canon 550D/7D/5D video thumbnails

when these cameras save a movie, they save 2 files, a .MOV and a .THM. The THM is a thumbnail, its really a 160x120 jpeg, used when quickly skimming footage on the camera.

would it be possible for serviio to detect if that file exists, and use it for the video icon, vs trying to make one itself?

can you attach the thm file?
does it have the same file name as the image?

yep, same name, find attached file (with extra suffix, forum wouldn't allow me to upload the .THM file as-is)

have you tried just renaming them to JPG and see if they are then picked up i know this sounds silly but in other cases we have found that ffmpeg seem to have an issue with extention and once you change them correctly it then works.

Serviio is not looking for any local thumbnails for images - yet. I created a ticket for this to be implemented in future.
