Help!!!!!
Approximately, 90% of the thumbnails in my video collection have somehow become about 80% blacked out from the bottom to the top of the image. MC did it when I executed a rebuild thumbnails command, but I don't remember for sure. I am pretty sure it had to do with fixing thumbs because at the time I was trying to get thumbs for files that didn't have any and improve ones I didn't like.
I have tried deleting them selecting both options of trashing them and not trashing them. I have tried rebuilding them. I have worked with every available tool within MC to fix my thumbnails like look for them/find them/get them from the internet; I tried locate them on my computer, and locate them in a file, screen grab to file, screen grab directly to the image file, and a couple of outside tools all with no luck. I have exhausted searching the forum and wiki as far as I can tell focusing around the key terms like “cover art”, “thumbnail problems” “Blacked out” and more, but I had very little success. The problem is still there when I launch MC 16 as well, but as far as I can tell, and it is not definite by any means, no other player/organizer/file viewer has the problem when I look at my video files with that…. but I am not 100% on that.
Thanks,

Are you just looking for thumbnails that are screengrabs from the files?
If so, you might just delete your thumbnails (Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails) and let the rebuild. You can set where in the video it grabs from in that same spot in Options.
