As already said I also have the K-Lite codec pack 17.1.5 installed
and for testing I now have added "Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | For videos as well"
Still no problems to build the thumbnails after clearing the cache.

And I opened the folder and when creating thumbnails, double folders appeared in the left tab, but there was no error:

That's a surprising error message! It does not make much sense, maybe the error destroyed the messaging itself.

Anyway, let's make a test. Select one of those video files and run this through the address bar:

Code: Select all

echo filetime();
Do you get error 6?

All the same settings, but after clearing the cache, the error may occur on different files. I can't find any pattern yet.
Here is the result of echo filename(); on one of the problematic files, on which error 6 is currently appearing:

That is, I select the problematic file and run the echo filetime(); command in the address bar. Error 6 does not appear in this case.

I thought so. This will be hard to fix. It's probably a bug in the shell property extensions (responsible for extracting those data from videos) that somehow creeps into XY and makes trouble. Don't see anything I could do. :|

Ok. There is no error when disabling "For videos as well". Besides, I'm going to reinstall the system. If an error appears again on a clean system, then I will report it.Thanks.

And if after clearing the cache in XYplorer, close it, delete the file XYThumbs.txt , and perform system thumbnail cleanup via disk cleanup? Won 't error 6 show up ?

In Total commander one user hat a problem with thumbnails provided by the K-Lite Icaros package
if he configured non rectangular thumbnail sizes.
I don't have such problems.
What sizes do you have ?

In XYplorer 192x96. And I found a pattern. Error 6 appears only if you clear the thumbnail cache in XYplorer and also clear the system thumbnail cache through disk cleanup.
And if, for example, the same folders are first opened in the usual explorer.exe to create a system cache of thumbnails, then after that the error does not appear in XYplorer.

I followed this steps but no error if XY starts with this clean system thumbnail state.
It automatically produces the thumbs in the background even when the current view is details.

I'm also getting this error, but with webp files. I am using 'WebP Codec for Windows' version 0.19.9. I have verified that the thumbnails are generated successfully in 23.40.0000, but fail with Error 6 in 23.50.0300. I used the portable versions to test. Attached a sample webp file that generates the error.

No problems with this sample webp file.
Thumbnail is generated on first run with XY.
Thumbnail provider in may case is the actual K-Lite package with Icaros.
Tested with the following Thumbnail sizes in XY

thinknasium: You should test with the current beta version to see whether it makes a difference.

Forgot to mention that I'm using the latest version, also not working. All sizes throw error 6. Tried disabling cached thumbnails, also fails.

Is there a debug log I can enable? What else to try?

Thanks for the info. In the next beta version (v23.70.0204) run this line through the address bar, it should fix the issue:

Code: Select all

tweak("PreviewEarlyFactory", 2);
