H265 video thumbnails, Format profile dependent?

Help & Support
1

To enable H265 video thumbnails it was necessary to install HEVC codec from MS Store.
But over time found out that still not for all H265 files previews are generated.
Meaning this is due to profiles used in video?

Thumbnail is shown.

Video
ID                          : 1
Format                      : HEVC
Format/Info                 : High Efficiency Video Coding
Format profile              : Main@L4@Main
Codec ID                    : hvc1
Codec ID/Info               : High Efficiency Video Coding

Thumbnail is not shown.

Is the same true in File Explorer? Video thumbnails usually come from Windows and not anything specific to Opus.

Yes, Explorer behaves same, no preview.
Meaning we cannot do much about it, and issue can be closed? :slight_smile:

It seems K-Lite Codec Pack does include thumbnail stuff which improves image generation. Once installed, problem is no more presented.
