Support for JPEG folder thumbnails

[tuliolazarini]

Hello, Eugene,

I recently migrate my movie collection from an old NAS to a bigger one. This made me very sad because I lost all my collection's thumbnails (collected from IMDb individually) when I did a folder rescan. Well, this might be avoided, in the future, if WMS could load thumbnails from images with the same name as movies (except file extension). For example, 'Salt.jpg' could be used as thumbnail for 'Salt.mkv' if they're on the same folder. The same logic applies to music folders, in which 'folder.jpg' could be used as thumbnail for entire album.

I tried to make some adjustments on a script you provided many time ago (this one) and didn't worked as expected. Are there plans to develop such functionality?

Thanks in advance, Tulio.

Hello,

Settings - "Media-resources" - "Photo-resources, Thumbnails" - "Movie covers directory"

WMS support folder.jpg for music folders.

Eugene, I'm afraid to say it's not working as expected...

Let me tell you about my home environment: all my media resources are located on a Synology NAS. I mapped the remote network share "\\ds411\video" as V:, and WMS sees it perfectly well. Movies are classified by genre, one folder for each. Here's the 'Suspense' folder (Thriller, in Portuguese). Note thal all movies has its associated JPEG cover image:

Code: Select all

V:\Suspense>dir /on
 O volume na unidade V é video
 O Número de Série do Volume é 02CA-04EC

So, I cleared thumbnail cache in C:\ProgramData\Wild Media Server\Thumbnails and enabled "Movie covers directory", setting it to V:\Suspense. I rescanned media folders, and nothing happened. Tried to put \\ds411\video\Suspense on "Moviel covers directory", rescanned again, and nothing yet. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Eugene, one question:
I tried to specify multiple directories (separated by semicolons, ";") for "Movie covers directory", as I did with subtitles, like "V:\Ação;V:\Suspense;V:\Drama;V:\Romance;V:\Documentários;V:\Comédia"... When I restarted application and tried to load file properties, thumbnais did'nt get properly loaded.
Is it necessary all movie covers be in an unique folder?
Thanks again.

Yes, support only one folder, but you can try another solution

Settings - Processing - Add

Name: Attach thumbnail
Script:

Code: Select all

var
  sItemPath: string;
begin
  if (CurrentMediaItem <> nil) and (CurrentMediaItem.MediaType = mtVideo) then begin  
    sItemPath := CurrentMediaItem.Properties[mpiFilePath];
    if ((Pos('\\', sItemPath) = 1) or (Pos(':\', sItemPath) = 2)) and FileExists(ChangeFileExt(sItemPath, '.jpg')) then
      CurrentMediaItem.Properties[mpiThumbnail] := ChangeFileExt(sItemPath, '.jpg')  
  end
end.

Ok - Ok

Events - "After reading of properties of a media resource" - "Attach thumbnail"

Ok

Select a file - right click - "Load file properties"

Absolutely amazing! Did the trick!
Thank you again!
