Thumbnail generation stuck at 0%

[ghost]

Thumbnails are always blank, and say "0%". Does anybody know of a way to fix this?

This should fix it #91

I've tried this. It didn't work for me :/

Does mpv say anything on the command-line when you're starting to play a video?

For me the error message before chaning the --o to -o was:

[mpv_thumbnail_script_server] Thumbnailing command failed!
[mpv_thumbnail_script_server] mpv process error: nil
[mpv_thumbnail_script_server] Process stdout:
[mpv_thumbnail_script_server] Debug log: /tmp/mpv_thumbs_cache/S01E02-842550121/000000.bgra.log
[mpv_thumbnail_script_server] Output file missing! /tmp/mpv_thumbs_cache/S01E02-842550121/000000.bgra

I'm not sure what command-line you mean, but mpv itself isn't giving me any errors when I start playing a video.
Where do I check the error log?

Guys....
Just use the fork: https://github.com/marzzzello/mpv_thumbnail_script

Alright, thank you, but now that I'm using the fork it tells me "Thumbnailing failed, check console for more details".
I don't know how to check the console. The mpv manual says that the console is displayed on the video window, but it isn't.

No console is displayed by default.. there is a built-in console though, it's bound to the backtick key by default, but you can obviously rebind it..

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/etc/input.conf#L95

#` script-binding console/enable        # open the console

Console output

My dumbass didn't set the right cache directory for the thumbnails in my mpv_thumbnail_script.conf.
It's fixed now, thanks for the help!
