lack of ffmpegthumbnailer on Windows (solved)

Open OmnyH opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

While I was looking for a Windows version of ffmpegthumbnailer, ChatGPT suggested to create it in GO. Since that wasn't enough to get thumbnails, I studied the code and ChatGPT suggested modifications that allow me to have a version of dms.exe that perfectly delivers thumbnails. My ffmpegthumbnailer.exe is here: https://github.com/OmnyH/ffmpegthumbnailer.exe And the modified version of dms.go

Thank you for your simple server that I use with context menus on both Windows and Linux.

It should be possible to not modify dms to use your thumbnailer if the name is ffmpegthumbnailer? I don't quite follow the reasoning on why changes are needed per your README.

I'm happy to include a link to your implementation and some instructions for Windows if the change is minimal. Feel free to make a PR to include how to do that in the README for dms.

Hm I was going to suggest you can just use ffmpeg but I see your wrapper just does that anyway.
