My video thumb previews have been working but, just recently they stopped and now it just keeps showing pictures (which I did not make it automatically makes them)? And yes I have changed different view modes, themes, and other settings. So what could be the problem?

[TSpeirs]

There is a setting to turn off video thumbs. Could that have been set? Do the videos still play at all?

[AoN x KiLLa]

Yes it is enabled and yes the videos still play but not the video thumbnails.

Post your gameex.ini and log and ill take a look.

Also Im using a custom theme that I made which isn't the problem. Also it is playing the video thumb previews for videos that are like less than 2 seconds long?

[TSpeirs]

Any ideas what has happened on your system since they were working? What codecs are installed? What type of videos are they?

[AoN x KiLLa]

Nothing different happened. I thought I might had done something when making my theme but, I changed the theme and it did the same thing. And I also reinstalled GameEx all together and it still didn't work.
