I've been a Meedio user for quite a while but decided to try out MP and am very impressed and pleased. I have basically made the switch. One little nagging problem has me completely stumped. It's the thumbnail display when I play music.

I have complete .jpg's in my music olders (served off network attached storage). The .jpg's copy fine to MP \thumbs\music\folder. In both the source folder and the \thumbs\folder location the file looks complete (as per the first pic).

However, in the thumbnail view in any skin, and in the \thumbs\music\album or \thumbs\music\artist folders, the file looks like the second example.

I have tried every setting I can think of. I have deleted all the files and the cache and started again. I am sure I missed something simple ... anyone know what it is?

Thanks!

I have one guess: Go to setup->General->Thumbnails and play a little with the qualitiy setting around...maybe it helps.

Cheers,

Paloema

Thanks for the suggestion, but no go. Still the same problem.
