Simple Movie wall

Is this step mandatory to switch between jukeboxes? Or can I do a mass copy/rename to get moviename_sheet.jpgs (will SRJG read a .png renamed) and moviename.jpgs from folder.jpgs? And/or can Thumbgen output both namesets at one pass. My problem, but it took days to complete the first Thumbgen and I'd like to try/use both Jukeboxes going foward. I think I understand SRJG can't handle multiple jukeboxes and I'd like to not surf through my wife's junk and vice versa.

a mass copy/rename should work too, but I couldn't find an easy way to do it without scripting.
The new profile can be used for the original jukebox creation too, but the jukebox builder parameters needs to be modified to match the new output.

I found a free batch conversion/renamer from png to jpg, "irfanview" (not selling it, just sharing) that seems to convert well. Then bulk rename tool to take the folder name (ie. moviename) and append it to the front of the name "_sheet.jpg". It also batch processes folder.jpg to moviename.jpg and keeps both. I trust this is as good as reusing thumbgen. Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing the info

Once I tested on small nested dirs to figure out the 2 windows based tools, it took less than 10 minutes (on a slow pc) to batch convert/rename ~900 movie folders to do both jukeboxes.

Note: I batch processed 0folder.jpg instead of folder.jpg to avoid duplicating the empty nested folder.jpgs... Assuming anyone else wants the ability to run both jukeboxes.

I guess you did figure it out .. but here it is for others ..
If you are getting black frames on the scrapped thumbgen sheets and you are doing autscrapping .. check the thumgen moviesheet properties and make sure the first two boxes are "unchecked".

I would love to know where to put the various files for the thumbgen app to pick them up. I was able figure out that the AIOS_SRJG_JB.tgp file goes in the Profiles directory where ThumbGen is located, but I'm unable to find the documentation on where the rest of these go.

Can someone please tell me where I need to put the Lstar337 Split-Sheet files?

vvvvvv

Setup:
- Download a custom split sheet (attached) and add it to the thumbgen templates folder.

Is "0folder.jpg" not needed in R20 or R21?

is there a way to auto-fill those frames in thumbgen? just wondering cuz 400plus movies is takin a while...lol

Geez, You have some real dedicated people here! I have 127 Home Video DVD's I created from VHS and 8mm. I ripped the DVD's to .iso's and they are mountable via the NAS iso media NAS (Thecus N4200EVO x 2). THe second N4200EVO contains
my Ripped Concert DVD connection. All 430 concerts and growing, ripped to .iso via Mac based DVDRIP. Creating all those .iso files was a lot of work and took a lot of time. Concerts are indeed all in a /Media/video/Concerts directory, home dvds are in /media/video/homedvd/.

I have to move each one in to it's own directory?? I mean, it is not a big problem since I can just write a script to do that, but that is indeed going to reduce speed by adding 400 directories in the main mount directory! I also note that if I obtain a few new concerts, I need to re-run the thumbgen script all over again!

I don't mean to complain, but I don't ever see this media player being a "holistic ready for prime time average customer" device! Lets face it... the bulk of the population out there, young and old have difficulty running a windows script unless it is completely automated for them. This copy and paste code, execute, ... what a mess. Does Pivos really think the AIOS is an 'Average consumer level professional media player?

I wanted to send a AIOS unit off with all of the family videos to my sister so she can enjoy all the movies of the entended family. But if I do, I think I will be in deep support mode for the rest of my life! It took me 30 minutes to get them to open a browser to get to their cable modem. That is "Joe Average"...
