XnView MP - Video thumbnails not working

Post by Helodia »

Hello,

I have XnView MP 0.95 and it does not create & show any thumbnail for video file.
Mostly MP4 files but also MOV files.
That would be really convenient to order & cleanup my photos & videos.

How to enable it ?

Thanks,
Helodia

Here it is Pierre :

I think it could be linked to the fact that I previously configured XnView with a custom size of Thumbnails. Probably not supported for videos.
But now I reverted back to standard size of thumbnails, try to rebuild thumbnail database, still not working.

Is there any other way to force rebuild the thumbnails ?

"Go to Settings -> Browser -> File liste -> Custom Filter and check if the "Show as Thumbnail" checkbox in the "Video" row is checked."
From: viewtopic.php?t=32683&start=15

SUGGESTION: This setting is disabled by default. Why not set the default as "enabled"?

Can confirm this bug in the latest version.

I've checked all these. The folder doesn't show anything up. There's mp4s' in the folder that I'm browsing.

Yes, they're no showing up.

Along with mp4s' There's also mpg and 3gp files in the folder which also don't show.

I don't know if a restart of my machine made it work but they're appearing now for some strange reason.

thank you, for the tip!
the video thumbnails are now showing
I guess it disabled by default as it takes more time and processing power to generate thumbnails from the videos
