four separate hunks afterward.
Then, I’ll compose the new script `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh` with a bash shebang. The usage will be `$0 <directory>`, and I'll use `find` to locate directories named '@eaDir'. For each found directory, I’ll set up a temporary directory and copy contents from `@eaDir` to `eaDir_tmp` using `rsync` if available, or fallback to `cp` if not. I’ll make sure to keep the output messages concise, avoiding excessive comments. Finally, I'll run `read_lints` on `psthumbgen.py` and update the necessary items.</details></think>
---
I'll add todos for the two tasks, then disable .webm processing in `psthumbgen.py`, check for linter issues, and create the new extraction script that copies `@eaDir` to `eaDir_tmp`.

- [ ] Create extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh to copy @eaDir into eaDir_tmp
---
I'll update `psthumbgen.py` to skip .webm files and then check for any linter errors.
I need to implement changes regarding webm functionality. The user mentioned that Synology doesn't support thumbnails for webm files, so I should disable processing for them. This means modifying the code to exclude .webm in the valid extensions list and in the file processing functions. If they’re not supported, generating thumbnails would just be a waste of effort. So, I’ll remove webm from valid_exts and associated lists in the code.
**Adjusting webm settings**
I’m considering the processing of .webm in the Icaros helper sets. Although it’s included only for mapping, it’s clear that the user wants to disable functionality for webm entirely since Synology doesn’t support thumbnailing. So, I’ll modify the code to exclude .webm from valid_exts, process_file, and supported_exts to prevent any confusion or log spam if the function is mistakenly called. Even though it’s not critical, removing it will streamline things.
**Completing webm adjustments and scripting**
I need to remove all occurrences of .webm in both find_files and process_file lists for thoroughness. I’ll also add disclaimers to comments about earlier tasks, but I'll keep it minimal. Then, I am tasked with creating a shell script that extracts '@eaDir' directories to 'eaDir_tmp' for thumbgen to skip existing frames. This script should replicate any existing '@eaDir/filename' into 'eaDir_tmp/filename'. I’m considering whether to copy those files or create symlinks instead.
**Clarifying file duplication process**
On Synology Linux, when handling '@eaDir', I need to be careful not to lose thumbnail information. Since moving files could erase that data, making duplicates in 'eaDir_tmp' is a better approach by using copy instead of move. The copying process means retaining the original '@eaDir'.
I’ll need to copy the contents of '@eaDir/<filename>' into 'eaDir_tmp/<filename>' at the same directory level. This requires iterating through each '@eaDir' directory, creating sibling 'eaDir_tmp' folders if they don’t exist, and copying the contents accordingly.
**Implementing script and file edits**
I want to invert the functionality of the existing `nascleanup.sh` to create a new script, `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh`. This will find all '@eaDir' directories, create corresponding 'eaDir_tmp' folders, and copy the complete directory structure while preserving it. I’ll ensure that if thumbnails exist in 'eaDir_tmp', `process_file` will skip generating them again.
I also need to disable webm processing in `psthumbgen.py` and update valid_exts to remove '.webm'. While I need to keep comments minimal, I want to document the intentional exclusion of webm for clarity. Finally, I will apply the necessary changes and then run lints to ensure everything is correct.</details></think>
---
I'm updating the code to skip .webm files, then I'll create the new `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh` script that copies `@eaDir` into `eaDir_tmp` to pre-seed thumbnails.

I disabled .webm handling in `psthumbgen.py`. I'll mark that todo complete, then create a new shell script to copy `@eaDir` to `eaDir_tmp` recursively so thumbgen skips regenerating frames.

## Todo List
- [x] Disable .webm processing in psthumbgen.py
- [-] Create extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh to copy @eaDir into eaDir_tmp
I’m planning to use apply_patch to add a new file while keeping in mind that comments should be minimal unless critical. A small header is okay, and I need to maintain indentation since it's a new file. The previous task disabled .webm, and I think skipping it in find_files and process_file should be enough. I'll run read_lints on `psthumbgen.py` after making changes and apply_patch to create the script. I’ll include status updates before tool calls throughout this process.
**Implementing user rules**
I have two main actions: first, I’ll run read_lints, then create the file. While the order isn’t critical, I could run read_lints in parallel with nothing else, but starting with it seems more straightforward. The user's `user_rules` state that a script should only be generated if specified, and they did specify creating a shell script. I want to ensure the code remains concise and avoid heavy formatting. I’ll make changes using tools without directly outputting code, but I will provide a summary in my final message.
**Following instructions on code changes**
Given that the environment uses code edit tools for file generation, the user will see it in the editor. The instructions specify that I should never output code to the user unless requested, and the user only asked to create a script, not to see the content. So I won’t print the script code. Now, I’ll focus on running read_lints and ensure everything is set up correctly before proceeding further!</details></think>
---
I'll run a quick linter check on `psthumbgen.py`, then create the new `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh` script that mirrors `@eaDir` into `eaDir_tmp` with existing thumbnails so `psthumbgen.py` skips regenerating them.

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>**Creating shell script for Synology NAS**
I need to develop a shell script that essentially reverses what nascleanup.sh does. This new script should copy contents from @eaDir to eaDir_tmp to allow thumbgen to skip recalculating existing frames. I see that we've already disabled webm in our Python code, which aligns with the initial requirements since Synology doesn't support thumbnailing for webm. The script should be in Bash and focus on ensuring that standard Synology thumbnail files are preserved in the eaDir_tmp path.
**Examining thumbnail directory structure**
I need to look into how psthumbgen expects the thumb_dir to be structured. In process_file, thumb_dir is set to combine the base directory and filename under eaDir_tmp. So, for each file, the thumbnails should be in a specific path. We have to replicate the structure from @eaDir to eaDir_tmp. For each @eaDir directory, I’ll create a corresponding eaDir_tmp directory and copy over the necessary files, skipping any that already exist. The ultimate aim is to facilitate thumbgen in skipping existing thumbnail frames. I also need to ensure that permissions are set correctly on eaDir_tmp and create a script named extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh to accept the target directory path.
**Designing the extraction script**
The script I'm conceptualizing shouldn’t stop services since it only involves read-only copying for extraction purposes. Although the NAS might restrict access, we can run it as a user. I’m outlining the script to be used like this: `./extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh /volume1/...` or possibly a Windows path.
I need to validate the argument first, then look for any directories that contain `@eaDir`. For each of these directories, I’ll calculate the source and destination paths, ensuring the destination directory exists. I plan to copy relevant thumbnail files, specifically anything that matches `SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_*` and `SYNOVIDEO_VIDEO_SCREENSHOT.jpg`. To simplify, I think I’ll use the `cp -n` command to copy these files, mostly focusing on JPGs, since that's what Synology uses frequently.
**Refining the script with rsync**
I realize I need to add the `-n` option to prevent overwriting any existing files during the copy process. I also have to be cautious about path names that might contain reserved characters. Using `find` with `-print0` and reading with `while read -d ''` could simplify this.
Instead of basic copying, I think using `rsync` would be effective because it can maintain the directory structure while copying recursively. I’ll utilize options like `--ignore-existing` to skip files that are already there, and include the specific thumbnail patterns I need. However, I should note that mapping the source from `@eaDir` to the destination in `eaDir_tmp` might be tricky with `rsync`, and using `--filter` for transformations doesn’t seem straightforward. I’ll have to figure out a cleaner way to handle that.
**Looping through directories for extraction**
I'm designing a script that will loop through the directories in `@eaDir`. The script starts by finding each `@eaDir` directory in the target location and then iterates through its entries, creating corresponding `eaDir_tmp` directories. For each known thumbnail file, I’ll check if it exists in the source directory and only copy it if the destination doesn't already have it.
After copying, I'll adjust permissions to make sure they are writable, as psthumbgen needs the destination directory to exist and be modifiable. I want to keep things simple by including a dry-run flag and respecting the user's request to generate this shell script. Once everything is structured properly, I'll apply the patch to add the new file and update the task list to complete.</details></think>
---
I'll create a new `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh` script that copies thumbnails from each `@eaDir/<filename>` into `eaDir_tmp/<filename>` without overwriting, so your Python thumbgen will skip regenerating existing images.

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>**Providing file transfer instructions**
I need to help the user with copying a file to their NAS using SCP, which seems to be failing. I wonder if SCP isn't enabled because the Synology's default SFTP is turned off. The error message "subsystem request failed on channel 0" suggests an issue with the SFTP subsystem. I'll instruct the user to enable SFTP in Control Panel under File Services. Also, it might help to check if SCP is set correctly over SSH, especially considering the version being used.
**Suggesting alternative solutions**
I’m exploring alternatives for the user’s file transfer issue to their NAS. One option is to use `ssh` with heredoc or `tee` from PowerShell to create the script directly on the NAS. I also consider using `rsync` over SSH if it's installed, or copying via SMB share followed by an SSH command to change permissions. I'll provide clear commands to enable SFTP if it’s disabled and show how to transfer the script correctly with PowerShell.
**Presenting file transfer options**
I’m looking at various options for the user to transfer their script to the NAS. Option A is to use SMB sharing with a PowerShell copy command and then SSH to change permissions on the file. Option B involves piping the script content directly via SSH. Finally, Option C suggests enabling SFTP and using SCP, but given the user’s current issue, providing the SMB or SSH piping methods seems like a quicker fix. I’ll give clear commands with minimal verbosity for each option.
**Drafting concise instructions**
I need to explain to the user why the SCP command failed, which is due to the SFTP subsystem being disabled. Since earlier guidelines suggested keeping things short and focused, I'll provide three options for transferring files to the NAS. I think I should use code blocks for the commands to make it clearer. Even though there was a mention of summaries in the specs, I can skip that here as we're focusing directly on providing straightforward solutions for the user's query.
**Providing transfer command options**
Here are the options for transferring your script to the NAS:
Go to DSM: Control Panel → File Services → FTP → Enable SFTP service, then rerun SCP. If `Hydra` isn’t in known_hosts, connect first to accept the host key. If admin restrictions are in place, ensure the home service is enabled for access to `\\Hydra\home`.</details></think>
---
Likely SFTP is disabled on your NAS (scp now uses SFTP), so use one of these:
The script copied existing thumbnails from `@eaDir` to `eaDir_tmp`, so `psthumbgen.py` will skip files that already have thumbnails and only process new ones. `.webm` files are skipped.

_**User (2025-10-12 21:53Z)**_
looks like it's working great. can we add the new extraction shell to autothumbs.bat?
I need to adjust autoThumbs.bat to run the extraction shell script on NAS before the Windows psthumbgen runs. To do this, I'll use tools to edit the file. First, I want to read the content of autoThumbs.bat to understand how it currently works and what its arguments are. Then I’ll create a to-do list, which includes editing the batch script to invoke SSH and run extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh with the target directory coming from the provided argument.</details></think>
---
I'll read `autoThumbs.bat` to see how it's currently structured, then update it to SSH into Hydra and run `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh` before launching `psthumbgen.py`.
I need to modify the autoThumbs.bat file to integrate the extraction shell (extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh). Currently, it has options 1, 2, 3, and 4, where options 2 and 3 offer manual SSH commands for cleanup. The new requirement is to run the extraction script on the NAS before generating thumbnails. I'll need to ensure options THUMBS_ONLY and BOTH call ssh Hydra for extraction. I also wonder if I should add a new option or integrate it into options 1 and 3.
**Modifying extraction options**
I’m thinking about how to modify the options for BOTH and THUMBS_ONLY in the script to include an optional extraction step. However, THUMBS_ONLY suggests no SSH usage, even though the user asked to automatically run the extraction shell on NAS. I could add a new option 5 specifically for extracting to eaDir_tmp or adjust options 1 and 3 to run the extraction first via ssh Hydra. I also need to ensure that WINPATH conversion is added to THUMBS_ONLY, computing the NASPATH for the extraction command. I’m a bit unsure about the SSH user format—should it be 'Hydra' or 'nathan@hydra'?
**Clarifying SSH username**
In the Windows terminal, using 'ssh Hydra' indicates I'm logging in with the username 'Nathan'—with a capital "N." This is important because the variable defined as NASUSER is 'nathan'—in lowercase. When connecting via 'ssh Hydra,' it would log me in as 'Nathan,' considering Windows OpenSSH defaults to the current Windows username. Since the extract script is in the home directory of 'Nathan,’ using 'ssh Hydra …' seems fine. However, since NASUSER is defined, I’m considering if using 'ssh %NASUSER%@hydra' might be safer.
**Addressing case sensitivity in SSH**
I need to consider that Linux user accounts are case-sensitive, which means 'nathan' and 'Nathan' are different. However, it seems Synology may treat them as case-insensitive. Since using 'ssh Hydra' works for logging in as 'Nathan,' I think it’s best to stick with that to remain consistent. Although the autothumbs script echoes 'ssh nathan@hydra,' I’ll keep 'ssh Hydra.'
In the THUMBS_ONLY option, I’ll compute the NASPATH after reading WINPATH, then run the extraction script. It’s possible the script has CRLF, but it should still function; I’ll keep a check for that.
**Implementing extraction logic**
I need to add logic for running the extraction script first, then generate thumbnails. If the script isn’t found, I should notify the user to upload it. So, I’ll create a command that echoes the extraction process and checks if the script exists using SSH.
For the THUMBS_ONLY and BOTH options, I'll compute the NASPATH initially, run the extraction, then the Python process. I also want to ensure manual cleanup steps remain intact, adjusting Option 3 to automatically run the extraction first. I'll make these edits in the autoThumbs.bat file while preserving the existing formatting. Let's implement that with care.
**Preparing for patch application**
I'm preparing to insert the necessary code after line 30, converting the Windows path to the NAS path and running the extraction on NAS to seed eaDir_tmp. Then, in the BOTH option, I’ll change the order to compute the NASPATH first before SSH extraction, followed by the Python step. I’ll ensure to provide a status update before calling apply_patch since that’s part of the requirements. After this, I might summarize the changes and check if any action remains on our todo list. Let's proceed with the patch.</details></think>
---
I'll update `autoThumbs.bat` to run the NAS extraction script before generating thumbnails for options 1 and 3 by computing the NAS path and invoking it over SSH. Then I'll summarize how to use it.

---
- Added NAS pre-seed step to `autoThumbs.bat`:
- In options 1 and 3, it now converts the Windows path to a NAS path and runs `~/extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh "<NASPATH>"` over SSH before calling `psthumbgen.py`.
Use:
- Option 1 or 3, enter your Windows path (e.g., R:\YouTube\Streams\MixerTwitch\2025). The script will pre-copy existing `@eaDir` thumbs into `eaDir_tmp` on Hydra, then generate only missing ones locally.
I see that option 2 prints manual commands, which means they want to run the batch automatically over SSH. I need to be careful here and consider running the extraction script instead. They might want both SSH cleanup and commands for removing @eaDir and moving eaDir_tmp. Earlier, we modified options 1 and 3 for extraction, so should we automate option 2 to run nascleanup.sh? But do we even have nascleanup.sh available on NAS, or do we need to copy it over?
**Revising SSH commands**
I’m thinking of simplifying the batch process by using SSH to run inline find commands. However, I need to be careful with quoting in Windows. I've already computed NASPATH in option 2, so I can change option 2 to SSH with commands for finding and removing '@eaDir' and renaming 'eaDir_tmp' using bash. But quoting in Windows can be tricky. Since the user hasn't requested a new cleanup script, sticking with the existing extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh could be the best route for now.
**Implementing cleanup automation**
For cleanup automation, I think inline commands would work better. After calculating NASPATH, I’d run SSH commands instead of just echoing them. I need to set it up to remove '@eaDir' and rename 'eaDir_tmp' on remote NAS. Quoting gets tricky in Windows, so I should simplify things and call nascleanup.sh if it’s present on NAS. However, it’s not copied there yet, so I can only call extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh for now. I might want to confirm before any destructive actions, but the user wants automation.
**Simplifying SSH implementation**
I want to keep things minimal for the SSH implementation. First, I’ll compute NASPATH, which is already done. Next, I’ll run commands over SSH to remove existing '@eaDir' and move 'eaDir_tmp' to '@eaDir' while setting permissions if needed. We’ll stick to the earlier manual commands; no need to include line endings.
As for option 3, which is "Both," it still prints manual commands. However, I could consider updating this to run cleanup automatically after generating thumbnails, especially since I've integrated new extraction for options 1 and 3 as requested.</details></think>
---
I'll update `autoThumbs.bat` to automatically run a cleanup step over SSH by invoking `~/nascleanup.sh` on the NAS for options 2 and 3. If the script isn't present on the NAS, it will prompt you to upload it.
I need to update autoThumbs.bat for automating cleanup. Previous read_file shows manual echo instructions in both SSH_ONLY and BOTH sections, but our earlier patch already changed parts for options 1 and 3 to use extract_eadir_to_tmp. It seems the user selected option 2 and received manual echo instructions. So, I need to edit both SSH_ONLY and BOTH to execute automatic SSH commands instead of echoing. I should read the current autoThumbs.bat file again due to this patch mismatch.</details></think>
---
I'll reload the current `autoThumbs.bat` to modify the SSH steps to run automatically instead of printing instructions, then apply targeted edits.
I need to update `autoThumbs.bat` to automate cleanup. The user asked if we can do this automatically, particularly in the SSH cleanup section or for both options. We previously tried to patch the file, but there was a context mismatch with the strings used.
Currently, the SSH_ONLY section is still showing manual commands, as does the BOTH section. I’ll modify these to invoke `nascleanup.sh`, which already exists in the repo and is designed for NAS cleanup tasks.
**Considering nascleanup.sh location**
I noticed that `nascleanup.sh` is currently in the Windows workspace path, not on the NAS. For automation, I need to figure out whether it should already be on the NAS or if I need to copy it over using the SSH method we used before. The user specified that I shouldn't generate a new script unless requested, but I'm not creating one, just invoking the existing one. If the script isn't found, I can add logic to automatically upload it while keeping it simple. I’ll use a pipe method to do this effectively.
**Updating autothumbs.bat for cleanup**
The user previously asked me to add the new extraction shell to `autothumbs.bat`, which we did. Now, they want to automate the cleanup process. We need to modify both the SSH_ONLY and BOTH sections to run the `nascleanup.sh` script directly on the NAS instead of printing manual commands. I'll also ensure that seeding is included as we already do in THUMBS_ONLY and BOTH. If the script is missing, I can add logic to check for it and upload it automatically with a fallback message if it's not found.
**Implementing automatic cleanup**
The user wants to automate the process, so I'll update `autoThumbs.bat` to run `nascleanup.sh` directly. I need to apply the patch carefully with the right context, updating lines 62-72 and 99-109 to include the SSH command. I also want to maintain proper Windows batch quoting, as we used it successfully with the extraction script before. I’ll adapt that format to check if `nascleanup.sh` exists and run it; otherwise, I’ll echo a message that it's not found on the NAS.
**Patching nested quotes and cleanup**
I need to make sure the quoting is correct, especially since we're dealing with double quotes inside double quotes in the batch file. In Windows batch scripting, the double-quoted string ends at the next quote, so I’ll need to use `\"` to escape those. I’ll patch the necessary sections by applying the proper updates. Additionally, I should include a status update for smooth tool usage. Since this is a code change, I don’t need to run lint checks on the .bat files, so I’ll implement the patch.</details></think>
---
I'll update `autoThumbs.bat` so options 2 and 3 automatically run `nascleanup.sh` on the NAS instead of printing manual commands, matching how we already invoke the extraction script. Then I'll confirm the change.

- Updated `autoThumbs.bat` so:
- Option 1: still seeds with `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh` then runs `psthumbgen.py`.
- Option 2: now automatically runs `~/nascleanup.sh "<NASPATH>"` over SSH.
- Option 3: seeds with `extract_eadir_to_tmp.sh`, runs `psthumbgen.py`, then automatically runs `~/nascleanup.sh "<NASPATH>"`.
If `~/nascleanup.sh` isn’t on Hydra, you’ll see a message to upload it; copy your local `nascleanup.sh` to `~/nascleanup.sh` (via SMB or the earlier SSH pipe method) and re-run.
