Title: Build thumbs problem for mpeg files
Post by: raym on April 08, 2006, 05:08:03 pm

Been trying to rebuild my thumbs in the last few builds to take advantage of this feature first introduced in build 156 :-

7. Changed: Media Center builds higher quality thumbnails. (use Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails > Erase all thumbnails... to force MC to rebuild)

The rebuild works fine but I have a handful of mpeg files which MC refuses to build thumbs for after this process. What should I do?

MC can build thumbnail for two types of videos:

1. MOV (Quicktime).

2. Certain video that can be played back using DirectShow. But not all DirectShow-played video will work. For example it will not work with MPEG-2 based video.

Using the Quickfind in File / Cover art Dir fixed it!
