Why can't Plex Server dynamically create Thumbs for FF and REW?

Server Version#:1.32.8.7639

I understand Plex allows Thumbs to be created and stored for every Movie/Tv show/Media one has that is added to the Plex Server Database. Not only is this time consuming if one has a very large Media library but also adds to NAS storage usage. I notice I have many other apps like Roku’s Live TV dynamically creates Thumbs on the fly when FF or REW so can anyone tell me why Plex Server cannot do the same creating Thumbs dynamically when playing media and if not why not?

thx

It does…But when you enable that feature it KILLS the Hard drive space on the drive PLEX is running on!

First, how do you enable this feature and second how can it “KILL” the HD Space if the thumbs are dynamically made and then deleted once the media is done playing? thx

Can you change this into a feature request instead of a support/bug report and let’s get some support for it. Sounds like a good idea.
