What is Trickplay?

[sjorge]

It generates a series of tiny preview images for all your media.

These can be used by clients that support trickplay to show a preview while skipping forwards/backworss through the video file.

tnx for this info. But shouldn't this just default to the already existing chapter images?

[gnattu]

It captures more frames than chapter images so it need to be regenerated

Finally, a simple explination somewhere in all the junk on the internet.

Is there a reason this warning only appears on the Chapter Images section?
The process can be slow, resource intensive, and may require several gigabytes of space.

Is this not the case for Trickplay?
