  1. Lost icon art image on all mp4 files


    I have a large music collection mixed with mp3 and mp4 files. After the last Windows update, all my mp4 icons lost their image. My mp3s were not affected. Does anyone know why this is happening or know how to fix it?

    :)

    Some MP4 Files Are Not Displaying Icons in File Explorer

    I've ripped several DVDs to MP4s. In Windows (7 or 10 - 64bit) file explorer, some of the icons for the MP4 files display as the movie poster and some of the icons appear as a snapshot of the 1st still
    (e.g. opening credits vs. movie poster). Is there a way to get all the MP4 icons to display as movie posters? Note: All movies play as expected.

    Thanks for your help.

    • Are you referring to a particular file or the folder?

      Files: some .mp4 files are not displaying an icon like the others...see details in the attached example.

      Folder: Video Folder
    • Have you converted these files using third party converter?

      Yes, I converted these files to .mp4 using Handbrake. Note: I used Handbrake on all the files I converted. Some of the icons display correctly as movie posters and some do not. I cannot find the root cause.

    • Is the issue specific to a particular file format or you cannot see the thumbnails of all formats?

      As I mentioned in my original post, I can see the movie poster icon for some of the .mp4 files, but not all of them. Not clear why the display is inconsistent.

    And files renamed as well. Cover Art Images was placed on mp4 files with free program called mp3tag.

    USB doesn't display MP4 file!


    I have a 300kb mix of .png, .jpg, .pdf files on a 4Gb USB drive. I added a 2Gb MP4 movie but it doesn't display in the drive files. I used CCleaner to check the drive F files .. it only shows up as 2Gb of OTHER FILES, but not in the listed files.

    Any (constructive) suggestions welcome. I can't remove it as it doesn't show in the file list.
