If you look in this file you will see it checks for an inbound mimetype and if it matches uses ffmpeg to produce a jpeg thumbnail. You just need a similar context to handle application/json (that one might actually exist) and any other mimetypes you are interested in.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>There is also the Media Viewers add-on which was for older releases but it will show how to configure web previews by mimetype.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Good luck</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Bob Johnson</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 26 Jul 2013 08:51:19 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/preview-mimetypes-as-plain-text/m-p/302897#M256027 rjohnson 2013-07-26T08:51:19Z
