We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve
Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The
biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes
this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in
the latest version?
Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a
new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer
versions.

Title:
Feature Request: Use files in videos directory to generate thumbnails
Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
Expired
Bug description:
A large part of my video collection is home made stuff so it doesn't
have cover art, IMDB entries etc. etc. All such videos therefore
display in the mythtv video screens with an associated image of a
large "?" which I'm sorry to say looks pretty crap. i.e. it
definitely *does not* pass the girlfriend test :)
I would therefore like to have the facility where I could put an image
file in the same directory as the video file, named exactly as the
video file but with an image extension (".jpg" or ".png" etc.) and
have myth pick up this image.
e.g. If the video is called "Home Made Video 01.mpg" then if I also
place a file called ""Home Made Video 01.png" in the same directory
the front end will pick up this image and use it as a thumbnail
(overriding any image set in the database)
Maybe this could be combined with a script, which could be run
periodically or incorporated into the "scan for changes" menu item,
which will scan the video directories for such files and update the
database ?
This simply feature would massively improve mythtv for me as although
I have investigated various scripts to update the database etc. it
would be much simpler, easier and user friendly to be able to simply
place appropriately named files.
As an extension to this idea maybe the video summary could also be
palced in a ".txt" or ".info" file ?
e.g. from my example above "Home Made Video 01.info" could be used to
place a short text summary ?
Cheers.
