Thumbnails

[Sammy 790]

I run the stable server on my daily driver and the beta server in my office. I'm liking the thumbnails for preview while fast forward and rewind. I'm just wondering if this feature can be brought to stable soon so we all can enjoy!

 

Request though, bring back chapters too! More ways to navigate are better.

 

Thanks, @@ebr @@Luke

Yes it will. Thanks.

MCEBuddy can be set to make chapter markers instead of deleting portions of the video. There's a few reasons this is preferred but if Emby doesn't expose them it doesn't matter if they are there or not.

I'm on 4.1.0.24 beta and currently a thumbnail scan is running but is only at 6.9%. ffmpeg is running and pegging my cpu. I know this is an intensive process but when done, can I get this into my daily stable server without a new scan? Library is mostly identical.

 

Having my daily server running slowly for playback will be an issue in this house for sure. Can it be set up with scheduling to run in off use hours then pause, then start up again until finished?

 

Thanks @@Luke

Have you explored scheduled tasks?

Have you explored scheduled tasks?

Yes. So if it's set to run for say, 4 hours, then it shuts off for 12 hours and then runs again for 4 hours will it take up where it left off and not have to rescan the library again?

 

Also, I can see that on initial installation of This Server when it goes to stable will result in a rather long initial Library scan. I think that on installation This Server version will need to have the thumbnail scan cancelled and then setup to run on a schedule unless the initial settings built in by the Developers do not run the scan until a more convenient time.

No it won't result in a long library scan, not unless you specify enable thumbnail extraction during the scan.
