Server Version#: 1.29.1.6276 Player Version#: I did an upgrade last weekend and now for some DVR recorded shows, I do not get preview thumbnails. I do get the intro and commercial skipping. I’ve made sure that preview generation is still enabled. I looked in the logs for one of the shows and th…

I did a complete uninstall/re-install. I still don’t get preview thumbnails on new recordings. I checked an hour later. However, this morning the previews are there, so they must have been generated during scheduled tasks. So, this is a little better, but I used to get previews within minutes of…

Alright, I am consistently getting preview thumbnails generating overnight, but not when shows are added. In Settings → Library, I have Generate video preview thumbnails set to ‘as scheduled task and when media is added’. Can anybody help?

I am having the same issue. I downgraded to 1.29.0.6244 and it works correctly.

Thank you. I just downgraded and we’ll see how it goes tonight. Is there a better method for reporting bugs like this so someone at Plex knows about it so we might get a fix?

I am back to normal preview thumbnails within minutes of the end of a DVR recording with version 1.29.0.6244. I’ll stay there.

I wish I had an older QNAP package downloaded that I could go back to, I have this issue as well. It sucks Plex doesn’t host older versions on their site for regressions like these.

C’mon @Plex. You’ve now got at least three separate topics talking about preview thumbnails not being generated unless overnight! Like @plex will do anything.

Thanks so much @brsly – I was able to download/downgrade to 1.29.0.6244 to get thumbnail generation back for me!

I also got tired of waiting for the preview thumbnails issue to be resolved and thanks to your post I was also able to downgrade to 1.29.0.6244! I too will stay with this version
