"Use embedded thumbnail" does not work for mp4 video files

[blackisblack17]

Hi,

I just started using XnView and it is an absolutely amazing app.
But I found an issue, I have ticked the "Use embedded thumbnail" in the Thumbnail section of Settings, but it seems like the thumbnails are generated based on the "For video files, extract frame at %" value, am I missing something? Is it how is should work? Please let me know.

I have tried on many mp4 files, those files show the correct embedded thumbnail in the windows explorer, so I think there is a bug in XnView.

Thanks for this amazing app.

Thanks for responding. Can you please implement this in video files as well? That will be a truly awesome feature to have.

Or a feature to pick a custom frame from the video that will be displayed as the thumbnail in the file list. For example, normally use the "For video files, extract frame at %" value but let us pick a frame which will be saved in the thumbnail database instead of the frame percentage. This feature was requested in the past in the forum topic below, has this feature implemented back then? I am sorry, I could not find it in the app. If not, then please implement one of these two features, that would make XnView the best viewer ever made.

In the last comment in this topic.

Please give me an answer, if you're going to consider my request or not. The more I use this program the more I like it. I wish to get a response from you. I posted my request in the previous post. Or do I need to post the request in the Suggestion section of the forum?

Hi, just wanted to bump this request, please consider adding this feature. Show embedded thumbnail from video files. That would be so awesome. I am using XnView ever since downloading it and I love it, thank you for making this awesome viewer.
