(I still install VLC as it's so useful and generally a great piece of software. I know that VLC, as good a player as it is, has done (and maybe still does) some really stupid things will filetypes if you tell it to associate itself with them, and maybe other players/codecs are just as bad. It may have been one of the codec/player uninstallers and not the registry cleaner, though. They have a close to zero chance of making a positive difference and a far higher chance of breaking something because they assumed something could be "cleaned" when it was still needed. I haven't looked at that particular registry cleaner but, in general, the whole concept of registry cleaners is bogus. Most likely one of those things did something silly, yeah.
You mentioned a registry cleaner - I did indeed run Tunep Utils reg cleaner after I uninstalled all my old codecs and players I guess that messed things up. Unfortunately, when it comes to video, there are a lot of stupid programs. Often it comes down to some stupid program removing the PerceivedType=Video values from the registry. If you send the output for one of your affected filetypes I can compare it to my machine's settings. (Note that the 32-bit version is usually the default you mentioned assigning things to the 64-bit version.)Ĭompare the filetype registry settings on your machine to those on a similar machine (same OS etc.) where things are working. That is often enough to make it re-write the filetype registry details and fix whatever was broken by some other piece of software. Tell Windows Media Player 32-bit to make itself the default handler for the filetypes/extensions in question. (Settings / Preferences / File Display Modes / Thumbnails.) Without doing that you may end up with a working setup where you're seeing thumbnails generated and cached back when things were not working. If the files don't play at all, or only play in the 32-bit version and not the 64-bit version, then that should be fixed first as thumbnails usually won't work without it.Ĭlear and disable the Thumbnail Cache in Opus. This is a crucial feature for me and I could really do with some help getting this stuff to work.Ĭan you play the files in question using Windows Media Player 64-bit?Ĭ:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exeĬan you play the files in question using Windows Media Player 32-bit?Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe It seems that I can no longer get thumbnail previews of movies nor can I get the Preview Pane working for most formats.

Only MP4 files generate a thumbnail in Windows Explorer. I previously used to get thumbnails for all videos in Windows Explorer too, now most of those are broken also - I just see icons.
All other video formats show as Hex code in the preview pane. In addition, the preview pane will preview ONLY some MKV files and nothing else. I only get thumbnails for MP4 and some MOVs. I get no thumbnails for AVI, MPG and most other formats.

HI, I'm trialling DOpus 10 圆4 on Windows 7圆4 and having big problems with movie thumbnails and the preview pane.
