When you add it to the extensions then MP's thumbnail grabber will extract existing thumbs which are embedded into the metadata. These are low quality of course...

To all people who seem to cannot read - maybe a little more direct:
If you WANT to watch RAW images with Mediaportal you most likely DON'T want to shoot in RAW mode at all

There is NO point to support RAW in an HTPC app. If you do not have the time or lack the skill to produce something beautiful out of those RAW files (imho only an emergency option to recover rare moments with bad lighting) then please shoot in JPEG! Besides the comments of some reviews in magazines your camera will produce better images than you most likely get out of the RAW files.

MP will always be designed for watching / showing content. If something wasn't worth to be processed at your lab you shouldn't consider showing it to your guests

[QUOTE="rtv, post: 357974, member: 12309"] When you add it to the extensions then MP's thumbnail grabber will extract existing thumbs which are embedded into the metadata. These are low quality of course...
