Disable Thumbnail Creation Option
I love the features that are incorporated into Serviio, and very often I find myself jealous of other DLNA players. I see all the things that Serviio supports that the XBox 360 doesn't. Makes me want to get a separate player at some point, but that isn't the point... Thumbnail creation, while very handy for most DLNA Players out there, is pointless on the XBox, because M$, in their infinite wisdom, decided to put together an extremely pathetic DLNA implementation. It doesn't support reading those thumbnails. So my thought, why have serviio generate all of them if the XBox is the only player on the network? Why take the time and processing power to generate something that will never be used?
Because of this, I was wondering if you could put an option somewhere (even deep in a config file) to disable thumbnail creation? I realize most people use better players than the XBox, and as such, I could see why you wouldn't necessarily want to throw this in the GUI and possibly confuse people. If wanted, I can throw this request on bitbucket, but I don't know if you want them there first, or if you want to see them on the forum first.
Just a suggestion... and thanks again for all your hard work on this. I don't know what I would do without it... wait, I would still probably be fighting with ushare and PMS. So thank you for that, I really don't need to lose anymore hair.
