Primary image for folder of folders / favorites / AVI transcoding

[foobar 0]

Hi all,

 

I am experiencing three issues:

 

1) I added a "Photos" resource and selected a directory that contains folders with pictures in it. However, there are also some folders that contain further folders of images. For those top level folders no primary image is created. I would have expected that at least one picture of the subfolders is taken as primary image for the top level folder, or - just like for the complete "Photos" resource - the primary image will be generated as a group of let's say 4 pictures that represent the included folders.

I suppose this is not a bug, but at least it would be a nice enhancement.

 

2) I marked a few images, folders or videos as favorite, but they don't show up under the top level menu "Favorites". The page is just empty. Is there something I could have done wrong? The heart icon for all those resources is shown red, so I suppose they are marked correctly.

 

3) My library also contains some AVI videos. When I try to play / transcode them, I get the following within the log file:

The transcoding log contains the following:

I suppose ffmpeg isn't able to detect the video/audio stream correctly...but don't know.

 

Any help appreciated!

#1 yes that's a good idea and something we should add. For #2 we really just haven't done anything with photo favorites yet.

 

For #3 can you provide a sample file? That's a very new ffmpeg version so I'm inclined to say possible ffmpeg bug. It tells us the video is at stream 0 then it fails when we try to access it. I'd like to test locally though. thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

For 3) I also tried to play/transcode the video with the ffmpeg version provided in your repository. Same result. I will send you the sample files via pm.

 

Cheers,

ok, i was able to get past the error but then ffmpeg fails to encode it and doesn't produce any error message. as of now i'm not sure if it's just an ffmpeg bug or an issue with our command line
