Thumbnails all the same

[eximo84]

I'm using the latest version of the plugin. My files are all in the same directory

Each video has the video, info.json and thumbnail with the same name.

However my library shows same image for each video

I saw on old post saying too use jpg rather than the default but seems to have made no difference to me here.

So noticed this file the image and json had .mp4 in the file name. Removed that and the thumbnail applied correctly.

However as you can see from my file list the webp images don't contain the video file extension in the name so these should work.

I'll try downloading a jpg version.

i am having this same issue.

Facing the same issue.

Command log:

When using "best" instead of bestvideo all the thumbnails load perfectly, but when "bestvideo" is used - all thumbnails do appear to be same.

Issue : "best" instead of "bestvideo" doesn't provide the desired quality.

yt-dlp --format "best[height<=400]+bestaudio/best" --add-metadata --embed-thumbnail --output '%(title)s [%(id)s]%(title)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s' --write-sub --write-info-json --restrict-filenames url

Any workaround? Thanks.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: youtube-dl not found on path!

This is likely a problem.

[muava12]

[ankenyr]

If you are getting the error then it is because you do not have youtube-dlp available for the plugin to use.
