Title: Upside down thumbnails
Post by: leezer3 on July 03, 2007, 03:12:44 pm

Another odd little bug, purely cosmetic but irritating all the same.
Some thumbnails appear to be generating upside-down. I can't see anything odd with the files themselves, & MC plays them the right way up, so seems to be solely an issue with the process used to grab thumbnails.

Code: [Select]

FILE_NAME                      1x03 Deadly Maneuvers.avi
FILE_NAME_WITH_PATH            G:\Knight Rider\Season 1\1x03 Deadly Maneuvers.avi
FILE_SIZE                      366,084,096
CONT_AUDIO_STREAM_COUNT        1
CONT_BASETYPE                  AVI(.AVI)

AUDIO_BITRATE_TYPE             VBR
AUDIO_CHANNEL_COUNT            2
AUDIO_CODEC                    0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3
AUDIO_CODEC_STATUS             Codec(s) are Installed   
AUDIO_SAMPLE_RATE              32000Thats what Gspot has to say on one problem file, another I have is using DivX3 low motion, so its not AFAIK a codec specific problem.

Thoughts/ similar experiences?

Just to close the loop, fixed in build 12.0.279
Dunno why it was doing it in the first place, & nothing in the changelog to suggest it might have been fixed, but still :)

Just installed 12.0.329.  Several of my divx encoded video thumbnails are upside down.  Non-divx .avi and .mpg thumbnails are fine. All files play with no problem.  Appreciate any help.  Glenn

Sorry, several months on & still no clue  ;)
I didn't change anything which might have affected this, the issue just vanished with the new build & it hasn't reappeared.

I can only really suggest updating your codec versions if applicable, but I suspect thats not going to be much help.

Just realized it was entirely my fault. I was setting up the Media Center via a remote desktop connection.  (at work, but not really...) I deinstalled/reinstalled and re-imported the files and the thumbnails were fine.  I knew you can't do video through a rdc, but didn't realize it would cause the problem with the thumbnails.  Lesson learned. Thanks for your quick response.  Glenn
