Howto: Movie covers as video thumbnails (hack) (it works for books too)

[draki]

The dialog pops up before the thumbnail is being made, but I'm sure the path is correct - this is the contents of my config file

films_path[1]=/mnt/Media/Films
films_path[2]=/home/max/Desktop
films_path[3]=

I added a film to the Desktop and tried -r -u on that, but still no joy

Make sure any of your paths is a symbolic link.
Try this:

touch "/home/max/Desktop/1999.Matrix.avi"

[draki]

That works immediately. And I'm sure there aren't any symlinks

This morning some of the thumbs have updated correctly

I think I'll leave it and see if the rest update

Hi,

Nothing is happening.

I have:
gedit ~/.imdb-thumbnailer/config

films_path[0]=/mnt/hdd_2/Movies

blade@pangolin:/mnt/hdd_2/Movies$ gedit ~/.imdb-thumbnailer/config
blade@pangolin:/mnt/hdd_2/Movies$ imdb-thumbnailer --update 10000\ BC\ \[2008\].mp4 
blade@pangolin:/mnt/hdd_2/Movies$

no error but Nautilus looks the same. Deleted all thumbnails. What should I check?

thanks,

[Yuzem]

Hi,
Try this:

imdb-thumbnailer --set-nautilus

Then restart nautilus:

nautilus -q

And finally the --update command again.

It doesn't work for me. Bad Luck

It doesn't work for me. Bad Luck

Have you tried:

imdb-thumbnailer --set-nautilus

...and updating the thumbnails:

imdb-thumbnailer -u /path/2/videos/*.*
