Xnview and .Mov video file thumbnails always first frame

Post by phobos »

Wanted to check. I have had this ever since first using XNview. With .mov quicktime files, I always get only the first frame shown as the thumbnail, no matter what I have set as the VideoFramePercent= option. All other thumbnails work fine. Had always assumed that this was an issue with quicktime files, but since there is nothing about it in the forums, I thought I would check. This happens when official quicktime and quicktime alternative is installed.

Anyone else get quicktime movie files show anything but the first frame in thumbnail view?

Over 200 views, but no-one wants to comment if they are having the same issue or not..... :(

I only wanted to find out if this a problem others are having or not. As in it is something Xnview cannot do at the moment, which is fine. Or is it only me having the problem, so I need to look at my codec's etc.

A mov file report is found on topic suggesting the feature:
REQ: Don't use first frame for thumbnails
