Bad video thumbnails preview in browser
The browser displays all video (avi, divx) thumbnails with a rotation of 180° and wrong colors. This happens only in v1.74, in v1.70 works fine
They look fine to me, make sure you have DivX v5.2.1 and Koepi's XviD v1.0.2 codecs installed and properly configured. If you have any codec packs installed please uninstall them as they cause nothing but trouble.
Did you make sure all your plugins for XnView were updated as well as the program itself?
What do you have your AVI's associated to by the way?
Also can you post a screenshot of your Thumbnail options please?
Pierre, XnView is crashing on me badly whenever I try to open a video in XnView 1.74's browser mode. Trying to gather more intel now. Produces "Process Has Already Exited.... blah blah blah"
To be honest, I'm not too worried if this gets fixed or not. I feel XnView should be used for graphic images only. I use Zoom Player Std to play video files.
OS: Win2000 SP4
XnView Std v1.74 Final with XnView v1.74 Plugins installed seperately

Pierre.
Yes, any video (all too big to send) - see below
Locally (Hard Drive) or Remotely (DVD-Rom)
C:\Downloads\anna_short_film_wmv9.wmv
C:\Downloads\farcry_vehicles_trailer_mpeg1.mpg
C:\Downloads\Interstate 1982 v1.8 Trailer_xvid.avi
C:\Downloads\Killer Bean 2.1 Remastered.mov
C:\Downloads\Killer Bean 2.1 Remastered_divx50.avi
C:\Downloads\Manhattan Chase Game Trailer_divx50.avi
C:\Downloads\Psycho-Trailer_mpeg2.mpeg
Now, opening all the above clips in View mode works great no error.
Open the clips from Browser mode with Thumbnails on and crash...
Hmmm, after playing the XviD clip I go to close the window and XnView loses it's toolbar and looks like a lockup but isn't as I can close XnView easily.
I'll finish by saying video's have never worked properly in XnView and never will. You need a video player that uses codec's installed on the system NOT built-in to the player.
PS. I'll have to remove that screenshot soon bandwidth is limited to 100Mb a month

All videos that I've were encoded with divx 4.12 and xvid 1.0+, I've installed these codecs and decode perfectly with any player, old versions of xnview browser and even with acdsee browser, the problem is just with xnview 1.74, otherwise if I get any movie encoded with divx 5 (that sucks) I use the xvid decoder or ffdshow to read the movie so there is no reason to installl the crap of divx 5.x

Oh, I agree XviD has better quality and is opensource freeware but if you're comparing DivX 4.12 with DivX 5.2.1 the later is way better and I think the 6 month trial of the Pro version is the beginning of it becoming Free. DivX Networks plans to get it's money from selling licenses to hardware vendors rather than those who use the codec.
However, until XviD v1.1 arrives, DivX rocks for Brightness/Contrast adjustment unless you use VirtualDub and a Brightness/Contrast Filter to alter the video clip.

I've got Win XP SP1, divX 5, Xvid 1, ffdshow and all videos in XnView 1.74 works fine...
...avi, mpeg, mov, divX, Xvid, wmv, even mpeg2 and even HDTV!
XnView just loose focus if I go on mov file (no matter if thumbnails or details view - in browser only, not in viewer and fullscreen)
Also video (sound is heard) is played twice - looks that only if I go from browser to viewer (browser to fullscreen is ok)
BTW best combination for playing videos and movies is ffdshow and MV2 Player (much more features like any other player, it also plays DVDs, mp3s and images
) and it's free!

It's obvious that v5 is better than 4.12 but I use it for capture since it's free and doesn't use to much resources (cpu, memory) avoiding frame dropping, I would like to capture with some lossless codec like huffyuv but I have not enough HD.
Otherwise I've understood that divx v4 (project mayo) was developed by people that actually works in divx and also for some guys of xvid, after v4 the group was divided, some guys decide to make some money launching divx 5 and the other part of the group stayed in the open source community developing xvid, the best codec ever.
Both groups have the same roots and there is no doubt about who is the winner

You have problems when these options are enabled?ckit wrote:Ok, I think I've fixed the problem, I've turned turned off Cache options - "Read one image ahead" and "Keep current image in cache"
I want these Options altered so if they're enabled they have no affect on video filetypes what so ever.
I don't get any crashes now with video clips
Pierre.
When double-clicking Any video clip from Browser mode to View mode it crashes with a "Process Has Already Exited" error message. If I go back and disable those Cache options, everything works. Heres the screenshot of it:xnview wrote:You have problems when these options are enabled?ckit wrote:Ok, I think I've fixed the problem, I've turned turned off Cache options - "Read one image ahead" and "Keep current image in cache"
