Missing Thumbnails

Post by alon.albert » Mon Sep 27, 2010 6:27 pm

Is Twonky supposed to have thumbnail support for videos?
My Media Player will display thumbnails for video served by Orb or Windows Media Player Server but not Twonky videos.

TwonkyServer displays automatically thumbnails for some WMV files. In addition, TwonkyServer 6.0 and later can use images that you add for video thumbnails.

Just copy a JPEG image into the same folder as your video file(s). As long as you name the photo with exactly the same name as the video file, the server shoud use that file as a thumbnail.

I feel uncomfortable with the use of the word "should".

Does it or does it not?

I can confirm, it does not work!

Thanks, I'll try that. How about folder images? Will this work for folders as well?
