    Hi!

    If I deleted (accidentally or on purpose, changing the settings for creating thumbnails) thumbnails of recorded shows, how do I create them?

    I don't think that MP1 has any way of batch-creating thumbnails for recorded TV or video. :(

    You can create them one at a time ("Context" menu in "Video" or "Recorded TV"), but that is cumbersome and time consuming of you have a lot to create. Sounds like we need a talented MP1 developer to add this function in MP 1.26. :D

    Today, the thumbs were created by themselves, it remains to learn how to force this event. :)
    If thumbnails are enabled in "TV Server Config", TV Server creates the recording thumbnail on completion of the recording. So they naturally accumulate as you build up a library of recordings. :)

    But if you delete all of the accumulated thumbs, I am not aware of any way of forcing TVServer or MP to re-create them. :(

    fixed the episode naming above ^. There was no error in the naming of the file itself. Every time I enter TV Series, it tries to re-scan the episodes. The series appears for just a few seconds and disappears again.

    So not 100% sure if this is a MyTVSeries or FanArt issue, but the episode thumbnails always revert to the series default after restart. If you go to an episode and open the options and pick choose artwork then choose episode thumbnail it shows the correct thumbnail and says it is remote. Click on it and it goes local instantly and...

    It's getting weirder..... If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........
