So I've now had the Pogo software working on two plugs. My problem was that I assumed that since I had previously registered the plug, that I didn't need to register it again ( wrong). You have to go through the full activation process and push the register button on the last page.
I had some different behaviour between the two plugs. One plug is a V3 pogoplug pro running RC.d. On it, anything I did to try and get it to make thumbnails failed. When I told it to refresh media through the web ui nothing happened.
The other plug is a pink V2, running systemd. On this one, on initial bootup it tried to create thumbnails, ( it failed, but the processing media warning came up and the list of media waiting for processing was populated) after a while it seemed to time out. I created the ffmpeg file above, but it didn't appear to do anything since my media is entirely avi and jpg files.
How to I determine what should be added to make thumbs from .avi and jpg files?
( fyi, I reverted the V3 plug and it created thumbs for all the media I had, and those thumbs were recognized by the V2) ( I moved the drive over)
