How come I do not get Thumbnails from HBO and Netflix

Chameleon

How come I do not get Thumbnails from HBO and Netflix and Showtime and the rest of the providers? I know its a small thing and I am not trying to be a pain, its just a question, I am not asking for it to be fixed, I just would like to know why.

I'd actually like to disable thumbnails. I just found that the thumbnails from disney cause the player in Plex on a CCwGTV to crash when hdmi passthrough is enabled. So now I strip them when I convert the MP4 to MKV

Also I've noticed the HBO never has any meta data

Thank you for your feedback but I sort of like the Thumbnails { if that's what they are called} Let's make sure we are talking about the same thing. I will post a screenshot. These are two different one from different programs, but its just an example, I would like to have them. I really don't care what one, but I am a bit OCD and its make my collection look better.

At first I liked having them... but I rarely, if ever, use the file system to navigate to, and view my movies, so I'm fine with our without them.

I use Plex on Roku, Shield Pro, FireTV, our phones, our tablets, etc. which its own art. I occasionally use Kodi on my Shield Pro, it too uses its own art. So the files having thumbnails doesn't really matter to me.

We need more specific details, please name one or two of the videos that do not give you the Thumbnails, and post the related StreamFab log file, we will check, thank you.

I was thinking of an option to disable them, not just get rid of them completely. Because someone will like them

Yes I usually call them thumbnails. I think the actual term in a MP4 or MKV file is cover art. But it's probably something to do with the streaming provider not providing them

Thank you

New: Removed the thumbnail cover when downloading videos as MKV files.

Yes, thankyou I probably never read the notes. Thank you again. I would like the ability to use them.

I don't download as mkv. But I convert to MKV. I've always had to remux mkv files produced by the Fab products due to the way they add subtitles to them. The forced tracks arn't first and marked as forced. But that's just my OCD

I've added a option to remove them from the mkv's I create in my post process script now

If you download with StreamFab manually, (as in you pick everything in the dropdown then add to queue or download) you can select which tracks are set to default.

You just need to click to the left of the tick box so that the little orange triangle appears next to it:

Hope this helps...

Actually that only takes care of it being default but won't mark it as forced. But you can skip the extra muxing and just run a script that will then just mark it as forced after StreamFab creates the MKV

The problem is, I don't need to CC forced or default, I need the English forced to be forced, and it should be first in the list of subs. Assuming it actually downloads the forced. I also do some things with striping the annoying netflix bongs at the begging and silent credits at the end when it's needed so the extra muxing isn't that big of a deal, Most of the time it's done in a few seconds anyway.
