Custom Thumbnail Size

mutedtommy

MediaBin generates following thumbnail sizes when an asset is ingested:

1. 16x16
2. 32x32
3. 64x64
4. 128x128
5. 256x256
6. 512x512

I wanted to change these standard dimensions or probably add a new size for thumbnail. I tried adding a new thumbnail size in c_PostUpdate.tsk. I stopped the MediaBin server and added new primitives for 25x25 thumbnail in c_PostUpdate.tsk.

After making this change I started the MediaBin server and uploaded a new asset into the server. Then I tried accessing the new thumbnail using the AssetThumbnail streamer: http://:8080/mediabin/action/vmbRedirect?target=/MBWS/AssetThumbnail/{asset id}/0/25. It does not show me the thumbnail with new dimensions. If I change it to 16, 32, 64 or any other size defined in c_PostUpdate.tsk MediaBin shows the correct thumbnail. I have attached the code added for new thumbnail size with this post.

Am I missing something here? Or there is some other way of generating thumbnails in additional sizes?

I'm pretty sure that non-standard image previews has not been tested, and therefore not supported.  

 

What's the use case for having MediaBin generate and store preview images with those dimensions?  You can create retrieval tasks to generate images of assets with those dimensions.
