But you do have the first movie in your list with working extrathumbs/thumb1 and thumb2?

I'll keep working my way through my movies a bit more and see if any others don't work.

Yes, the two image view works perfectly with thumb1.jpg, thumb2.jpg but the slideshow never shows anything for me and I've tried various naming formats.

OK worked out how mine is caused, but not sure what is causing it.

I am capturing my thumbs using vlc snapshot. Any movie that comes up in xbmc with the mp3 tag, will show thumb1 and thumb2. However any that come up with the Dolby Digital tag, won't load thumb1 and thumb2 for that movie. Is it the way i'm taking my screenshots?

just curious what everyone is doing for season thumbs for their shows?

Slideshow only works in Layout: Plot, not Layout: Thumbs. Works for me with thumbN.jpg (N=1..10).

How'd you get the nice 'NBO' logo in the TV view?

Does anyone have any idea why my movies with mpeg audio would display thumb1 and thumb2, but those with ac3 won't?

Are you sure?

Quote:added: Multiplex view for Movies

Extra thumbs stored in subfolder of individual movie folder called
"extrathumbs". The large thumb/no plot view will pull whatever images are
in that folder and loop them as a slideshow. The two thumbs and plot view
looks for files "thumb1.jpg" and "thumb2.jpg", again in the "extrathumbs"
folder, so be sure to call two of your extra thumbs by those names.

e.g.

Silent Running/extrathumbs/thumb1.jpg
Silent Running/extrathumbs/thumb2.jpg
Silent Running/extrathumbs/<any additional images>

There is an inherent problem with the largeimage controls that means they
only disappear when they're replaced. So if you have a movie that doesn't
have extra thumbs, thumbs from a previous movie will still show. This is a
known issue. If you report it nonetheless I'll have to violate you.

Well I'm not sure how it's supposed to work but that's the way it currently does work, yes I'm sure.

interesting thing is that here on my side slideshow worked initially without any intervention on my side. i've just put stills in extrathumbs and they've showed up.

too bad right now this extra movie stills only show up in an live environment, meaning they got loaded at presence and not from any cache or db entry within xbmc.

hopefully the devs will support these (along with the media flags) in the near future so they can be written down somewhere and remembered.

thing for me is that i've put my hd movies on an external disc which is really noisy, so i keep it off when not in use. now on those movies the stills do not show up as they are not present..

is there already a feature request on trac that reflects media flag and extrathumb support? if not, i'll add one.
