Thumbnailer - creates automaticly thumbnails from videos and tv recordings

What does tthis process plugin?

- creating "folder.jpg" if its needed and only one file are in the folder
- picture size from the thumbnails are adjustable
- own MTN parameter
- video time where the thumb is taken can be entered
- tv recording time where the thumb is taken can be entered
- creates a small and a big file for tv thumbs
- handles up to 4 video and 1 tv recording folder(s)
- needs minimum resources
- it just works

Attached are the plugin, just copy the thumbnailer.dll in the folder "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\process" and configure it in the plugin panel of your mp config.

Good idea. So good that someone already did this?

Yes i have seen this... but i need a solution that the thumbnails are created automaticly if a file is copied/changed/deleted etc... and there are no source code

i copy the code after a few testings to a process plugin so that the thumbs are created in the background of MP

have you tryed the test app, and works at your machine?

thx

Hi habe heute gerade mal den Code von TvPlugin angeschaut und den auskommentierten Code von der Thumb erzeugung gefunden (!)...

Werde dies mal mit den Änderungen kompilieren und mal testen ob dies funktioniert

Ähhh, wozu benötigst du einen "thumb-ordner"???
Die Bilder werden immer dort hin gelegt wo die Video Datei ist.

thx

I have found the code place where are the thumbs displayed in the tv recordings, its in the file TvRecorded.cs from TvPlugin on Line 791

it sould instead of this:

Code:

string strLogo = Utils.GetCoverArt(Thumbs.TVRecorded, Utils.SplitFilename(Path.ChangeExtension(aRecording.FileName, Utils.GetThumbExtension())));

be this:

Code:

string strLogo = Thumbs.TVRecorded + @"\" + Utils.SplitFilename(aRecording.FileName).Replace(".mpg", ".png").Replace(".ts", ".png");

...and shure the thumbs should be under the folder "..\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\tv\Recorded"


i can compile the plugin but the list is every time empty
the list ist also empty if i download the latest svn and do only compile it with vs2005 pro...(!?)

that do i'am wrong - or how to compile the tvplugin correctly?

thx
