Hello,
plex already skips only at multiples of 10 seconds, can you add an option to add a thumbnail of the scene we’d be skipping to? smth similar to what youtubetv is doing: https://thestreamable.com/news/youtube-tv-is-improving-thumbnail-preview-while-you-fast-forward
thanks!
Be prepared to make your cpu hurt and waste disk space
thanks, i dont see the same options on that article on my Prefences.xml (i’m running 4.34.4), i do see a GenerateChapterThumbBehavior=“never” but chapters are not skip intervalls, were you referring to a specific options i should add instead?
also, do you have an estimate of the additional space usage? are they generated a episode viewing time or at library scan time?
I don’t know if Plex player will show a thumbnail when hovering your mouse over the timeline, but try this:
Edit your library and enable Enable video preview.....
Then go to Settings > library and enable Generate video preview thumbnails
After that, you can manipulate the thumbnail interval using the parameter GenerateBIFFrameInterval
Details here:
thanks! i’ll let it cook during the night and see the results tomorrow and let this thread know
perfect, it works exactly as i want it to – thanks!
do you know where the thumbnails are store? i imagined somewhere in PlexMediaServer/Library/Plex\ Media\ Server/Media/localhost/*/*.bundle/Contents/Thumbnails/* but that directory only contains a single thumb1.jpg
want to check how much space they use so that i can monitor it properly
…Contents/Indexes/index-sd.bif
indeed, thanks!
JFYI, the size of that file is below 10MB (i imagine per episode), with the average size around 5-6MB; so that’s not that bad
thanks for your help!
The .bif files can be significantly larger, but I agree, it’s worth it.
