Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have a riff on vktRus's fix that is a bit of an improvement.

There are a few important things to know about this issue.

On 19/12/2009, Shell Integration was removed from Haali Media Splitter. That's the bit that generates the thumbnails! Supposedly it will later be available as a stand alone download. At the moment it's non-existent.

The fix previously posted works around the issue by installing the last version of the Haali filter that still has the feature.

The attached file has the missing component (mmfinfo.dll) which you want to copy to your Haali installation folder and register it.

This gives us a fix that will work with all recent versions of HMS. (You can download the latest here: http://haali.su/mkv/)

The other problem is that occasionally the {BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1} key already has a (default) value.

If it is not {327669A0-59A7-4be9-B99E-1C9F3A57611A}, the thumbnail_enable.reg may not replace it with the correct value.

So if you still have a few stubborn thumbnails, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.XXX\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1} (.xxx is your problem file type), and make sure (Default) is {327669A0-59A7-4be9-B99E-1C9F3A57611A}. If not change it or create new keys/strings as needed.

Besides adding extra steps to the readme file, I expanded the thumbnail_enable.reg file to include:

.asf, .avi, .mpe, .m2v, .mpeg, .mpg, .wmv, .ogm, .mp4, .mpv, .flv and .mkv.

Feel free to add or subtract whatever you want.

Btw, some people say that .mkv thumbnails do not work with Haali/CoreAVC. I use CoreAVC and my thumbnails work just fine with this method.

So now you know the root of the problem and have a fix to go with it that you can customize as needed.

Edit: Hmm. Can't make the attachment stick (yes the file is below 2mb.)

Here's a RapidShare link. Maybe someone else can figure out what I'm doing wrong and attach it: http://rapidshare.com/files/410938832/Enable_Thumbnails.zip

LINK is dead.

Can you repost?

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
