[QUOTE="glenn 1990, post: 789042, member: 105566"] About the fallback, This is the code to get recording thumbs: [CODE]bool succes = VideoThumbCreator.CreateVideoThumb(recFileName, thumbNail, true, true)[/CODE] And this for video thumbs: (fallback code in red) [CODE] bool success = VideoThumbCreator.CreateVideoThumb(path, strThumb, true, false); [COLOR="Red"] if (!success) { //Failed due to incompatible format or no write permissions on folder. Try querying Explorer for thumb. Log.Warn("Failed to extract thumb for {0}, trying another method.", path); if (OSInfo.OSInfo.VistaOrLater()) { thumb = VistaToolbelt.Shell.ThumbnailGenerator.GenerateThumbnail(path); //only works for Vista/7 } else { using (ThumbnailExtractor extractor = new ThumbnailExtractor()) { thumb = extractor.GetThumbnail(path); //works on XP but not too well threaded }[/COLOR] }[/CODE] So, why a fallback for videos and not for recordings?? And this is the code to get the thums from windows explorer (easy to replace mtn.exe) [CODE] try { using (ShellObject Item = ShellObject.FromParsingName(recording)) { Item.Thumbnail.RetrievalOption = ShellThumbnailRetrievalOption.Default; Item.Thumbnail.FormatOption = ShellThumbnailFormatOption.ThumbnailOnly; Bitmap _bitmap; _bitmap = Item.Thumbnail.LargeBitmap; if (_bitmap != null) { _bitmap.Save(thumbNail, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); Log.Info("RecordedTV: Thumbnail successfully created for -- {0}", recording); } } } catch { Log.Info("RecordedTV: No thumbnail created for -- {0}", recording); }[/CODE] Maybe we should start another thread about it.
