Video thumbnail issues
Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2023 6:43 am
Hi
Short:
With Icaros i have thumbnails for all videos but XnViewMP does not create 4 thumbnails for all formats anymore.
Long:
I recently cleaned my pc and uninstalled some older software (some portable ones and a few with uninstall.exe) and now XnViewMP no longer displays thumbnails for mkv, avi and other formats.
MP4 files and some others are showing a thumbnail but only 1 instead of 4 ("Show 4 thumbnails" is checked).
After using Icaros to re-enable thumbnails for all other formats they show thumbnails again.
Icaros wasn't necessary before.
Can you explain why system changes are changing the thumbnail creation?
I thought ffmpeg is used for thumbnail creation.
The setting "Show 4 thumbnails instead of 1" doesn't work properly anymore except for mpg, wmv and some avi files.
MPG files and avi xvid are showing 4 thumbnails but there is only 1 image in it (left upper corner) and 3 black ones.
Avi x264 shows 1 thumbnail only.
Something is totally wrong.
It is possible that i installed some software years ago to make the (4) thumbnails work for all formats but i forgot which one.
It looks like i accidentally uninstalled this software and i cant use windows event logs because i delete them frequently.
This is so annoying, why do i need third party software to make this work.
Please help me.
Show thumbnails for videos is checked
Show 4 thumbnails is checked
