I have been running Embedded Media Field (1.25) with Youtube on a D6.19 site for a few weeks now and there are currently *thousands* of files of the format emvideo-youtube-xxxxxxxxx_ZZZ.jpg in my sites/default/files directory. They just multiply there like the viruses. :) Doesn't seem to be a problem if I delete them. They are recreated as emvideo-youtube-xxxxxxxxx.jpg. And then re-recreated over and over as emvideo-youtube-xxxxxxxxx_ZZZ.jpg copies, where ZZZ goes from 0 to hundreds or thousands if you don't delete them. I just reached some hundreds megs of thumbnails(thousands files) for just a few embeded videos(aprox.20). I think they are replicated on every cron run ?

Also found that the "files" table in the database has thousands of entries for these as well. Might want to clean that out (carefully!)

Version: 6.x-1.25 » 6.x-2.5

Did anyone get to the bottom of this? I've just tried updating to 6.x-2.5 but I'm still seeing the same behaviour.

It's not just youtube thumbnails. I've got the same problem with emvideo-bliptv-xxxxxxxxx_ZZZ.jpg and emvideo-brightcove-xxxxxxxxx_ZZZ.jpg files.

Are you using feedapi at all?

I'm not using feedapi and I am experiencing the same problem. A similar problem has been reported here (http://drupal.org/node/894702), but the supplied patch is out of date.
