|

The only known case where thumbnails might be missing on desktop is when
|
||||
uploading **videos** during a Google Takeout or watched folder sync on **Intel
|
||||
macOS** machines. This is because the bundled ffmpeg that we use does not work
|
||||
on Intel machines.
|
||||
|
||||
For images, we are able to fallback to other mechanisms for generating the
|
||||
thumbnails, but for videos because of their potentially huge size, the app
|
||||
doesn't try the fallback to avoid running out of memory.
|
||||
|
||||
In such cases, you will need to use the following workaround:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Obtain a copy of `ffmpeg` binary that works on your Intel macOS. For
|
||||
example, you can install it via `brew`. If you already have `ffmpeg`
|
||||
installed you can copying it from `/usr/local/bin` (or whereever it was
|
||||
installed).
|
||||
|
||||
2. Copy or symlink it to
|
||||
`/Applications/ente.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/ffmpeg-static/ffmpeg`.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can drag and drop the videos. Even without the above
|
||||
workaround, thumbnail generation during video uploads via the normal folder
|
||||
selection or drag and drop will work fine, since in those case we have access to
|
||||
the video's data directly without reading it from a zip and can thus use the
|
||||
fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
## Regenerating thumbnails
|
||||
|
||||
There is currently no functionality to regenerate thumbnails in the above cases.
|
||||
You will need to upload the affected files again.
