Folder thumbnails from .tbn files - pricinosus - 2012-10-17
Hello
I have this structure:
folder_name/video_name/video_name.mpg
folder_name/video_name.tbn
XBMC doesn't display video_name.tbn for folder "video_name"
but If I have this structure:
folder_name/video_name/video_name.mpg
folder_name/video_name/folder.jpg
XBMC will display folder.jpg for folder "video_name"
I'm under Eden Live installed on hdd and updated to nightly 2:11.9.7~git201210152028~937ace2-1~ppa1~oneiric.
I have to mention, if I switch back to stable, it will work with both, folder.jpg and video_name.tbn. I have cleaned database (all including Texture#.db), cahed thumbnails etc.
Is this a transitory issue, or this is the future way to go in Frodo? If second is the truth then is a lot a work to do... or I will think a script to convert this automatically...
Here are some threads that advised not to use .tbn anymore, is this the new politics?
Anybody some Ideas?
RESPECT

sorry for bumping..
I want to rephrase..
I have read the wiki but I'm still confuse.
Is somewhere, on this forum, a thread opened by developers, where new features for thumbnails management are added and improved in unstable releases
I would like to read it!
How to assign a thumbnail to a folder?
Given data:
"OurFolder" = The folder I want to assign a thumbnail.
"ParentDirectory" = just a folder
"folder.jpg" = an image
"OurFolder.tbn" = an old style (I think
) image (could it be anything .jpg, .png etc renamed to .tbn)In older releases of Xbmc, were at least two ways to assign a thumbnail to a folder.
1.Putting a "folder.jpg" image inside folder "OurFolder".
2. "OurFolder" and "OurFolder.tbn" placed inside same directory "ParentDirectory".
The second not working anymore in latest nightly builds of Xbmc. It is a temporary fact or it will be permanent
I have all my thumbs in "*.tbn". For me is better that way than "folder.jpg".

OurFolder.tbn no longer works. This is permanent.

Yep! I'm on Frodo 12.2 and following doesn't work, which used to work well in Dharma (10.0)!
FolderName\
FolderName.tbn
Following works:
FolderName\
FolderName\folder.jpg
FileName.avi
FileName.tbn
Will have to script to change everything

Yeah, it's a pain! And this seems to be the way moving forward including Frodo! You may use following batch file!
@echo off
for /f "usebackq delims=|" %%d in (`dir /b /s /ad`) do (
if exist "%%d.tbn" (
copy "%%d.tbn" "%%d\folder.jpg"
)
)
I could have done that in Unix too
