Hi community, hi Eugene!

I have a few questions more!

1. Some of my DVD's i have ripped in folder structure to my HD (Video_TS Folder)! My Western Digital live now shows all the folders with Program chains and cells - its a little bit confusing!

Could you please give me a hint, how i have to handle the DVD rips in WMS?

2. In all of my media folders (Music and Video), there is a "folder.jpg" for coverart! Ist it possible, that WMS scans for this "folder.jpg and set it as folder thumbnail?

3. Which Software client is recommendet? I have tried to setup VLC, but it doesn't work!

Best regards

Helios

Devices do not support working with the DVD via DLNA, available only in this form.

In future versions

VLC good client, access through the Internet Exlorer (Web-mode), Internet Exlorer load playlist (asx, pls) and starts VLC. You can also use XBMC.

I am glad to here this will be possible in future versions - this would be a great help as it is pretty tedious to apply the image to each thumbnail. Looking forward to this feature..

Temporary solution (thumbnail connected until reload the base media resources)

Settings-Processing-Add
Name: Attach Folder.jpg
Click "Button on the main form"
Expression:

Code: Select all

const
  mfVideoWatchFoldersItemID = 'B7A1EE6A-CE07-4E09-B5ED-E51D22BBE743';  
  mfAudioWatchFoldersItemID = '1D45C463-2837-4FC7-ADD1-C21A1BD68C94';  
  mfImageWatchFoldersItemID = '4588975D-B5E2-46DA-A859-07313C715BB1';

procedure ProcessItem(aItem: TWmsScriptMediaItem);
var
  i: Integer;
  sFileName, sFilePath: string; 
begin
  if (aItem <> nil) and aItem.HasChildItems then begin
    if VarToStr(aItem.Properties[mpiThumbnail]) = '' then begin
      sFilePath := aItem.Properties[mpiFilePath];
      if (Pos(':\', sFilePath) > 0) or (Pos('\\', sFilePath) > 0) then begin    
        sFileName := IncludeTrailingBackslash(sFilePath) + 'folder.jpg';
        if FileExists(sFileName) then                 
          aItem.Properties[mpiThumbnail] := sFileName
      end      
    end;
    for i := 0 to aItem.ChildCount - 1 do      
      ProcessItem(aItem.Childitems[i])      
  end
end;

begin
  ProcessItem(WmsFindMediaFolder(mfVideoWatchFoldersItemID));
  ProcessItem(WmsFindMediaFolder(mfAudioWatchFoldersItemID));
  ProcessItem(WmsFindMediaFolder(mfImageWatchFoldersItemID));  
  ProcessMediaResult := True
end.

Thanks for this - will definitely give this a try - a bit nervous about applying it as I have spent a lot of time applying the images to each file and don't want to have to redo it if it doesn't work. I will let you know how it turns out. Do you know if it will overwrite what I have already done?

Another question - I use this with a WDTV live - when I go into the menu I get folder selections for video, music, photos, service, then a folder that has a foreign name - mon komn... that I can navigate my folders in. I was wondering if it was possible to apply thumbnail images to these folders?

Thanks again for your program - I have turned on many others to it so far and they love it...

Verifies that the thumbnail is not attached. The made this script changes are not saved in the database and therefore it is a temporary solution.

If you did not make changes in the localization program, you can copy a file from default.wln
?:\Program Files\Wild Media Server\DISTR\Languages to ?:\Program Files\Wild Media Server\Languages\

Temporary solution

, but attachment thumbnails remain. You must change the path to the files.

Code: Select all

const
  mfVideoItemsFolderID = '4B011F97-1151-45B1-A954-76BDFCAE746A';  
  mfAudioItemsFolderID = '0972345A-4255-4ECA-98A1-F326465BA727';
  mfImageItemsFolderID = '8ED989F8-10E9-4B9A-8EAE-E8150BE7A302';    
  mfFileSystemItemsFolderID = 'C64D9FE3-12C6-4283-8C3D-5201908372EB';

procedure ProcessItem2(aItem: TWmsScriptMediaItem; const aFileName: string);
begin
  if (aItem <> nil) and (VarToStr(aItem.Properties[mpiThumbnail]) = '') and
     FileExists(aFileName) then 
    aItem.Properties[mpiThumbnail] := aFileName
end;

begin
  ProcessItem2(WmsFindMediaFolder(mfVideoItemsFolderID), 'C:\Video.jpg');
  ProcessItem2(WmsFindMediaFolder(mfAudioItemsFolderID), 'C:\Audio.jpg');
  ProcessItem2(WmsFindMediaFolder(mfImageItemsFolderID), 'C:\Image.jpg');
  ProcessItem2(WmsFindMediaFolder(mfFileSystemItemsFolderID), 'C:\MyComputer.jpg');  
  WmsDatabaseAutoSave;
  ProcessMediaResult := True
end.
