Hi all,

I am having problems with thumbnail generation.

Thumbs are not being generated for some of my videos. It appears MPG videos work ok, but AVI and MOVSD videos are not working.

I have attached the log of when I try and perform a scan from the configuration.exe program for Videos.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

J.

You won't have support for self compiled MP.

Anyway, I checked your logs:

2010-08-14 22:20:55.477468 [Debug][Config Main(1)]: SetThumbnails: Video thumb NOT found!
2010-08-14 22:20:55.477468 [Debug][Config Main(1)]: SetThumbnails: Creating a Video thumb...
[...]
2010-08-14 22:20:55.852485 [Debug][Config Main(1)]: SetThumbnails: nothing to do.

This is caused by following code:

      if (item == null || String.IsNullOrEmpty(item.Path))
      {
        Log.Debug("SetThumbnails: nothing to do.");
        return;
      }

or

        if (IsPicture(item.Path))
        {
          Log.Debug("SetThumbnails: nothing to do.");
          return;
        }

so a patch you applyed is the root cause of your issue.

I tried running mtn manually from the commandline for the videos without thumbs.

It generated the thumbnails ok, so its not a mtn or codec issue.

Now what???

Hi there,

I appreciate the lack of support - We can't expect you guys to support every custom version out there.

Hence why I'm grateful you and Inifinity Loop have spent time looking

I did check with Miroslav22 (who released the SVN), he didn't believe any MePo clientside changes had been done (bar a language file change)

Time to try and track down what patch/change may have caused this.

Thanks,

J.

Me again...

I have done some more "testing"...

I can get thumbs to appear in Videos now. What I found (user error) was that if I had AVI and MOVSD defined as an extension in Pictures and Videos, then the thumbs were not generated in Videos.

But I still can't get thumbs to appear in Gemx's new code - so I will post in that specific thread (as I now have the general MePo video thumb issue resolved).

Thanks,

J.
