| Summary | 0006627: Video Thumbnail generation problems | ||||
| Description | 1) When video thumbnails are being generated, scanning performance (especially over the network) becomes horrible. It would be preferable if the priority of this thread was reduced. 2) Video thumbnail thread can't be terminated. If the user tries to right-click on the thread to terminate it, nothing happens. 3) What happens if the user terminates the thread or closes MM? i.e. is there a way for MM to generate thumbnails subsequently? (I think that both this, and duplicate analysis should work like the volume leveling--as a separate process that can occur in the background). | ||||

Let's discuss over IM, should there be anything unclear. |

4) it tries to generate thumbails also for http://... paths. I think that all protocol:// paths should be ignored, i.e. use IsURLPath() function. |
|
|
4) Or, even better, as Ludek suggests ignore it on automatic generation, but generate it if such a file is played by the user. |

Reminder sent to: michal Adding Michal to this issue, I'd particularly be interested, whether 4) as I suggested above is possible to implement. If it's so, we probably should completely disable http thumbnail generating. However, in such a case, we probably should give users an option to generate thumbnails manually - e.g. something like 'Generate Thumbnail' command in the right click menu of Player, which would take the current screenshot and save it as a Thumbnail. |

Fixed in 1328. re 3) auto generation will be started when you update any track properties for example. re 4) i've added 'Generate thumbnail' to the player popup. |
