XBMC thumbnail integration

[cunninglinguist]

Hello,

Love the product! One of the few DLNA server apps I have found that actually works with my Samsung TV + Bluray player.

I have a feature request: support for XBMC video thumbnails, which use the .tbn file extension.

As it is, videos can manually be assigned a .tbn thumbnail by viewing the file properties, selecting "Change Artwork" -> "Add Picture" and then typing "*.tbn" + enter for the filename to display all of the .tbn files in a directory, selecting one and hitting okay. This will assign the thumbnail to the video and it displays correctly in the app as well as on the TV DLNA client.

As such, I would imagine it would be a small change to allow .tbn in the list of thumbnail filetypes, as well as allowing them for automatic thumbnail detection, as the XBMC naming scheme is <video file>.tbn for <video file>.<avi/mkv>.

Additional details on the XBMC format is here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Thumbnails


Cheers!

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion - we'll look into adding those thumbnails into Mezzmo in one of the next updates.

Hello,

Thanks for considering this feature.

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I have noticed a bug which relating to assigning thumbnails to videos. If you open the properties of a video file and add a picture, if you use press OK the picture is saved but if you use the next or previous file navigation (< and > buttons), a prompt is given saying that the item has been modified and asking if it should be saved, but selecting Yes does not update the picture.


Cheers!

You should also add Thumbnails to playlist. Hint Hint Hint
