thumbnails are not taken randomly

Post by computerke »

Hi all,
Just registered here :)
Well, I have the following question/issue. I am a using of Media Preview for a long time already and likes it a lot!
However, this weekend I had to reformat my laptop and reinstall it completely. After installing MP, however, I noticed that the thumbnails of media files are not taken randomly anymore, but depict the first frame. When I try 'testing and cache' it works and even stores the taken frame on my harddisk. But previously I did not have to do this for every file, since that will take me days and days.
What did I do wrong and what can I do to get randomly selected frames as a thumbnail again?
Thanks for helping me out!
Greetings,
Ronny

Just a quick check: did you ensure that Media Preview is managing the file format of your video files?
To see this, launch the config tool, go to the tab "Video Formats". If some file format isn't checked, check it and click on the button "Apply".
