Hi,

when I try to generate thumbnails I have two output formats available: JPG and PNG. If I choose PNG I get this error message: "The file /tmp/smplayer_preview/00000005.png doesn't exist". JPG, on the other hand, works fine. Obviously, I'm missing a peace of the puzzle so the question is: Which component is SMPlayer using for PNG compression?

Using the old MPlayer solves the problem with PNG output, but this MPlayer cannot decode all video formats and has a few other downsides which is why I decided to use MPlayer2. Anyway, thanx for helping!

I think this is fixed in svn r6416. Now smplayer doesn't use the outdir option with png, so it works with mplayer2 too.

Sorry for the late reply...
I compiled SMPlayer from source using the latest revision (which is 6558) and now it's working with MPlayer2 as well. Thanx for the great support!
