Thumbnails missing in upgrade from 32 to 33
« on: August 22, 2024, 03:52:55 pm »

I have over 3000 movies in JR. I just upgraded from 32 to 33 and all the thumnails of movie stars and related films have now all gone. It took forever to get all these loaded on most of my library, now they are all gone!

I know that the new look was added for 32 but is this going to happen each time we upgrade?
It takes at least 10secs or so to load the thumbnails for each film and I would hate to do all this for every upgrade.

Why cant this load and move across from one version to the next?

Can we switch back to the old view as I prefer the simplicity of what we used to have?

The thumbnails should still be there.

You can restore a backup from MC32 to MC33.

No that doesnt seem to be the problem.

I dont know what JR called it but it was the view without the thumbs and coloured icons. However it was simple and informative information about the film and we could select what we want to be on show by ticking from a massive long list in the menu of JR. , e.g. time, vid format, audio format, subs, GB, etc etc etc... It was the highest version on theatre view before the new one with thumbs etc.

Are you talking about Theater View? If yes...

BEFORE you do anything do a Library Backup FIRST. Then go to Tools > Options > Theater View > Customize File Info Panel > Manage > Import All Templates > navigate to "Backup" folder then choose the oldest xml in the list (probably 1.9)

All of this must be done on the SERVER machine, because the Clients pull this from the Server.

Also when doing a library backup in MC32 you can go to MC's Options > Library & Folders > Behavior section and set Thumbnails in library backups to Yes. This will make MC include any thumbnails built to be included in library backups. Do note adding thumbnails will 1) increase the file size of library backups and 2) increase the time needed to create a library backup.

I just upgraded from v32 to v33 this evening.

The upgrade install transferred all settings and folder locations over to v33. Including the thumbnails and the backup folder location. When I upgraded from v31 to v32 I had to manually update all of the thumbnails, and also manually change the Library Backups folder from the old v31 location to the new v32 location. This time I didn't have to do any of that. Everything transferred over and the "Media Center 32" folders in the File Location settings all changed over to "Media Center 33" folders. And the cover art folder and thumbnails also transferred over.

Upgrading to v33 has been much easier than any of the upgrades in the past. All settings and folder locations have transferred over and updated to "Media Center 33" folders in the process. Awesome.
