Doesn't work but I found the solution!

Line 525 of mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua, should be ("--o=%s"):format(output_path) instead of "--o", output_path, because recently if you don't do it, you will get this error:

[ 0.004][f][cplayer] Error parsing commandline option o: option requires parameter

Thanks

This fixed it for me! It seems a (different) (also working for me) fix is already in the source code in master branch, but not in the releases page linked in the README.

Works with mpv, but not mpv.net.

Now if only that cure would find its way back into the release...

(It's still giving this error as of November 11, 2020).

@emk2203, Hi, can you please give me the exact error you get?

How about close this issue?

This problem occurs because downloading the legacy script mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua from https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script/releases lastest released from "Feb 8, 2018".

This was fixed at commit 682becf5b5115c2a206b4f0bdee413d4be8b5bef at "Jan 17, 2020".

Steps to get the lastest mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua and mpv_thumbnail_script_client_osc.lua:

$ git clone https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script
$ cd mpv_thumbnail_script
$ make
./concat_files.py -r cat_server.json
Concatenated source files to 'mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua'
./concat_files.py -r cat_osc.json
Concatenated source files to 'mpv_thumbnail_script_client_osc.lua'

Why not create a new release?
