TV Thumbnailer - Custom Rec TV Thumbs / Better h264 support (1 Viewer)

[kiwijunglist]

if that's bc you don't have recording thumbs then using my plugin would help.

Why the inbuild don't work correctly ? Sometimes i have, the next time i don't have a picture ?

Hm then i will try your tool

 

[kiwijunglist]

explanation of why in first post.

@D3ltoroxp - also replace setup.cmd with this version - https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/setup-cmd-zip.114038/

 

[D3ltoroxp]

Is this a newer version ?

 

[D3ltoroxp]

OK, no i installed it. When i will run it automaticly, i need to setup this in the comskip plugin on tv server... Comes there any problems when i don't will use comskip and have no comskip.exe ? Or is this only to start your script. Also i can make a windows task that your tool runs every day at 20 pm ??

 

[kiwijunglist]

comskip tvserver plugin runs the script automatically but you don't need to have comskip. There is no need to run a scheduled task unless you have multiple clients. All of this is explained in the wiki page under the FAQ section

[D3ltoroxp]

Yes that i have read, but don't now how mp wokrs when no comskip.exe is there but i use the plugin. OK than i can set this. When i see the 4 screens or the cover ? Automaticly or can i set this somewhere what he should show me ?

Hm is there something wrong ? I have no custom Screens... Hm where are my logs. I post them when i found them on my NAS...

File naming convention

TV Thumbnailer expects tv server recordings to use the following (default) format
Movies (manual or single type recordings)
%title% - %channel% - %date%
eg. D:\TV Recordings\Fight Club - TV2 - 2012-10-26 - S38536.ts
Series
%channel%\%title%\%title% - %date%
eg. D:\TV RECORDINGS\TV3\3 News\3 News - 2012-10-25 - S38532.ts
If you have manually moved your recordings around or renamed them, thumbnailer may have trouble guessing the show name and channel name from the file.



... and from the tvserver configuration wiki ...


Custom paths and filenames


Use this tab to set the file name format the TV-Server should use for recordings. There are two types of recordings (single and schedule) and they can have different file name formatting.
Recording

Select the recording type to configure:

• Movies (manual or single type recordings)
• Series

Format

Select one of the pre-defined file name formats or choose [User custom value] to create one of your own. You can use tags to replace part of the file name with information about the recording. Check the Sample textbox to see the result of your custom format for a fictional recording.

 

[D3ltoroxp]

When i need this format, than i can't use your tool because my format looks like this...

Movie

eg. D:\TV Recordings\Fight Club\Fight Club.ts

and Series

eg. D:\TV Recordings\Fringe\Fringe - S01E01.ts

I need that to autmaticly add this to mp tv series and moving pictures...

You are a god! Thanks for doing this - has bugged me since I started using MP that h.264 does not work - Thanks!
I am not sure if just me or my installation but the comskip plugin has never been used by me and when I set up the parameters were.. "{0}" ..with the " in the box. Should have been {0} I missed this and the TV thumbnailer did not work. I only saw that later, is this just me or should the change be highlighted or the TV thumbnailer changed to accept my "error"? It was very easily missed...
