Thumbnail view / Covers on TwonkyServer 6

Post by steeve » Sat Dec 11, 2010 1:21 pm

Hi all,

I've been searching for quite some while and I would like to understand how to support covers for videos when using thumbnail view. I found a number of posts, most of the time containing conflicting information!

What are the criteria used by TwonkyServer in case there is only one video and in case there are multiple videos in the folder?
1. If there is only one video - can it be the <name_of_video>.jpg? Does it need to be Folder.jpg or folder.jpg?
2. How to do this when there are multiple videos?

In short, can you explain the exact logic used by the server to decide if/what picture to use as thumbnail?

Finally, which picture extensions are supported?

Thanks,
Steeve
