Good evening Everyone,

Here is the latest build, ready for testing.
It doesn't really introduce a lot of new things, but it does improve quite a bit on a lot of existing features.
Internally the code has been moved around some to make these improvements possible, but hopefully that
hasn't introduced any regressions since the last build. Be sure to let me know if you run into any new bugs! :)

Not much else to say today.

Enjoy the new release! ;)

[Icaros v.3.1.1 Beta 2]

- Fixed HEVC thumbnailing crash on newer CPUs (e.g. AMD Ryzen 9 3900X)
- Fixed thumbnailing when 'Prefer Timestamp' is enabled
- Fixed artifacts on HEVC thumbnails
- Fixed keyboard controls for the sliders on the UI settings page
- Fixed a handful of odd thumbnailing issues, where specific files didn't produce a thumbnail.
- Improved black/white frame detection. It should return better looking thumbnails more often now.
- Improved seeking to a prefered timestamp. Seeking accuracy should be much better now.
- Added 'AV1' codec id to Icaros Property Handler
- Icaros now adds the source filename to the crash dialog in case of a thumbnail related crash
- Updated Russian localization (Thank you Ligre! ^_^)
- Updated dav1d to 0.4.0
- Updated FFmpeg

Getting explorer crashes after installing KB4517211 and KB4522738 (Windows updates that appeared this week) using Windows 10 1903 x64 with Icaros 3.1.1 Beta 2 when the CACHE feature is enabled. When I disable it, no crash. Any idea what is going on?

I have also both Updates installed and I have set Cache to ENABLED (DYNAMIC) and there is no issue here. Did you get other updates as well, probably driver updates via Windows Update?

Just like Klaus1189, I can't reproduce this issue. (Thanks for testing, Klaus!)
Could you check your event log and see what it reports.

You could also try to enable Debug mode in Icaros, using the below registry files.
It basically makes Icaros generate a minidump instead of just crashing.

Minidump Error while building cache.

Machine - Windows 10 1903 (16 GB) Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362 (fully Windows patched as of 10/23/2019)

Tried to attach Mini Dump file (IcarosThumbnailProvider.dll-3.1.0.302-10.23.dmp) but received an error message (You can upload a maximum of 8.39 bytes at once) Minidump file size is 164,154 KB

I did attach a MS Word document of screenshots.

It seems that icaros_1280.icdb gets over 4,000,000+ KB in size and then I get a minidump.

After mini dump icaros_1280.icdb files goes to zero.

Please let me know how to attach dmp files.

Please let me know what other data you need to troubleshoot.

Hi mlehman01,

Thanks for the report.
Looking at the size of the icdb file, this is almost certainly an overflow error, caused by me being short sighted somewhere in the cache code.
I'll be sure to run some tests and investigate.

You are more than welcome to upload the dump file to a filehost like Google Drive or mediafire and send it directly to me at xanashi [at] gmail [dot] com.

I'll try to fix it as soon as possible!

Can you please make an option that allows for the generation of multiple thumbnails that cycle through themselves automatically? Perhaps 5 or 6 per video as default setting but could be customized by user to any given number.

Unfortunately, that's simply not possible atm. A feature like that would have to be implemented directly into File Explorer by Microsoft.
Icaros doesn't control how a thumbnail is presented in File Explorer, it only provides the image.

So to get a feature like this, you either have to use a third-party software as your file browser (that has this feature built-in),
or hope that MS adds it at some point.
