Help double checking GenerateBIFFrameInterval implementation

Plex Players Desktop Players
1

Hi, I’ve read what I could online but want to make sure I made the correct changes. I’m using the MacOS desktop player/server.

Basically, the screenshots are taking up too much space and I want to change the interval from 2 to 10 seconds.

I bought an app called “plist editor” to change the values, but noticed that it wasn’t in XML like the guide suggested. As a result when I open the appropriate plexmediaserver.plist file, under root, for the key value I put in GenerateBIFFrameInterval, for type I put in “number” and for “value” I put in 10. Did I do this correctly? Is there a way to double check this?

I really wish this was a setting I could more easily get to, because the video preview pictures is taking up 80% of my desktop HD.

This was super helpful to confirm and to mess around with some more settings. Thank you so, so much!
