I don't get thumbs to display when I select 'Genre' view in my videos. I really prefer 'genre' over 'title' because I have around 300 movies in my DB and it takes a while to browse trough them. In addition to that genre view makes it easier when I for instance am in the mode for a comedy.

I have .jpg's with genre filenames located in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Videos\Genre
But nothing shows up in MP. For the record it works in my music so I cant see why it shouldn't work in videos?

How to replicate: Open my videos - change view to 'genre' - watch the empty icons.


I can't find any info in the logs, but if you want them anyways I can post them when I'm at my HTPC.

Oh and lastly: Great if someone could confirm if it works for them or not.

    Due to the fact that there are users who have > 50.000 songs but rarely more than 500 videos the database handling of both plugins is completely different. In addition there's no active maintainer for the video part so if a bug is reported some "music or tv guy " has to look at it ;)

    I am quite sure this bug can be found inside the movieview handler. I'll put it on the list when I check the ISO-Stuff.

    Are you willing to share your genre thumbs. I'm highly interested.

    I just modified the genre thumbs from tv-series plugin icons to be the size of DVD covers.. But sure I'll make a .rar and upload them when I get the time.
