    The info.json needs to be pointing to the pic you are using as a thumbnail.....exactly.

    on your "info.json" file , you have to write the name of your thumbnail file (previews:....) :
    f05f1a513de5b59efbf297bbf309b109.png

    also , be aware to resize your thumbnail file to the standard 400x192 format :)

    Stupid question but what happens if it isn't that size? I am using one now that is 1895x1008 (CTRL+P screen).
    Seems to work fine. Is 400x192 the 'favored' format size and not a requirement?

    Takes longer to load.
    Keep them small to make it faster to load for the UI.
