I'm having the same problem. Is there somewhere that I can delete this thumbnail of the offending video?
Perhaps there is a table somewhere that can be SSHd to?

How do remove the thumbnail view of a "show timelines"? The thumbnails remain even after you delete it's contents. When you click on the empty filter you get:
"You will need to upload photos to your Pogoplug before they appear in this filter"

It's a pretty ugly fix. You have to manually delete the indexes and reindex. I had a lot of stuff, so it took about 10 days to reindex mine.

Like I said, it's pretty ugly. From Pogoplug tech support:
First, power down your Pogoplug, physically detach your USB drive from Pogoplug. Go ahead and power up your Pogoplug with no drive attached.
Start up Terminal and copy in the following at the bash prompt: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE Hit Enter Quit Terminal Hover your mouse over Finder in the Dock, hold down the alt-option key, right-click, select Relaunch. Now when you look at Finder you'll see a bunch of hidden and system files. Attach your USB drive to your Mac and navigate to the root of this drive. Now delete .cedata folder. Drag your USB drive to Trash to safely unmount from Mac. I recommend you return Finder to it's default look, startup Terminal, copy in: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE Hit Enter Quit Terminal Hover your mouse again over Finder in the Dock, hold down the alt-option key, right-click, select Relaunch.
Upon drive attachment to your Pogoplug, some of your files may not be immediately available. Creation of this index folder as well as thumbnail generation for your image files must complete before you will have ready access to data on your Pogoplug attached drive.
----I used a free utility, OmniDiskSweeper, to see these files and delete them, which was a lot easier than doing the above. If you have a windows machine, I'm not sure what is the equivalent of OmniDiskSweeper. Contact Pogoplug tech support, I'm sure they can help you.

It's a little different for windows- Again from Pogoplug support:
Deleting the hard drive's .cedata folder should fix the empty timeline. The fix is relatively simple:
1) Safely unmount your hard drive from http://dockstar.pogoplug.com using the eject icon next to the folder representing your hard drive.
2) Attach your drive to your Windows PC, allow it to be discovered.
3) Navigate to the root of your USB external drive.
4) Delete .cedata folder.
5) Safely unmount your hard drive from your PC using the Safely Remove hardware tray applet in the lower right corner of your Desktop.
6) Power cycle your Dockstar, wait for a solid green LED on the front of the Dockstar.
7) Power up your drive, and attach to your Dockstar.
After attaching your hard drive to your Dockstar, some of your files may not be immediately available. Creation of this index folder as well as thumbnail generation for your image files must complete before you will have ready access to data on your Dockstar attached drive.
