video.ts files cant be shown in preview pane

[MalcomNeon]

The preview pane always shows the thumbnail of videos in different formats but doesnt with .ts files. It always shows that the file is too big to preview.
All .ts files thumbnails can be shown normally in the windows explorer preview pane.

This might occur if Everything is running as an administrator.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Does the issue persist?

[MalcomNeon]

Yes it does. And all settings you mentioned were already applied.

Debug logs might help:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /debug_log
• Click on a different ts file.
  --repeat until the error is shown--
• Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
• Restart Everything.

Could you please send your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt to support@voidtools.com

Could you please send a screenshot of the error to support@voidtools.com



Please try changing the preview context:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /preview_context=5

If this doesn't help, please reset your preview context:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /preview_context=0

Please try enabling preview_release_handler_on_clear:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /preview_release_handler_on_clear=1
• Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
• Restart Everything.

Have you changed your config_preview_load_size ini setting?
-This should be 0
(0 means use 1024 * DPI scale)

Are you using a large DPI?
-A large DPI might cause Everything to try to load thumbnails that are too big.

I tried all mentioned with no luck
I have sent you the debug file.

Thank you for the debug logs and screenshot.

The logs show Everything successfully creates a preview for the ts files.
Unfortunately, it is the Power Toys preview handler showing the "This file is too big to preview. Max file size: 50KB" error.



There might be an issue with Everything and how the preview handler is initialized.

Everything till try to initialize the preview handler in the following order:

• as a stream. (recommended by Microsoft)
• as a file.
• as a shell item.

Power Toys preview handler doesn't support streams, so Everything will fallback to file.
This fallback to "initialize as file" might explain why you see an error in Everything and not in Windows Explorer.


I don't have a good solution at this stage.

Do thumbnails for ts files work in Everything in thumbnail mode? (View -> Thumbnails)
Disabling the preview in Everything for TS files and showing the thumbnail in the preview pane is an option in Everything 1.5.



Please make sure you are using the x64 version of Everything.

Do thumbnails for ts files work in Everything in thumbnail mode?

Yes, but I prefer details mode.
By the way, file.ts.lnk preview works in preview pane.

Disabling the preview in Everything for TS files and showing the thumbnail in the preview pane is an option in Everything 1.5.

For only ts files? I've downloaded this version but didn't get how can I do this?

(I'm guessing) in Everything.ini (with Everything closed) set preview_include_only_files= to,

preview_include_only_files=*.ts

Or via about:config (will force an Everything restart).
Or via Everything search bar,

/preview_include_only_files=*.ts

[void]

Please leave preview_include_only_files to include all files.
Please try setting preview_exclude_files to: *.ts

• In Everything 1.5
• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /preview_include_only_files=
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• If successful, preview_include_only_files= is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
  ---
• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /preview_exclude_files=*.ts
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• If successful, preview_exclude_files=*.ts is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

Everything will now show thumbnails of ts files in the preview pane.

preview_include_only_files
preview_exclude_files

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1330a initializes previews as a "shell item" instead of a "file".

This is only done if the preview handler doesn't support initialization as a "stream".

Does this help?
