How to change the thumbnail in VLC Android?
Changing the thumbnail in VLC Android involves a few simple steps. First, open the VLC Android app and navigate to the video file for which you want to change the thumbnail. Then, long press on the file to bring up a menu of options. From this menu, select the option to edit the file info. In the file info window, you will see an option to change the thumbnail. Tap on this option and select the thumbnail image you want to use. Once you have selected the new thumbnail, tap on the save button to set it as the new thumbnail for the file. You can repeat this process for any other video files for which you want to change the thumbnail.
Why is VLC not showing correct thumbnails?
VLC media player relies on external libraries to extract and display thumbnail images. In some instances, these libraries may not be properly installed or configured on the system, resulting in VLC not being able to display the correct thumbnail images for certain video files. Additionally, some video file formats may not be supported by the thumbnail extraction libraries used by VLC. To remedy this issue, users can try adjusting the settings in VLC to force thumbnail extraction or install and configure additional libraries that are compatible with VLC. It may also be helpful to ensure that the video files being used are in a supported format and that they are not corrupted or damaged.
