WDTV Live ( More Options )

[RMerlin]

I Think what hes saying is. If you go to Video under the WDTVLive.. it will show all network files in the video section. including mp3's and jpg's etc

I think he wants the server to have the ability to filter out photos under the video section and so on.

No, what I meant is that when you are in the Video section (on the main crossbar menu) and you enter "that other DLNA server", rather than asking you once again to chose between Audio/Video/Photos, it immediately show you the appropriate playlists (in this case, all video playlists). Basically, it simply means you have one less click to do to actually access the Video folder.

Same thing when you start with from "Audio" in the crossbar - immediately after you enter "that other DLNA server", you are shown all audio-related playlists.

Ah was hoping 2.1.9.0 would add pictures to playlist. Nice fixes for WDTV tho. That media library to big bug was bugging me.

I hope these get added next.. Really like this software.

Hi Dion,

We'll continue to improve Mezzmo and how it works with devices, so your wish list is still on our "todo" list

[Dion]

New: Support for "[filename].png", "[filename].jpg", "folder.png" and "folder.jpg" for cover art/thumbnails for music and video files.

Good to see this added. But how do you make it work?

[Paul]

1. [filename].jpg / [filename].png

If you have a video file like:

Inception.mkv

Then you just need to have an image (JPEG or PNG) in the same folder with the same name, like this:

Inception.jpg

If you add this video to your Mezzmo library, then the JPG will be used as the artwork for the video. This lets you have nice DVD artwork for your videos or CD album artwork for your music. If the video/music is already in your library, then use 'Maintain Library' to update all the properties of the media files and Mezzmo will grab the JPG as the artwork.

The above applies to both video and music files.

2. folder.jpg / folder.png

If you have a file called 'folder.jpg' or 'folder.png' in a folder on your harddisk that also has audio or video files, then this image file will be used for the artwork for the files in that folder by Mezzmo. It is a really easy way to put artwork for an entire album of music. The artwork will be grabbed by Mezzmo when you add the folder of music/video files or when you use 'Maintain Library' to update all aspects of your media. For example, a folder of music may look like:

LadyGaga-Track1.mp3

LadyGaga-Track2.mp3

LadyGaga-Track3.mp3

LadyGaga-Track4.mp3

folder.jpg

The above applies to both video and music files.

3. [filename].xml / mymovies.xml

If you are not familiar with 'mymovies.xml', I suggest you search the web for a detailed explanation. Briefly, it is an XML fie that contains title, genre, actors, directors, cover art, etc. for a movie or TV show. If you have one with the same name as your video file, then Mezzmo will read it and put all this nice information into your Mezzmo library. It really can help organize your movies. For example, a matching video and XML file would look like:

Inception.mkv

Inception.xml

The above applies to video files only.

Wow great explanation. Worked Perfectly.

Just bumping to let you guys know a new Firmware came out for WDTV Live

http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/update...y=wdfwdtv_live

ISO support with Menu's is in. ISO for Mezzmo might be a plus

All info can be found there. Cheers.

[Dennis]

Thanks - we'll check it out!

ISO support would be great - I have my Maiden and Megadeth dvds ripped to ISO so that I can play them across network, and since I've started using Mezzmo obviously it's not supported (as yet!).
