Thumbnail generator error with MPV
Free media player with support for Youtube

I have an error creating thumbnails using mpv engine:
The following error has occurred while creating the thumbnails:
The file /tmp/smplayer_preview/00000001.jpg doesn't exist
If I change engine to mplayer it works fine. Why this error occurs with mpv?
SMPlayer version: 17.4.0 (revision 8495)
MPV version: git-ad2d10a
OS: Linux Mint 17.1 x64
There was a fix for the thumbnail generator in smplayer 17.4 for recent versions of mpv. Unfortunately the fix isn't compatible with older versions of mpv. I think mpv git-ad2d10a is v. 0.15 which is more than a year old.

I've just added (svn r8524) a fix for the problem.
Updating mpv to the latest version resolved this problem.
Thank you, Ricardo.
