Hi,

How do I set something simliar like this on windows
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server]
“GenerateBIFKeyframesOnly”=dword:00000000

on my Synology NAS?

Thanks,
Cabel

See Advanced, Hidden Server Settings | Plex Support.

To be clear, you want to turn this off? BIF generation is much faster with it on. With it off, it will take several times longer.

Thank you very much!

Yes, I have to turn it off because some movies didin´t generate video preview thumbnails.
Same as here:

Oh nice! GenerateBIFKeyframesOnly has been added to the Support doc. It wasn’t listed previously. I was always worried that it was unsupported.

There’s also this method for changing settings:
