[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 927834, member: 76888"] So I played around with adding channel logos and text onto the thumbnails, but in the GUI it looks bad, so I think it is kind of pointless. Jay_UK has made an mtn.exe replacement that uses ffmpeg and the montage command from imagemagick to create a thumbnail, it get's behind mtn's problem of not being able to handle some h264 recordings. It's kind of a hack because it just mimics the input arguments that were given by MP to the original mtn.exe and creates the thumbnail that way. [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tv-thumbnailer-custom-rec-tv-thumbs-better-h264-support.113415/page-3#post-927456[/url] also it currently doesn't have any smart logic like the original mtn had. eg. discarding blurry / dark frames. also it grabs screen shots at a set time frame of 720+20seconds per additional screenshot requested in mp config, so can fail on shorter recordings (i think mtn used percentage base markers to decide where to stop). With regards to using the recording's show name (+/- episode details) to look for online images, that is miles beyond what I can do, so I guess this is as far as the solution gets for now. [/QUOTE]
