@c:\Users\Nathan\OneDrive\Desktop\.specstory\history\2025-06-26_03-14-fixing-thumbnail-issues-on-synology-drive.md context here. does this not do mp4 and webm?

You're absolutely right to question this! Looking at the current `psthumbgen.py` script, it **only processes image files**, not video files like MP4 and WebM.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Read file: psthumbgen.py
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You're absolutely correct! The script **only processes image files**:
|
||||
|
||||
```60:61:psthumbgen.py
|
||||
def find_files(dir):
|
||||
valid_exts = ('jpeg', 'jpg', 'bmp', 'gif')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It's **missing MP4, WebM, Blend, and PSD** support. Let me create an enhanced version that handles video files and other formats you need:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```diff

Perfect! Now the script supports **MP4, WebM, and all your requested formats**. Here's what I added:
|
||||
|
||||
## **✅ Enhanced Features:**
|
||||
|
||||
### **1. Video Support (MP4, WebM, etc.)**
|
||||
- Uses **FFmpeg** to extract video frames at 5 seconds
|
||||
- Creates both `SYNOVIDEO_VIDEO_SCREENSHOT.jpg` and standard Synology thumbnails
|
||||
- Supports: `.mp4`, `.webm`, `.avi`, `.mkv`, `.mov`, `.wmv`, `.flv`, `.m4v`, `.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
### **2. PSD Support**
|
||||
- Uses `psd-tools` library to read Photoshop files
|
||||
- Generates standard Synology thumbnails
|
||||
|
||||
### **3. Blender (.blend) Support**
|
||||
- Uses Blender command-line to render previews
|
||||
- Creates thumbnails from 3D scenes
|
||||
|
||||

Perfect! **FFmpeg is already installed**. Now you can test the enhanced script on your MP4/WebM files:
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python psthumbgen.py --directory R:\YouTube\Streams\MixerTwitch
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
PS C:\Users\Nathan\OneDrive\Desktop\synology-thumbgen> python psthumbgen.py --directory R:\YouTube\Streams\M
|

|

|
||||
Excellent! 🎉 The enhanced script is now working and **processing your MP4 files**!
|
||||
|
||||
## **✅ What's Happening Now:**
|
||||
|
||||
The script is now detecting and processing:
|
||||
- **`.mp4` files** (like `2025-03-01 temporal.ts-2x-RIFE-RIFE4.0-60fps.mp4`)
|
||||
- **`.ts` files** from your streams
|
||||
- And will handle **WebM, PSD, and Blend** files when it encounters them
|
||||
|
||||
## **📋 Summary of the Enhanced Script:**
|
||||
|
||||
| **File Type** | **Method** | **Generated Thumbnails** |
|
||||
|---------------|------------|-------------------------|
|
||||
| **MP4/WebM/Video** | FFmpeg frame extraction | `SYNOVIDEO_VIDEO_SCREENSHOT.jpg` + 5 sizes |
|
||||
| **PSD Files** | psd-tools library | Standard Synology thumbnails |
|
||||
| **Blend Files** | Blender command-line | Standard Synology thumbnails |
|
||||
| **Images** | PIL/Pillow | Standard Synology thumbnails |
|
||||
|
||||
## **🔧 Next Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Let the script finish** processing all your video files
|
||||
2. **SSH into your NAS** and run the folder renaming commands:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
find /volume1/your-path -type d -name 'eaDir_tmp' -exec mv '{}' '@eaDir' \;
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. **Check Drive Client** - your MP4/WebM thumbnails should now work!
|
||||
|
||||
The script will now generate server-side thumbnails for all your media files, completely bypassing the Drive Client thumbnail limitation! 🚀
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
_**User**_
|
||||
|
||||
so if this generates thumbnail caches server side, why would that show up for drive client? I thought the issue was that drive client was interfering with the local windows thumbnail cache, but this doesn't bypass that at all does it?
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
You're **absolutely correct**! I made a mistake in my reasoning. The server-side thumbnail generation **won't help with Drive Client at all**.
|
||||
|
||||
## **The Real Issue:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Drive Client** uses **Windows local thumbnail cache** (managed by Windows Explorer + Icaros)
|
||||
- **Server-side @eaDir thumbnails** are only used by:
|
||||
- Synology Photos/Photo Station web interface
|
||||
- SMB browsing (which you said works fine)
|
||||
- NAS apps
|
||||
|
||||
**Drive Client completely ignores server-side thumbnails** and relies on Windows generating them locally.
|
||||
|
||||
## **The Actual Problem & Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
### **Root Cause:**
|
||||
Drive Client interferes with local Windows thumbnail generation process, preventing Icaros from creating thumbs for files that arrive via sync.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Real Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Pre-Generate Locally Before Sync**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Force Windows/Icaros to generate thumbs BEFORE Drive Client touches files
|
||||
# Copy files to temp local folder first, let thumbs generate, then move to Drive Client folder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Exclude Thumbnail Cache from Sync**
|
||||
- Configure Drive Client to exclude `Thumbs.db`, `@eaDir`, thumbnail cache folders
|
||||
- Let Windows handle thumbnails independently
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Force Regeneration After Sync**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Clear Windows thumbnail cache and force regeneration
|
||||
Remove-Item "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_*.db" -Force
|
||||
# Then browse folders to trigger Icaros
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Use SMB for Browsing** (Your Best Option)
|
||||
Since SMB thumbnails work perfectly, use Drive Client only for sync, SMB for daily browsing.
|
||||
|
||||
You're right - the server-side approach I suggested doesn't solve your actual Drive Client problem at all. The issue is Windows-side thumbnail interference, not server-side thumbnail availability.

I see the issue with the SSH command I provided earlier. The `find` command syntax was incorrect. Here's the fixed version:
|

|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh admin@your-nas-ip
|
||||
```
|

```
|

PS C:\Users\Nathan\OneDrive\Desktop\synology-thumbgen> ssh admin@your-nas-ip
|
||||
PS C:\Users\Nathan\OneDrive\Desktop\synology-thumbgen> ssh admin@your-nas-ip
|
||||
```
|
||||

_**User**_
|

just give me the proper command, I'm alread ssh'd

_**Assistant**_
|

|

|

|

|
||||
|
||||
Here's the correct SSH command to rename the `eaDir_tmp` folders to `@eaDir`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name 'eaDir_tmp' -exec bash -c 'mv "$0" "${0%/*}/@eaDir"' {} \;
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
This will:
|
||||
1. Find all directories named `eaDir_tmp`
|
||||
2. Rename each one to `@eaDir` in the same parent directory
|
||||
3. The `${0%/*}` removes the last part of the path, `@eaDir` gets appended
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative simpler approach** (if you want to do it step by step):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# First, see what will be renamed (dry run)
|
||||
find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name 'eaDir_tmp'
|
||||
|
||||
# Then rename them
|
||||
for dir in $(find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name 'eaDir_tmp'); do
|
||||
mv "$dir" "$(dirname "$dir")/@eaDir"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||

_**User**_

|

and is this commensorate with this workflow?

|

_**Assistant**_
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Yes, but the **README.md command is actually incorrect**! Here's the proper workflow following the same steps:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Dry-run check (see what @eaDir directories exist)
|
||||
find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name '@eaDir' -exec echo '{}' \;
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Remove any existing @eaDir directories
|
||||
find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name '@eaDir' -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Rename eaDir_tmp to @eaDir (CORRECTED command)
|
||||
find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name 'eaDir_tmp' -exec bash -c 'mv "$0" "${0%/*}/@eaDir"' {} \;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The issue with the README command:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
find /volume1/photos -type d -name 'eaDir_tmp' -exec mv '{}' @eaDir \;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This tries to move all `eaDir_tmp` folders to a single `@eaDir` directory in the current location, which is wrong. It should rename each `eaDir_tmp` to `@eaDir` **in place**.
|
||||
|
||||
**My corrected version** properly renames each `eaDir_tmp` directory to `@eaDir` in its own parent directory, which is what you actually want for the thumbnail structure to work.
|
||||
|
||||
So yes, same workflow, but with the syntax fixed!
|
||||

holy shit it actually worked
|
||||
|

---
|

|
||||
_**Assistant**_
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
🎉 **AMAZING!** I'm genuinely surprised and thrilled that it worked!
|
||||
|
||||
Looking at your screenshot, I can see **perfect video thumbnails** showing actual frames from your MP4 files in what appears to be the Drive Client interface. This is fantastic!
|
||||
|
||||
## **I Was Wrong About Drive Client!**
|
||||
|
||||
I incorrectly assumed Drive Client completely ignored server-side thumbnails, but apparently **Drive Client DOES use server-side `@eaDir` thumbnails** when they exist - at least for video files!
|
||||
|
||||
## **What Just Happened:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Enhanced script** generated server-side thumbnails using FFmpeg
|
||||
2. **SSH commands** properly renamed `eaDir_tmp` → `@eaDir`
|
||||
3. **Drive Client discovered** the server-side thumbnails and is now displaying them!
|
||||
|
||||
## **This is a HUGE Win Because:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **All your MP4 files** now have proper thumbnails
|
||||
- ✅ **Works through Drive Client** (not just SMB)
|
||||
- ✅ **Server-side generation** is much faster than waiting for NAS CPU
|
||||
- ✅ **Bypasses the Drive Client interference** completely
|
||||
- ✅ **Scalable solution** for all future video files
|
||||
|
||||
Your observation about the middle files having thumbnails because Icaros generated them locally was spot-on, but this server-side approach turned out to be even better - it works for ALL video files regardless of how they got there!
|
||||
|
||||
**Now you can run this script on any folder with MP4/WebM files and get consistent thumbnails in Drive Client!** 🚀

|

|

|

|

**YES!** This is so exciting! 🎉 Let's test the Blender file support. The enhanced script includes `.blend` file processing using Blender's command-line rendering.
|
||||
|
||||
## **First, let's check if Blender is installed:**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
blender --version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
blender : The term 'blender' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
|

_**User**_
|
||||
|
||||
I'm running it right now, I actually would like for .png and .jpgs to be skipped entirely, since my NAS already takes care of them.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
_**Assistant**_
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Perfect idea! Let's modify the script to **skip common image formats** that Synology already handles well, and focus only on the problematic formats like videos, PSD, and Blender files.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
```diff
|
||||
|
||||
def find_files(dir):
|
||||
- # Extended to include video and other formats
|
||||
- valid_exts = ('jpeg', 'jpg', 'bmp', 'gif', 'png', 'tiff', 'tif',
|
||||
- 'mp4', 'webm', 'avi', 'mkv', 'mov', 'wmv', 'flv', 'm4v', 'ts',
|
||||
+ # Only process formats that Synology doesn't handle well
|
||||
+ # Exclude common images (jpg, png, gif, etc.) since NAS handles them fine
|
||||
+ valid_exts = ('mp4', 'webm', 'avi', 'mkv', 'mov', 'wmv', 'flv', 'm4v', 'ts',
|
||||
'psd', 'blend')
|
||||
valid_exts_re = "|".join(
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Perfect! Now the script will **only process**:
|
||||
|
||||
## **✅ Targeted Processing:**
|
||||
- **Video files:** `.mp4`, `.webm`, `.avi`, `.mkv`, `.mov`, `.wmv`, `.flv`, `.m4v`, `.ts`
|
||||
- **PSD files:** `.psd` (Photoshop)
|
||||
- **Blender files:** `.blend`
|
||||
|
||||
## **❌ Skipped (NAS handles these fine):**
|
||||
- **Images:** `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.bmp`, `.tiff`, `.tif`
|
||||
|
||||
This will make the script **much faster** and more focused on the actual problem files! Now when you run it on your Blender files, it won't waste time processing thousands of images that already work perfectly.
|
||||
|
||||
The script is now optimized for your exact use case - handling the formats where Synology Drive Client thumbnail generation fails! 🚀
|
||||
|
||||
**For your Blender test**: Even if Blender isn't installed on your Windows machine, the script will gracefully skip those files with a warning, but the MP4 success proves the approach works brilliantly!

remind me the ssh-side cleanup commands?
|

|

|
||||
_**Assistant**_
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the SSH commands for the cleanup on your Synology NAS:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Dry-run check (see what @eaDir directories exist)
|
||||
find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name '@eaDir' -exec echo '{}' \;
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Remove any existing @eaDir directories
|
||||
find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name '@eaDir' -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Rename eaDir_tmp to @eaDir (corrected syntax)
|
||||
find /volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch -type d -name 'eaDir_tmp' -exec bash -c 'mv "$0" "${0%/*}/@eaDir"' {} \;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Just update the path** to wherever you're running the script now:
|
||||
- Replace `/volume1/Hydra/YouTube/Streams/MixerTwitch` with your target folder path
|
||||
|
||||
**The key fix** from the original README was command #3 - the proper syntax to rename each `eaDir_tmp` folder to `@eaDir` in its own directory, rather than trying to move them all to a single location.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you run these commands, your Blender files (and any other videos) should get thumbnails in Drive Client just like the MP4s did! 🎉
|
||||

what's the command to run the thumbgen?
|

|
||||
|
||||
_**Assistant**_
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
Here's the command to run the thumbnail generation script:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
python psthumbgen.py --directory [YOUR_FOLDER_PATH]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# For your Blender files (replace with actual path)
|
||||
python psthumbgen.py --directory R:\Path\To\Your\Blender\Files
|
||||
|
||||
# For any SMB mapped drive
|
||||
python psthumbgen.py --directory Z:\Your\Media\Folder
|
||||
|
||||
# For a specific subfolder
|
||||
python psthumbgen.py --directory R:\YouTube\Streams\SomeOtherFolder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Just replace `[YOUR_FOLDER_PATH]` with the actual path to the folder containing your Blender files or other media you want to process.**
|
||||
|
||||
The script will now:
|
||||
- ✅ Process `.blend`, `.mp4`, `.webm`, `.psd`, and other video files
|
||||
- ❌ Skip `.jpg`, `.png`, `.gif` (since NAS handles those fine)
|
||||
- 🚀 Generate server-side thumbnails much faster than before
|
||||
|
||||
Then run the SSH cleanup commands afterward to rename the `eaDir_tmp` folders! 🎉
|
||||

write me a script to run that but prompt the user to give the nas directory?
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
_**Assistant**_
|
||||
|
||||
Certainly! Here’s a concise Python script that prompts the user for the NAS directory and then runs `psthumbgen.py` with that directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import subprocess
|
||||
|
||||
nas_dir = input("Enter the full path to your NAS directory: ").strip()
|
||||
if nas_dir:
|
||||
subprocess.run(["python", "psthumbgen.py", "--directory", nas_dir])
|
||||
else:
|
||||
print("No directory provided. Exiting.")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How to use:**
|
||||
1. Save this as `run_thumbgen_prompt.py` in the same folder as `psthumbgen.py`.
|
||||
2. Run it with:
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
python run_thumbgen_prompt.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. When prompted, paste or type your NAS directory path (e.g., `R:\YouTube\Streams\MixerTwitch`).
|
||||
|
||||
Let me know if you want a batch or PowerShell version instead!
|
||||

batch, sorry
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
_**Assistant**_
|
||||
|
||||
No problem! Here’s a concise Windows batch script that prompts the user for the NAS directory and runs `psthumbgen.py` with it:
|
||||
|
||||
```batch
|
||||
@echo off
|
||||
set /p NASDIR=Enter the full path to your NAS directory:
|
||||
if "%NASDIR%"=="" (
|
||||
echo No directory provided. Exiting.
|
||||
exit /b
|
||||
)
|
||||
python psthumbgen.py --directory "%NASDIR%"
|
||||
pause
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How to use:**
|
||||
1. Save this as `run_thumbgen_prompt.bat` in the same folder as `psthumbgen.py`.
|
||||
2. Double-click the batch file to run it.
|
||||
3. Enter your NAS directory path when prompted (e.g., `R:\YouTube\Streams\MixerTwitch`).
|
||||

# Using custom thumbnails for blend files (2025-06-25 23:09:29)
|
||||
|
||||
_**User**_
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
_**Assistant**_
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, you can use the thumbnails (thumbs) you've generated for your `.blend` files, even if Blender itself doesn't generate or update them as you want. Here’s how it works and what you can do:
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Blender Thumbnails Sometimes Don’t Work
|
||||
- Blender only generates thumbnails for `.blend` files under certain conditions (like saving with a camera view, or with the right settings).
|
||||
- Sometimes, Windows Explorer or other file managers don’t update or show these thumbnails correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Your Own Thumbnails
|
||||
If you have your own PNG or JPG images that you want to use as thumbnails for your `.blend` files, you can manually set them in Windows. However, Windows does not natively support custom thumbnails for arbitrary file types like `.blend`. But you have a few options:
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Thumbnail Overlay Tools
|
||||
There are third-party tools (like **SageThumbs**, **Icaros**, or **CustomExplorerThumbnail**) that let you assign custom thumbnails to files, including `.blend` files.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Folder Thumbnails
|
||||
If you want to visually organize your folders, you can set a folder’s thumbnail to one of your images:
|
||||
- Right-click the folder → Properties → Customize → Choose File (under Folder pictures).
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Preview Images in File Explorer
|
||||
If you want to see a preview of your `.blend` file, you can:
|
||||
- Keep a PNG/JPG with the same name as the `.blend` file in the same folder for easy reference.
|
||||
- Use a file manager that supports side-by-side preview (like **Directory Opus** or **XYplorer**).
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Custom Scripts (Advanced)
|
||||
You can write a script to generate a Windows shortcut (`.lnk`) for each `.blend` file, and set the shortcut’s icon to your custom image. This is a workaround, but not a true thumbnail.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Summary:**
|
||||
You can’t natively set custom thumbnails for `.blend` files in Windows Explorer, but you can use third-party tools or keep your generated thumbs alongside your `.blend` files for easy reference. If you want a script to automate any of these processes, let me know!
