Video Peview Thumbnails: 2 Seconds to 30 seconds

  1. I haven’t tried values that high.
    I believe it will work, though the preview scrubbing fidelity will get much rougher.
  • Higher values give diminishing returns!
  • Going from 2 seconds to 8 seconds cuts it down by 75%
  • Going from 2 seconds to 16 seconds increases that to 87%
    … 2 → 16 is only 12% more space savings compared to the 2 → 8 change
  1. Yes!
    I initially followed the Advanced, Hidden Server Settings | Plex Support document.
