ghostquito 6 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The following would be great. 1) Set per library 2) Change time that thumbnails are grabbed. Maybe i want a thumbnail every 5m, not sure what it is now. 3) It would be nice to see the thumbnails utilized in other clients/webgui. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldonnis 148 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The following would be great. 1) Set per library 2) Change time that thumbnails are grabbed. Maybe i want a thumbnail every 5m, not sure what it is now. 3) It would be nice to see the thumbnails utilized in other clients/webgui. Allowing it per library rather than all-or-nothing would be lovely for me as well. I stopped even letting it generate BIFs because I keep a test library with tons of samples that I frequently replace/shuffle, most of which are under a minute. It's just not worth the effort or space for BIFs to be generated for those, so I use scripts that target specific library directories instead. As for timing, every example Roku gives uses the same timing and while the official biftool has a timestamp multiplier option, I've never actually tried deviating from the 10kms (10sec) value used in their examples. It would be an interesting experiment and I might try modifying my BIF generation scripts to see what happens. The BIF format seems pretty straightforward (format description is here), so implementing a reader and providing the frames when scrubbing in other clients could probably be done (or better yet, teach the clients to read BIFs on their own). I don't know of anything other than Roku that uses that file format currently, though, so it would probably be a bit of a project for the Emby team, especially if it's done on the client side.

ebr 14913 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Roku Plugin - Configure by library Pretty sure the other two suggestions have existing feature requests as well but they must be buried in something more general as I could not find them .

cybergrimes 90 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Per library setting would be great-- I don't really care if my soon to be deleted DVR recordings have Roku thumbnails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfgilliam 26 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 What about an option to convert media to a format the Roku can direct play, otherwise the thumbnails are not used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37070 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 What about an option to convert media to a format the Roku can direct play, otherwise the thumbnails are not used Actually the thumbnails are now used for all roku playback. At least for newer Roku devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
