Picture Extension Problem

[curtis-r]

I would like to be able to view some .avi & .mpg files through My Pictures.
Added the following to advancedsettings.xml:

<pictureextensions>
<add>.avi|.mpg</add>
</pictureextensions>

When I try to browse into a folder with .avi files, XBMC freezes. Need ctrl-alt-del to get out.

If I remove the .avi portion of the .xml command, just leaving the .mpg, I can browse the folder, see the .mpg's, but when I try to play them I just get a black screen.

Is this a bug or the nature of My Pictures?

XBMC latest SVN #18650

Surely it's because the picture viewer can't play videos (that's what the video section's for)?

Seems to be a problem with the thumbnailer. Please verify again with a clean install and file a new bugreport if the issue still exists.
