Generating thumbnail Ender 3 V2 getting errors

I have an Ender 3 V2 and switched over from Cura to PrusaSlicer. Everything is working good with the software with the exception of generating a thumbnail for the .gcode. I'm running a firmware that supports thumbnail previews and had it working beautifully in Cura. I'm following the guide using Python and a thumbnail script written for the firmware. I'm using MacOS and can't for the life of me figure this out. There is several people who have the exact same setup as me and they have zero issues. They've attempted to help me but with no luck. Can anyone who's more knowledgable than I am give me some ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

RE: Generating thumbnail Ender 3 V2 getting errors

Ok I figured it out and it was working just fine for a few prints. I added the SL1 to try out the tree support work around. As soon as I did this it completely broke the ability to generate a thumbnail. I uninstalled PrusaSlicer and reinstalled it without adding back in the SL1 and it is still broken. I've removed the scripts and reinstalled them and nothing. I've even tried new folder locations and still nothing. What's weird is the printer reads the files... shows me the thumbnail but as soon as I select print it hangs for a second and then you see the progress bar scroll across the screen like when it first boots up. So whatever happened, it's literally crashing my printer with the thumbnail script added. If I remove them then the printer sees the .gcodes just fine and prints without issue. I don't understand what's going on to cause this. Any ideas?
