minidlna 1.3.3 thumbnail configure

[HPP8140]

Hi,
Planning to update from 1.1.2 to 1.3.3 because I am upgrading to Debian Bookworm and cannot get 1.1.2 to build.

Question: How to we enable thumbnail in 1.3.3? I don't see the enable_thumbnail option in configure? Is there 1.3.3 thumbnail patch?

Build:
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-thumbnail
make

Thanks

I posted an updated patch on the thumbnails thread

Wow appreciate the quick response. Thanks for keeping us up to date; otherwise, this would have been a show stopper for me! I was able to build 1.3.3 and test a video thumbnail.

After 10yrs using 1.1.2, I expected the thumbnail feature to be integrated into the main code by now...don't understand.

Now I need to integrate back all my customizations from 1.1.2 into 1.3.3, some parts have changed drastically, but noticed bookmarks is broken again on my Samsung F series tv.

Am I missing something with ffmpeg above? Lots of no.

Wow that is fantastic, thanks.

I've incorporated that patch into the Debian package, source package minidlna, version 1.3.3+dfsg-0.2, file debian/patches/15-thumbnails.patch. I'm not the official maintainer, so that's just a Non-Maintainer-Upload. Currently in debian/unstable, should migrate to debian/testing in a few days.

If there's anyone who would test its functionality, that would be great! Please file on bugs.debian.org if you find any issues, although of course you can also report here if you're sure it's an issue in the thumbnail code per-se.

Two loose ends. First, it would be nice if this were "upstreamed" of course. Second, I'm not sure what to put in the patch header: there's a place for an author, date, maybe a pointer to a git repo, stuff like that so people can track it down for updates or to share fixes and such.
