Glad to see it’s working! And yes, windows update (or something ells) did manage mess up the thumbnails once again but as you say, the update of K-Lite fixed it (this time 590)!

Your correct Daniel -

If it stops working, it’s probably due to a windows update, just download the latest Full version of K-lite and it will start to work just as before.

any problems let me know.

This will also allow you to view avi’s MPG4’s as well as FLV’s plus a lot of others, which makes it so much easier to see what you have in a folder !

Ok, so I updated the K-Lite Codec Pack to 570 (feb 2010) and now explorer (WinXP pro SP3) shows thumbnails for both “normal” flv-files and those with H.264/mp4 containers. Others may perhaps confirm this.

Ok, good to know! But I believe that this is due to that some flv-files are rendered with a H264/AVC (MP4) container and those files don’t show up as thumbnails. “Normal” flash rendered videos, however, still give proper thumbnails. Maybe this could be something to look into?
