[RELEASE] Quick Thumbnail Generator Tool (for Linux, Mac, and Windows)

paul Wrote:Thanks for the update will try it and let you know.
When i rip movies i rip them to one huge .vob and just name it moviename.vob
I guess from what you said above it only reads them if there called vts_1 etc
Or will it know look at any file with the .vob extension

Before... it was probably ignoring the VOB extension. There was a problem with the filename extension parsing. In some cases it was missing the extension altogether, in others, it was seeing extensions in the middle of file names. This was a peculiar problem if you had a folder/movie with the name "Movie" in it. Now, it should be strictly looking for extensions. The VTS_1 issue only impacts multipart VOBs (ex: say you ripped a DVD verbatim to the drive). I only tested it with a couple of rips. I suppose there might be situations where the authoring used a different structure, but hopefully it works for most cases.

Cheers.

Yes, I understand. My movies are in several paths as well. I think your idea is pretty solid. What I am thinking is to have a separate file with one path per line, and you can set this file as a config option. It'll then read and parse each path in the accessory file. Its not too hard to get this in place, so I'll try an update later tonight.

Thanks i will bear that in mind, i had wondered if it had something to do with the way it was ripped as i use good old dvddecryptor also i still cant get it to do the .mp4s i had a look in the the log and it says it allready has thumbs in there? weired or what

Amazing! Worked flawlessly and is super easy to configure.... Thanks so much for the "none" option for aspect padding. I'm stoked!

Hello

Can you add an extension " .ISO " ?

THANK YOU

I've tried testing this with a DVD ISO and it looks like FFMPEG cannot read these files as movies. Right now, I don't have much time to try and track down a solution for this. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

My only possible outlook might be to try and mount the ISO as a virtual file system, and then pull the thumbs from the VOBs and put them back into the original directory. This would be fairly easy in Linux, but might be a pain in Windows.

Not sure what is going wrong but i placed all the files in the root of my media folder,
all movies in there own folders each with moviename.avi moviename.nfo moveiname-fanart and movie.tbn
When i click on thumber. exe it runs but all it does is places empty folders in named extrathumbs here is the log.

Hi Paul,

Sorry for this, I have found a bug where the path names for Windows files (using the backslash) are somehow confusing Mediainfo. I have a update that I am finishing some testing on and hope to upload today. It includes a fix for this problem.

Thanks,
Fred
