Hi,
I still can't get thumbnails to automatically generate. Can someone do a quick validation for me and let me know the result? Drop an avi and/or mp4 in a directory, add the directory as a source in xbmc (don't select a scraper), navigate to the directory and see if the thumbnail(s) are generated.
Thanks,
Doug

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the export didn't work for me. The videos aren't in my library (not scraped nor monitored by xbmc). They are just viewed in file mode. So there weren't any thumbs exported.

I think it's a Raspbmc bug. I just tried an openelec build and it works fine. I'll try a clean raspbmc install again later.

Hi, relyter.
I had tried the justusefilename scaper without success. So moved on to try OpenELEC and xbian. I like OpenELEC, but it isn't allowing me to do some things I want so I'm currently trying xbian and liking it.
I have previously used a thumb creator for a different purpose and was thinking about applying it to this problem, but xbian is working for me so I'll use that. Eventually I'll have a single database running off the Windows box so this won't matter but I'm running Eden and Frodo now so I'll have to wait.
I like the idea of using nfo files. But, you're right, that is long and complicated!
