Did something with the CLI change from 5.x to 6.x? My old batch files seem to run videothumbnailsmaker.exe, but don't produce thumbnails anymore. Typing the command line manually yields same result. No error message, yet no thumbnails. Everything was working fine from 3.x~5.x.

Please make sure you did not redirect output from the program to a folder.

I didn't even know that was even possible. My launch syntax has always been:

"C:\blahblah\VideoThumbnailsMaker.exe" "C:\blahblah\Presets\Base_Preset_1.vtm" "filename"

"Output folder" can not be set using CLI.
It can be set only in Environment window in the program.
Console version of the programm still using GUI Environment settings, although they are not specified in CLI.
So please run the program and check "Output folder" setting.

In the GUI "Output folder" is unchecked, both under "Quick settings" and environment window.

Are there any diagnostic messages in Diag.log file in the program's folder (right after CLI failure)?

Diag.log:

Code: Select all

17:31 PM
Process started.
2:17:31 PM
Wrong Command Line arguments.
2:17:32 PM
Command Line: ConsoleRender function failed.]
Here's the exact command I typed to get that log file:

Code: Select all

"c:\Utilities\Video Thumbnails Maker\VideoThumbnailsMaker.exe" "c:\Utilities\Video Thumbnails Maker\Presets\Base_Preset_1.vtm" "Ando Lloyd EP01 720p HDTV x264 AAC-NGB.mkv"
All files are present at those locations since I use auto-completion.

As far as I understand, your video files are situated in the program's folder, am I right?
Have you tried to specify full path to the video?

It should look somthing like that:

Code: Select all

"c:\Utilities\Video Thumbnails Maker\VideoThumbnailsMaker.exe" "c:\Utilities\Video Thumbnails Maker\Presets\Base_Preset_1.vtm" "d:\Video\Ando Lloyd EP01 720p HDTV x264 AAC-NGB.mkv"

I gave that a try with a full path to video file but still doesn't work. Same error in log.

Ok, we have found a bug in console version of the program (6.4.0.x), when a preset file is specified.
I will fix it ASAP.
Thank you for your assistance!

Has been fixed in VTM version 6.4.0.2.
