I've found a workaround the slow loading of thumbnails.. especially over a network.
What I did was to create a blank "jpg" file... so opened up notepad and saved a blank file as "c:\temp\blank.jpg".
then created a batch file with the following code:
FOR /R "d:\videos\" %%F in (*.avi) do copy C:\temp\blank.jpg "%%~dpnF.jpg"
that created a blank jpg for each video. I then deleted the thumbs and ehthumbs files from all the directories to get rid of thumbnails once and for all and that's it. No more thumbnails. Browsing video's has gotten alot faster over the network.. there's no longer that pausing when browsing through vids. And you can see the filenames.. which is handy when things aren't in order.
