    Question Question on getting movie artwork displayed on a Samsung TV set (ThumbGen file)

    I have a Samsung UE46C6705 TV and I'm currently running Mezzmo 2.4.3 server. The TV is using the Samsung C profile.

    Ever since I started using Mezzmo 9 months ago, I've been happy with features and functionality. As new features gets added, I'm eager to test them out. But, the new support for movie artwork from ThumbGen files I can't figure out how to get to work.

    In my video library I have several folders added with various video files. For test purpose I created a .tgmd file for only one of my video files to see how it works. This .tgmd file follows the naming convention that is described in “What's New in Mezzmo 2.4.3.0”, “filename.mkv.tgmd”.
    The file itself contains pictures and xml files,( [Content_Types].xml, BACKGROUND, COVER, FANART1, FANART2, FANART3,INFO, NFO, PREVIEW ). The contents seem ok when unzipped. After a maintenance of the library in Mezzmo, I still see no change what-so-ever when browsing to the folder containing the video file I've just added, there is no movie artwork.

    Is it my TV set that doesn't support movie artwork or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?


    As a side note, I was really happy to learn about the chaptering feature of my Samung set a while back. And while I appreciate your implementation of the feature in the latest version, I find it better to have .mta files for each video file (I do prefer having proper screenshots for icons instead of the same icon for all chapters). I have Samsungs own Allshare software (version 2.1.0.11072_11) (DLNA server software) installed on the same computer as Mezzmo to generate the .mta files.
    The Allshare software generates .mta files following the convention “filename.MKV.mta”, but in order for Mezzmo to make use of them I have to rename them to “filename.mta”. Is it possible to have Mezzmo pick up the mta file following Samsungs naming convention?

    With this fresh in mind, I also tried to rename the .tgmd file to just “filename.tgmd” to see it that did the trick, but no, still no movie artwork when browsed from my tv.

    I don't have any other clients to test on, so I hope you can help me out.
