Yep for media thumbs we can use the /image that replace the /vfs and this one will stay with welcomed additions like resizing
My problem is more about real pictures that are not seen as real media and can only be listed with Files.GetDirectory, those files does not send back a type of pictures and so does not set the thumbnail value in the replies.
So no way to get preview of those from remotes unless getting the full image from VFS. This is the same problem as getting the mp3 for your app.
While for mp3 I suppose you can switch to upnp or other streaming methods, for listing pictures this does not seems like a possible solution so I'm wondering about this specific one.
The easy solution would have been to send back picture type and thumbnails in the GetDirectory responses.
