Video thumbnails script

[MonsterM]

While waiting for a video thumbnail/preview plugin you can use this Jscript to create thumbnails for your movies.
You need Avisynth

Open notepad, paste the code and save as ThumbnailCreator.js
Edit the settings and doubleclick it

EDITorry code format is wrong, please download the zip file (next post)
(Or break the lines js style...)

/*########## Dirty ThumbnailCreator Script by MonsterMagnet ################################################
############################################################################################################

### Best viewed >= 1024x768

### Requires Avisynth 2.5 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/)(tested with 2.56 and 2.57)
### and mplayer2 (included in WinXP C:\Programme\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe).

### This script creates thumbnail and preview images from your movies, for use with Mediaportal.
### Only missing thumbs or previews are created.(so you can run this script every time you add new movies !)
### 100 movie thumbs and 100 previews are created in 3:10 min (Athlon64 3500).

### TIP 1: Try this script with a test movie directory.
### TIP 2: You can use this script inside Mediaportal with the MyPrograms plugin.
### TIP 3: In directory: C:\Programme\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Skin\BlueTwo\myvideo.xml change 
###        <import>common.facade.video.xml</import> to <import>common.facade.pictures.xml</import> 
### TIP 4: Eventghost.org (open-source automation tool for MS Windows, supports infrared or wireless remotes)

Hi,

Thank you for a perfect script :-)

....do you know what kind of files it supports?
....do you know how to get it to support .m2t files?

Best regards,
Jesper

Hello,

i don't have movies in m2t format, so i can't test it but you can give it a try, just change

if (ext == "avi" || ext == "mpg" || ext == "wmv" || ext == "rmvb" || ext == "mov")

to

if (ext == "avi" || ext == "mpg" || ext == "wmv" || ext == "rmvb" || ext == "mov" || ext ==  "m2t")

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but it does not create thumbs of the m2t files :-(

[Ynot]

is it possible to make it recurse subdirectories?
