denz 426 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I would like to know how long does it take usually to generate a thumbnail I have recordings that have been sitting over 7 days without thumbnail is there something that is causing it to take so long ? WMC creates a thumbnail almost immediately. Is there a setting that I may have accidently changed for thumbnails not to be generated.

Luke 37301 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 should be almost immediate. but once in a while ffmpeg will fail to generate images for some files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denz 426 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks Luke. I will do more testing so it must be something specific to Australian recordings. I will keep an eye on the logs so hopefully the logs show something so that is can be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution denz 426 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Solution Share Posted March 14, 2016 I found why it didn't generate thumbnails not sure why but it if it helps others in serverwmc there is a http tab and there is a tick box use URL instead of SMB/UNC paths for Recorded TV if that is disabled all the thumbnails are generated.
