Title: Turn off video thumbnail in hairstyle mode
Post by: thedreampolice on May 03, 2003, 08:00:42 am

hi all I am trying out the demo to see if I can use this program to build a PVR jukebox pc, so far I am very excited about this program. I have many video files, both WMV and Real media that I have encoded (as I am converting all my media DVD, CD, pictures to some sort of data file) And In hairstyle when I go the video link it takes forever to get the preview on the screen of the 10-20 or so thumbnails, it is to the point of being unusable, is there a way I can disable video thumbnail in hairstyle mode? IE just have the question mark? Thanks!

I agree that Hairstyle is painfully slow when navigating around video thumbnails. It's not too bad until it comes across one it can't do (e.g. film with DirectVobSub subtitles). Then it seems to try to grab the thumbnail every time you run MC, which takes a few seconds for each file.
