Is there anyway to see a thumbnail in Win 10

[Bsmooth]

I have tried numerous times to use MKVToolnix to have a visable thumbnail for my MKV file for a movie with no results. I stuck to the largest side can only be 600 x 400 but still no thumbnail. I actually wound up making 8 different versions and all of them have just a shot from the movie as a thumbnail. What am I doing wrong ?

MKVToolNix does not set custom thumbnails for MKV files that are recognized by media players. Most players generate thumbnails dynamically from the video itself. To embed a custom thumbnail:

Use MKVToolNix: Add a cover image under the "Attachments" tab (JPG or PNG, max 600x400).

Verify the Player: Some players ignore the embedded cover and generate thumbnails from the video. Test with VLC or MPV.

Use an External Tool: Tools like Tag Editor (Windows) or MKVTagEditor might allow you to set a visible cover.

Ensure your thumbnail image is in a supported format (like JPEG or PNG) and is properly embedded in the MKV file using MKVToolnix. Make sure to select the thumbnail option correctly and save the changes. If issues persist, try using a different video player to check the thumbnail.

You also could use something like Icaros to let Windows display a random frame as thumbnail. Still better than nothing.
