No thumbnail for .MOD files

[sk2107]

Hello,

From all the video types I have, only .MOD does not have a thumbnail or view in preview window although it set as a default as all other video types.

Kindly advise.

Could you please send some information from your registry:

• From the Start menu, search for:
  regedit
• Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mod
• What is the data shown for (Default) ?
• Navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp4
• What is the data shown for (Default) ?

With this information we can work out where your thumbnail handlers and previews handlers are installed.

Thank you.

Now we know the class: mplayerc64.mp4
I am assuming mp4 files show thumbnails and preview OK.

Same thing again with:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4

• From the Start menu, search for:
  regedit
• Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\ShellEx
• What is shown ?

Then it's just a matter of copying the thumbnail handler and preview handler to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.mod\ShellEx (or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mod\ShellEx)

Thumbnail handler: {E357FCCD-A995-4576-B01F-234630154E96}
Preview Handler: {8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}

We need to see the thumbnail handler and preview handler for mp4 files:

• From the Start menu, search for:
  regedit
• Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\ShellEx
• Could you please export this full key and post it in your reply.

I did not find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\ShellEx but the is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\Shell which is this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\shell\enqueue]
@="Add to MPC-HC playlist"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\K-Lite Codec Pack\\MPC-HC64\\mpc-hc64.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\shell\enqueue\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\K-Lite Codec Pack\\MPC-HC64\\mpc-hc64.exe\" /add \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\shell\open]
@="&Play with MPC-HC"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\K-Lite Codec Pack\\MPC-HC64\\mpc-hc64.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.mp4\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\K-Lite Codec Pack\\MPC-HC64\\mpc-hc64.exe\" \"%1\""

But I noticed one thing that I am using K-Lite Codec Pack 17.8.5 and .MOD extension is not included (I think) , could it be the reason?

Thank you

Thank you for the information.

.mod is associated with VLC and .mp4 with mplayerc64.

VLC doesn't appear to support thumbnails or previews for .mod files.



I am still missing the preview handler for your MP4 files.
I'm not sure what to try for .mod files..

In the registry, what is listed under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp4



Please try the following:

In the registry editor (running as admin), create the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mod\ShellEx\{E357FCCD-A995-4576-B01F-234630154E96}
Set the (default) value data to: {c5aec3ec-e812-4677-a9a7-4fee1f9aa000}

(this sets the thumbnail handler to mplayerc64)

create the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mod\ShellEx\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}
Set the (default) value data to: {9DBD2C50-62AD-11D0-B806-00C04FD706EC}

(this sets the preview handler to the stock Windows preview handler for videos)
-You could also try mplayerc64 with the data value: {c5aec3ec-e812-4677-a9a7-4fee1f9aa000}
(I'm unsure if mplayerc64 has a preview handler)

Hit F5 in Everything and see if thumbnails/previews work for .mod files.

Unfortunately it did not work.

Could you please send a small MOD file to support@voidtools.com

I'll try to get something going..

[sk2107]

Hello,
Sorry for the delay in replying, actually I restarted my laptop now and checked the list and the thumbnails showed up. Thank you for your patience.

But in any case I have sent a .MOD file to the support email as requested because while searching for a solution I noticed that this is a common problem with windows explorer that thumbnails are showing for all types of videos except .MOD.


Thank you again and Best Regards.

[sk2107]

Hello,
I tried the same setting (reg values you provided) with other extensions like psd and tga which are opened with image viewers, and I just restated Everything and all thumbnails became available.

You are great.

Thanks a lot again.

Best Regards
