Size 5**x768 for L. The problem is: in thumb directory I have movie.jpg and movieL.jpg. The L one is 5**x768 and the other is smaller (1**x192). In the movie folder I have one with the same size of the movieL.jpg with the name folder.jpg. When I press F3 to refresh the info about the movie (whyle in MP My videos) the folder picture reverts to the smaller jpg equal to the smaller one found in thumbs....

I found that the problem only appens in a shared folder from another pc. Turn off all the permission and left only the permission to read, it seems ok now. I'll continue to make some more test then I'll post the results here...

Update: I was wrong... It appened again in a non shared folder from another pc... So I set the movie folder with a read only attribute... So far so god but the first picture always comes with low resolution (I manually put a HQ picture and then when I press update F3 it stays there with no quality loss). BTW I also cleaned the cache folder...

Update 2: Again Wrong... It work a few times then back to the same problem! Deleted the moviedatabase also, and it works for some movies info, then it started to do it again... New movies only get low res pictures in folder (the picture that is showned in filmstrip) The pictures in Thumbs directory are movie.jpg and movieL.jpg, but in the folder some are nice whyle others after pressing F3 become low res!... What should I do: delete the thumbs folder, delete the folder.jpg inside each movie folder (and why the picture inside the folder is always hidden?), delete all the media portal folder, or reinstall it again and loose all my settings and data?
Please advice...

P.S. - Could it be an Anti-Virus issue?!

Update 3: Unistalled MP and deleted the Team MediaPortal folder. Installed latest version and latest MediaPortal SVN-Snapshot. Then I setup MP started new video database and now the problem only occurs with new folder. All the others are keeping (till now) the high res pics in filmstrip but the new movie folders only get low res pics... Don't know what else i can do... Please help!!! Someone...

    Can you give us some systems specs\os etc, this may be a permissions thing.

    Also use MPTestTool to create logs, go to both a hi-res title and a low-res one, hopefully may be able to see where the limitation is happening.

    Update 4: What I found out was that the filmstrip pic are getting hi-res with only MP installed... When I install a SVN the new folder pic are low-res... Confirmed this same issue in another pc running vista, so probally is a SVN issue...

    Yap it is broken in one of the SVN's. Hopefully we get a unofficial patch with this and some more cool stuff soon ;)

    I was just tinkering with a few settings in the MediaPortal configuration and am happy to have found the cause of the problem. Disabling the option "Single seat setup: force RTSP usage" under "TV/Radio", "Advanced Options" resolved the issue. After I disabled this option, I was able to delete the recordings the first time...

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?
