    OK. Good news and bad news.

    First the good, I can replicate my .mta file and add whatever image for the thumbnails and add this to any video in the collection, but the bad news is that it does not apply automatically, it wont work after a service restart. It only gets applied after a Maintenance, which take 20mins on my system even though i choose update only missing info.

    Maybe Dennis can look at applying a change to the next release which auto updates .mta files as they are added with a restart.
    cheers

    No problem, find attached a copy of a basic mta file. You'll see it is just a simple xml file, and i've added 8 chapter points. Each tag has 1 time element (the MediaTime tag) which is in seconds, i have setup blocks of 900, so this gives 15min chapter points.
    There is also a thumbnail element (the InlineMedia tag) which is a base64 jpg file. All my test thumbs are black but you can anything you like.
    Once we sort out the auto update of the Mezzmo server so that mta files are added without the need for a Maintenance, i'll post a thread purely about MTAs and maybe Dennis will sticky it.

    Any problems just shout.

    cheers

    Hi Gusnor!

    This looks very promising! What do you need to do in order to modify your template .mta file in order to get it work with a movie on my Mezzmo installation?

    Hi gusnor,

    Your MTA file worked perfectly with my mpeg2 videos on Samsung C-series and Mezzmo 2.3.2. All I had to do is copy your mta-file to the sme directoy and rename it to the same name as the video clip. Amazing: Months of frustration with the stupid Samsung C-series device suddenly overcome.

    Now help me with this:
    I tried to edit your mta file to provide 5 mins intervals instead of 15 mins but whenever I edited it the editor saves it as filetype xml irrespective of the file name being *.mta and Mezzmo doesn't recognize it anymore.

    Suggestion to the Conceiva folks: Provide an option to auto-generate mta files with 5 or 10 mins intervals for Samsung streaming devices. This would perfectly bridge the missing FF and FR problem.

    Best

    Hi BeFi,

    Did you need to do anything in order to get the chaptering to work other than drop the .mta file into the same directory as the movie, rename it to the same as the movie file (with .mta on the end) and run maintenance on Mezzmo's library?

    I have done exactly as written above and the chaptering does not work at all on my Samsung LE40C580 TV

    Hi BeFi,

    i take it you can chapter if playing a file locally from USB etc?

    if so all you need to do is drop the mta file alongside your video file, rename it so it's the same filename but the extension is MTA. Lastly do a maintenance on Mezzmo.
    and thats all.

    I will try to post a proper guide tomorrow.
    cheers

    We've moved the subtitles and chaptering to be updated only on maintenance because it was causing slow-downs when browsing folders (since these files needed to be accessed in real-time and this could cause timeouts if the files are on a NAS, for example).

    Perhaps you don't need to do a full library maintenance - if you have lots of music/photos, then you can save time by only maintaining the "All Videos" playlist or something even smaller?

    Thanks for the file, BTW!

    I've created a proper guide for the MTA files which gives a bit more detail...

    Not sure if its any help to others but I decided to write a little app for creating and deleting multiple MTA files for your video libraries. You just need to select the template file (an existing mta file that you want to use like the one of rSmasung C series TVs in this thread) and then select the root folder that you want to create MTA files within. If you want to go through sub folders as well obviously check the include sub directories box. Its reasonably fast and you dont have to install anything. Heres the link. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=f835d...232F2923%21177
    Hope it helps someone.
