[QUOTE="JiRo, post: 754077, member: 91312"] Suppose that the generation of thumbnails is responsible external utility mtn.exe. Have tried many options in the configuration settings in Thumbnail and Video section. Without success. Then I concentrated on where the thumbnail file should be located and copied a trial picture there. Name of picture must be same as name of file with TV record. And it started working! Trial picture was displayed at right place in recording screen. Finally tried start manually mtn.exe with the appropriate parameters at which point I got the actualy thumbnails for all recordings. Yes, I know it's not very clean solution, but it is a good starting point for further investigation. For those who want to hunt with me a few facts: [LIST] [*]Thumbnails file location, MediaPortal data path: ...\MediaPortal\thumbs\tv\Recorded [*]Name of thumbnail file <name of recording>.jpg, probably other picture formats are possible [*]Records file location is defines in TvServer configuration. For multiseat configuration must be created a share! [*]Mtn.exe location, MediaPortal program path: ...\MediaPortal\MovieThumbnailer [*]Mtn.exe parameters, see its help, for input use <records file location> for output use <thumbnails file location> [/LIST] Now I want to test the possibility of periodic launching the mtn.exe and the possibility of practical using: [LIST] [*]conflicts by the unfinished recording [*]optimal set of mtn.exe parameters [*]a script for cleaning up unnecessary thumbnails (thumbnails of deleted recordings) [/LIST] In conclusion I would like to say that this solution understood as temporary and believe that further Media Portal revisions this problem will be solved by any standard way. Welcome your ideas and experiences. JiRo. [/QUOTE]
