Thumbnailer - creates automaticly thumbnails from videos and tv recordings (5 Viewers)

[Guzzi]

Would it be possible to also use this plugin as "standalone" - so just running it if specifically something should be done? (This would reduce load on MP)

PS: You lucky bastard!!!

Thumbnails are being generated correctly for me: video.avi produces videoL.jpg. However I can't see them in MediaPortal whether I use icons, filmstrips, etc. What am I doing wrong? I'm using MediaPortal 1.0.2.

Update: I dropped the "L" in "L.jpg" in the output setting, restarted MediaPortal and it seems to work now. Not sure if that's the cause.

Just like magic this plugin is now going for me just fine.. Have revised the mtn extention to work just great as well. One thing though, I'm not getting Folder.jpg at all for single files..

I don't know what you have done. But this plugin definitely does nothing.

any reason why the mtn.exe crashes when im using this plugin? (also crashes when using the inbuilt thumbnail plugin in mediaportal)
which log file should I be looking in ? (only started crashing since I did a complete system re-install and upgraded to mp 1.1.0 beta)

movie thumbnailer (mtn) is the used component, so no MP logs will help troubleshooting the issue.

Possible causes for the crash:

1) odd characters in file names
2) something odd in the file encoding

What's the advantage/disadvantage of this over the inbuilt thumbnails generation for tv recordings?

I get the same thing, which would suggest it's something unique to New Zealand.
At a guess you're using Freeview terestrial same as me. If so that would suggest someting odd in our DVB-T streams. Running mtn manually, I get much the same result with most working but the odd one crashing out.
