Is three thumbnails option for jpg/jpeg and video files?

I would really like to have this feature!
There should be a background process creating thumbnails for all folders shared on the Media server app

Well, I fixed it!

Just connect through SSH and go to and edit UMS.conf
Change image_thumbnails to true and thumbnails to true as well.

Restart and you should have thumbnails working properly. Don't know why this is not offered through the UI or used as the default values, as it works well and very fast.

When I try this it tells me "permission denied", any idea why? Account is an administrative one. Tried going through the default admin account too, same result.

Probably need to use "sudo"

Haha that brought up the following:

"We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility."

Followed by "command not found". Managed to get superuser working "$" changed to "#". But still didn't work. When I searched for "UMS.conf" it said it didn't exist.

I just used WinSCP and solved the whole thing.
