more research...

DL

With Windows I use synctoy to sync to a SMB share. Then setup an event for that to run every hour. This way it loads the thumbnails locally which is faster.

@freaksworth

yes the substition works ... but the code that loads the thumbnails does support samba shares only in the atv2 branch

@Advocate

Wait after the merge from atv2 branch to trunk. After that maybe may patch for supporting samba shares when loading thumbnails will be available to the other plattforms aswell.

@transcender

show us the log via http://www.pastebin.com

Any timeframe for the merge?

Also any ideas why the thumbs don't load for the recently added script?


- dazex - 2011-03-01

Merge is happening already. The are doing the leg work on getting the ATV2 branch ready. Not sure when it will be finished and the push actually happen though. But give it some time. This is the reason you haven't seen many new nightly builds.

Are there any plans to store thumbnails/fanart etc in the MySQL database?

Code:
18:11:04 T:2989132656 M:1632235520   DEBUG: CFileSMB::Open - opened xbmcthumbs/Video/Fanart/67113bc2.dds, fd=10000
... well works on my linux setup too.

This isn't possible. Database's don't work that way and it would be inefficient to do so.


- Memphiz - 2011-03-01

It would be possible by using blobs (binary large objects) ... with this you can store binary data in databases ... but i don't think this will be the goal for xbmc here (IMHO).

@freaksworth ... ohh cool ... didn't saw that in the code ... seems to be handled somewhat at another place.

@Advocate
for the "recently added" feature don't load thumbs i would need a xbmc.log for investigation

Quick update to my Thumbnail quandary...

I created a new DB on MySQL and pointed my MacBook Pro at it. I'm importing the TV folder at the moment and thumbnails are showing up locally.

I made a quick change to one of the Apple TV's and pointed it the same way. Thumbnails also seemed to show up!!!!

But since I'm mapped to the share they would show up locally on the importing machine. Non mapped clients CANNOT load thumbnails.

So, waste of time really.

I thought databases were a tool to store data, whatever the type (ie text, images, sounds).

How stupid do I feel now? Huh

But it's related to how one manages the XBMC metadata using a MySQL Library support... taking it one step further... :confused2: Smile

do you want me to read you the topic name?

your post belongs in "future requests" or "development" thread

I apologize.... I am just excited about the centralized MySQL library.
