Replacement MTN (Thumbnailer) for H264 content (5 Viewers)

[azzuro]

Hi Jay, no prob for me border work perfect, is better !

can you look for the tiles width are summed for make final width, because actually tiles are resized to adapt to original format vidéo. this is an issue with multi-column.

what is next version ?

Hi there,

After giving myself servere headaches with the maths to handle the tiling, I have taken a step back and drastically simplified how I work out dimensions.

V73 is on the first page - No major changes, just simplified maths/logic for tiling.

J.[DOUBLEPOST=1353433672][/DOUBLEPOST]Hi there,

I am getting to the end of the road with the MTN.EXE development (It's be fun and challenging....)

The only thing I might implement is adjustable blank frame detection (I need to double check that the basic functionality is working correctly anyway)

Then that's it..... Time to merge/insert it into MePo (I'll apologise now to the Devs, as I'll have loads of questions if I decide to tweak the Config tool to expose some configurable options)

V73, ok nothing change !
for me, only width dimension for multi column, after all is OK.

Thx for your work.

Hi there,

What is the issue with the width?

The overrall thumbnail width is either specified with "-w" or matches the source video width (or if that fails, defaults to 1270)

Looking at the last processed movie:

Video width = 1920
Thumbnail width is not specified - so set to same as the Video width = 1920
External border = 3
Internal border = 8

Tile Width = (Video Width - Left External Border - Right External Border - (Internal Border * (Columns -1)))/Columns

Therefore:

Tile width: (1920 - 3 - 3 - (8 * (3-1)))/3 = 632 (rounded to 633)

Cheers,

J.

Hi guys,

V74 on the first post, V73 had an error with the reporting of the Thumbnail size in the log file (Apologises for not picking this up sooner).

There is also a new option in V74 (hopefully its what Azzuro is after), where you can specify -1 as the thumbnail width. This will now make the thumbnail width to be the total width of all the source videos with borders (so could be a huge thumbnail - not really of use in MePo)

no issue for HDmovie, but for SD when is small definitions. in shared thumb, tiles are very small

your formule is "perfect" only when width is specified ! for me when i speak aspect ratio = tiles maintain have aspect ratio, but when many tiles (column) must be summed to one file, without be resized.

maybe this is impossible.[DOUBLEPOST=1353451319][/DOUBLEPOST]

As Fanart maker !!!!

Jay, what is REG for last option ?
is "ThumbnailWidth"

 

[azzuro]

Yeah, working for SD, but you are right about HD def. is too bigger ! can you add a function limit to set MAX WIDTH ?
And for me ALL IS FINE !
Script Work !

Hi there.

Can you try this version (make sure you extract the CMD file too).

I think the issue is/was with how C# parsed the commandline when it had spaces and wasn't quoted

Thanks,

J.
