Thumbnail Support of Twonky Server for Video Files

Post by skybird1980 » Mon Jun 13, 2011 7:24 pm

Hi there,
i am from germany so my english will suck from time to time.
i have installed TWS and it works really good with my Samsung BD C6500 Blu Ray player.
i have also used Samsung Allshare Server, but it doesn't stream with that quality i want.
Samsung's software use a frame from Video to make an Thumbnail. You should do that also. I have over 1000 Video Files and i can't manual create a thumbnail for each video i have.


thanks for your support

Your English is very good. :D

This is a good request. I think it's already something we are considering for the future.

Good news. I'm told that the premium version of TwonkyServer 7.0 that uses FFmpeg will automatically generate thumbnails for video files.

Yes, I realize that now. I love it when I'm given incorrect information to pass on to our users. Well at least you don't have to wait for it. :D
