XYplorer Beta Club

In the meantime until admin get a chance to reply, I can let you know how I think it can be done, but I haven't tested this recently with the old dat2 thumbnail format. Thumbnail storage format has changed in recent versions, so I think you'll need an old version to achieve what you want, eg. versi...

The next beta version can do it. It's not hard to do, but you might need a little help with it. Just ask here...

Just to confirm , you can resurrect the thumb images to view if you have .dat2 and .dbits files?
If so, what are the steps involved?
Thank you.

No. But I'm interested to hear why you want to have this. It could be fun, it could be torture... My reasoning is that I have many files. Some are very long, some have names that are random, and some are forgettable. The best way I can describe it is like getting a taste test of what you are in for...

MP4 preview does not work for you on Preview Tab (F12) nor on Preview Panel (Ctrl+F11)? Installing K-Lite fixed the issue for me. I have one more question. Is there a way to make video previews jump around to random times without input? To clarify, I mean to have the video jump around every few sec...

Oh okay. So how do I pick the correct codec? There is many options to download it seems.

Okay. So this is pretty much blank but it has some text.

It says :
Preview created by the shell.

And under that is (Size:) and (File Size:)

Did you try to show the video in the Preview tab of the Info Panel (F12)? I'm not sure exactly. I hit (F12) and it brings up something. I cycled through those tabs and did not find anything particularly helpful. Maybe I am missing something? I read on further in this forum and saw something about 3...

Hi and welcome, Can you post your XYplorer and Windows version? If your XYplorer version is not 20.80.0200, can you upgrade to it via Help > Online Support > Check for Updates? This actually did solve something. .avi files now preview and did not before. But still .mp4 is not working and that is my...

XYplorer Version : 20.80.0300

Hello. I am new to XYplorer.
When I click on a video the preview pops up on the side with a still image. Is it suppose to play or preview in motion? That would be ideal.
I have an error message at the bottom of the screen.
" playing failed :Automation error "
