    When executed Configuration file says that this new one is version 1.2 and not the same versionas TVPlugin as it is version 1.1.

    What I do wrong?

    Hi there,

    I've tried to look into my thumbnail issue (where my movies are not having thumbnails created).

    I tried testing wih actually using My Videos - and I get the same issue.

    It is only processing MPG files (and producing thumbs for those types of videos) - it is not generating thumb nails for AVI and MOV/MOVSD files.

    I will start a separate thread for this issue.

    Thanks,

    J.

    Not true.

    If you do not get thumbs for these videos on your system, then these must use codecs MTN does not understand.
    I get thumbs for flv, mov, ts, mp4, divx, mkv, m2ts, mts ..... pretty much all containers using various codecs (mpeg4, divx, h.264, VC-1, sorensons, fraps, just to name a few)

    Hi guys,

    Sorry to jump around (between different threads) - and I appreciate I am running a self compiled version of MePo.... (needs must and all that)

    But I could do with some pointers...

    I have now got thumbs being generated in the MePo Video section (I found that if I had the AVI and MOVSD extensions defined in both Video and Pcitures then no thumbs were generated in Videos). So by removing the extensions from Pictures it worked. I don't actually use Videos as such (only to allow Play Disc to work). The Codecs and MTN work fine (under Videos)

    But no matter what I try I can not get thumbs of my clips to be generated in Pictures. (I have tried removing the extensions from Videos, I have tried with and without the extensions in Pictures, I have reset the database, etc).

    As Inifnity/Chemilli have said/pointed to, it might be something specific with my release/SVN (if it is - sorry for wasting your time) :(

    I get the following error:

    Scanning file: D:\pictures\Dad - Canada 2010\P1030426.movsd

    I am just puzzled how it generates the thumbnail ok when I'm Videos, but not for Pictures?

    Thanks,

    J.

    Hi there,

    I am hoping someone might be willing to look into this issue for me (I am running a custom SVN based on 1.1.0.0) with this plugin/update

    I did have this plugin working great, but had to rebuild my HTPC. :(

    What I am finding now, is that if I am in Full Screen mode and in a slideshow, or I have a picture on the screen and then press the next button to move onto the next item (which is a movie), the screen seems to hang. But if I am in the Pictures/list/layout view screen (where you can see the individual pictures/movies), I can select the individual movie, click on it and it will play. Or if Mepo is in window mode, everything seems to work ok????

    So it seems the issue is when I move from a picture in full screen to a movie it doesn't work (but the individual movies play fine), or being in Window mode works ok.

    I have attached two lots of cut down logs (both lots in full screen mode); first lot of when I click on the actual video from within My Pictures (this launches and plays the video ok), the second pair of logs are from when I do a slideshow, and the video does not play.

    Not sure if its this plugin, or a wider/different issue (just seems strange how I can click on the actual video and it plays ok)

    Thanks,

    J.
