Manually creating and adding chapter thumbnails?

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Hi

Is there any way to manually adding a thumbnails for chapters of mp4-videos, that would be shown in Plex Media Server on AppleTV?

I had chapters through Subler (on a Mac) - and ask Subler to generate thumbnails. It works in Apples TV app - but not on Plex.
But what I really want to do is to be able to add an image to the chapters myself …

Been googling for days - and haven’t come up with a solution.
Any tricks/help would be highly appreciated.

Thansk :slight_smile:

If you have chapter information, PMS should be extracting the images directly from the video file. There isn’t a way to force a specific image for the thumbnail if that is what you are asking.

Edit - Actually, you don’t even need to provide the chapter information. As long as you have the option enabled PMS will even search for the chapter information itself.

Thank you for your answer.
The opportunity to force a specific image for the thumbnail was exactly what I was hoping for.
