Thumbnail loading time extremely long ? (local files)

vectormagic

Hello,

Device : PC and Oculus Rift S
DeoVR : version 9.1 (issue occured on old version too)

I have local videos on my hard drive and I noticed that thumbnail for videos are very long to load.

While browsing a folder, a page can contain 9 videos at a time. Generating those Thumbnail can take up to 1 minute for 9 videos, sometimes.

When it's finally loaded, it's fine, but the next time DeoVR is launched, it needs to generate and load the whole thing.

Is is a known issue ? Is there any fix ?
Thank you !

I'm experiencing the same issue and I thought perhaps there might be a folder DeoVR stores thumbnails in that I'm accidentally deleting but I'm beginning to think it's not me since others are having the same problem.

I allowed DeoVR to just make lots and lots of thumbnails thinking they'd be there next time but they're usually gone and it takes a heck of a lot of time to generate them over and over.

I try showing thumbnails and it seems DeoVR has difficulties in video file names that contains Japanese or Korean. It will forever stuck in those names.
Which makes me recall that for certain video with long filename and folder name. DeoVR cannot even play it. Yeah, DeoVR has some major flaws in file name handling.
I suggest that don't use thumbnails, display names only, and use English shorter file names and folder names.
