Having an issue that has me stumped after changing to SiliconDust guide data...

My old guide data provider did not provide any episode thumbnails, so MC would simply capture a thumbnail from the designated time/position in the recorded video. This has worked for years.

I found that SiliconDust guide data provides episode thumbnails, which is actually kinda cool. Problem is, MC fails to display half of them, instead it just shows a non-built thumbnail icon. MC Reporter says 100% thumbnails built and Tools > Advanced > Build Missing Thumbnails => 0 thumbnails built. Restart MC and restarting PC doesn't help either.

The jpg properties all appear identical - 360x270 96dpi 24bit with file sizes less than 50kb. Windows can display the offending jpg's just fine, but not MC. If I move/delete the offending jpg out of the TV Logos directory and tell MC to rebuild thumbnail, then it captures a thumbnail from the designated time/position in the recorded video and correctly displays it. But, if I move the offending jpg back into the TV Logos directory, MC goes back to just showing a non-built thumbnail icon.

In the capture below, you can see out of the ten recordings from last night, six have the SiliconDust thumbnail and four just have the non-built thumbnail icon. And all the older recordings have the captured from video thumbnail.

Second night of SiliconDust guide data download => tv shows that I had watched and deleted yesterday, leave the original episode.jpg in the TV Logos directory, and a duplicate episode.jpg(1) is being put into the TV Logos directory So my TV Logos directory is just going to grow and grow and grow... And the duplicate episode.jpg(1) still doesn't show a thumbnail in MC at all.

What can be done about this? Why don't these jpg's show a thumbnail in MC? Maybe there is some way I can just block these episode.jpg from SiliconDust?

Matt and Hendrik recently fixed the jpg image issue.  Now all program logos that previously could not be displayed are now in MC32.

I also tried deleting some recordings.  The logo files are deleted too.  If you still see those images not deleted, in MC32 when it comes out, please let us know.
