Personally, since you are using MCUtils now, I would use it to get the actor images for you.  You'll have a lot more flexibility and you'll be able to choose your filename.

I didn't look too much, but I had no luck getting Mediaelch getting actors images.

If you want to use the images you already obtained, Instead of using the replace() function I would just import all the images into MC and then use the Find & Replace functionality of the Rename, Move and Copy Files tool to change the underscore to a space.

Try

replace(listitem([Actors],0),/ ,_)

i.e. Escape the blank so that it is taken as a literal space, and not just a space in the expression. I haven't tested that, but it should work.

Nice! And yes, a little bit too many actors  ;)

So, you integrated the cover in the normal first line? To get more space for the actors?

I did choose an extreme example, I have it limited to 10 actors and 10 guest stars.  This episode just happens to have the max.  It more frequently looks like this.

It wasn't only to make more room for actors, it was more to free up space in general.  I wanted the episode still, the series logo and the season poster, I thought it would look cool having them the way that I set it up and I am pretty happy with the result, I like that bit a lot.  I just wish there was a way to align images so I could left align the episode still, center align the logo and right align the poster.  Right now I am spacing them out with literal spaces inserted and the results aren't always consistent.

Customize file info panel >> manage >> edit template >> no image

and instead draw episode image, series logo, season image with <img src> syntax. It's a very limited way because there isn't table possibility so you can't enter rows of text next to image for example

Are you asking how I achieve that top row?  I tweaked it a bit yesterday, I am now using a spacer png (it's just a 1x1 transparent png image) that I stretch to create space between the images.  The top row looks like this in my customize file info panel settings

Code: [Select]
[Episode Still]<img src="R:\Tooltip\spacer.png" size="300x1">[Logo TV]<img src="R:\Tooltip\spacer.png" size="480x1">[Episode Image 2]

Then, [Episode Still] has this value

Code: [Select]
<img src="[Filename (path)]removeright([filename (name)], 3)jpg" height="200" >
I have my episode still saved using the same name as the episode video file.  So, if my episode filename is "30.Rock.S01E02.The.Aftermath.avi" then my image still is "30.Rock.S01E02.The.Aftermath.jpg"

[Logo TV] has this value

Code: [Select]
regex([filename (path)], /#([MN]:.+)\\(.+)#/, -1)<img src="[R1]\logo.png"  height="200">
This one is a bit complex because my TV files can be on either my M or N drive, so I had to use a bit of regex.  I keep the logo image at the series level, so my file structure looks like this.

30 Rock
Logo.png
-----Season 1
-----Season 2

[Episode Image 2] has the following value

Code: [Select]
<img src="[filename (path)]\[Image File]" height="200" >
I store the season posters inside the season folders.

Oh, I forgot to add.  The built in "Get movie and TV info" tool can get a fair amount of image still.  MCUtils can get a bunch more as well.  But I was still left with a bunch of shows that didn't have any.  I wrote a few batch files (my first!) that automatically generate image stills.  If you want them, you can find them here.  You will need to have ffmpeg installed.

To use them, select the batch file that corresponds to the filetype you have, so if your videos are mkv files, use the batch file that has mkv in the name. Copy it into directory where your episodes are located.  Then just run the batch file and the images will be generated.  Your results may not be the best, it generates an image at the 7700 frame in the video, so it's a bit random.  But it was a much easier than creating a still manually.

That sounds like it does the same thing as the settings at;
Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails > Capture video thumbnails at X seconds

Which seems to work pretty well.

Yeah, that works if you want the thumbnail to be the default image for the file.   I want the season poster to be the default image.  I also need the image still thumbnail to be saved alongside the file that it corresponds with, I'm not sure if you can do that with the thumbnail builder in MC.

No, it uses any poster image if one is available. MC only generates a thumbnail from a video frame if there is no poster image.


I also need the image still thumbnail to be saved alongside the file that it corresponds with, I'm not sure if you can do that with the thumbnail builder in MC.

It doesn't do that by default, but the MC "Right-click > Cover Art > Save Cover Art To External Location Specified In Options" creates a jpg of the still next to the video file. An extra step, but no need to install ffmpeg separately, or copy batch files of the correct type into each directory containing the video files.


But if you wanted to do it your way I would suggest making one batch file that was file type agnostic, by testing if each file type exists maybe, and calling a subroutine for each type. Then set it up with the MC "Send To (external)" function.

Yes, the problem was all my videos already had a poster.  I would have had to remove it from thousands of episodes.

Are you sure about that?  I certainly can't get it to work.  Cover Art is different from Thumbnails.  If you can get it to work that would be great.  If you can, would you mind sharing a step by step process?

I would absolutely love that, but beyond my skill set.  I bumbled through making those batch files, they were literally the first batch files I have ever created.

Actually, thanks for the nudge.  I just figured out how to make the batch file universal.  Was much easier than I anticipated.  I updated my upload.

Excellent that you improved the batch file. Now using the "Send To (external)" should make it possible to avoid copying the batch file to each directory, and make your solution universal. The resulting image should be saved into the correct directory, although I haven't tested that.

Are you sure about that?  I certainly can't get it to work.  Cover Art is different from Thumbnails.  If you can get it to work that would be great.  If you can, would you mind sharing a step by step process?

Yes.

For any video file. I am talking about the single Cover Art image associated with each file. I'm not talking Series and Season Cover Art for TV Shows, which are stored in a different location to the video file Cover Art. MC creates a Cover Art image from the thumbnail image, which is based on the video frame image. Of course if there is an existing correctly named and therefore used Cover Art image file in the directory, MC won't generate a thumbnail from a video frame. In this respect your solution is better, in that it will overwrite any existing Cover Art file with a file created from a video frame.

Note that some Views need to be refreshed, or even reloaded, to see changes in thumbnails based on new Cover Art files.

It is a single step process, just select one or more files that only have a thumbnail image and not a Cover Art image, and issue the command I documented above: "Right-click > Cover Art > Save Cover Art To External Location Specified In Options".

It works for files that only have embedded Cover Art as well, although that does not apply to video files of course, since thumbnails aren't embedded for video files.

Yeah, I tried that and things went a bit crazy and I did not get the intended result.  I've never used that function before so I am sure I did something wrong.  I am not a programmer so this kind of stuff is a bit over my head.

That was the problem.  I used "remove cover art" and then it saved the thumbs.  Thank you! 

Your solution will work more seamlessly going forward, my batch file worked great for my existing library as it didn't care what already existed and wrote an image to the directory no matter what.

Thanks again!

TV shows should always get a screen grab in MC by default, since individual episodes do not have posters, typically.
Which means for shows you automatically have the season poster, and an episode screen grab. These screen grabs are also stored in parallel to the individual media files directly, which makes them really easy to point to automatically.

For movies, there is only the poster, since each movie has its own poster, naturally.

Current movie template. Still tinkering with cast images to see if I can get look right. I think it might bee too crowded for my taste. Added also country flags for audio and subtitles languages. The "image on top" problem shows also here. Would be nice if MC could extract track metadata like subtitle and audio languages when it analyzes video files. For ages I've been meaning to create MCUtils scriptor script to populate that information through mediainfo but haven't been able to get started...

I asked for similar functionality asking for the number of audio tracks contained in a video file.  I was told "They really didn't like the idea".  Thankfully pscriptor/MCUtils came to rescue and "pscriptor.pl getmediainfo -F "Number of Audio Streams" tells me how many audio tracks a movie has.  Mediainfo makes it all pretty easy.

I think this command will give you the audio language and the subtitle language

Code: [Select]
pscriptor.pl getmediainfo -F _a,_b --params "Audio.Language,Text.Language" -VV  --testonly
_a and _b are just scratch MC fields I use for testing.

Hello Custom wizards ;o)

I would like to sort all my movies in "Theater view" based on their IMDB rating.
I know how to do that using the Library Field IMDB Rating and that works ok with the exception that movies with the same IMDB rating are grouped together.

What Expression would I need to write to be able to sort all my movies from highest to lowest IMDB rating?
(Just like the official IMDB Ratings list:)

To answer my own question above... ;D

I've made it!!!

I made an expression that is grouped by:
Code: [Select]
[IMDb Rating] [Name] [Date (Year)]
And then added an expression to display by:
Code: [Select]
<b><font color="#ffb90f" "size="80">[IMDb Rating, 1]<//b>  <//font><b><font color="ffffff" "size="80">[Name, 1]<//b><//font><font color="C0C0C0" "size="80"> [Year, 1]<//font><font color="ff3333" "size="80"> [Keywords, 1]<//font> <font color="228B22" "size="70">[Edition, 1]<//font>
And finally sorted the result by:
Descending




Great success!

"And it can also be displayed in list view."

Update:
and I figured out how to group and sort movies based on IMDB rating per decade and per year.
Much fun!

Just a heads up - I've just published MCRatings 2.0, which adds TMDb support :)
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,119792.0.html
https://github.com/zybexXL/MCRatings

This allows MCRatings to get a few additional pieces of information:
- TMDB score
- Original Title
- Tagline
- Movie series (like, "Die Hard" for all of them)
- Keywords
- etc.

Some of this info is also fetched by JRiver itself when you do "Get Movie & TV Info", but not all.

Next step (next year?): movie posters, actor thumbnails, etc.

I have started to try and understand MediaElch and what it can do to spice up my Theater view for movies.
I have reread this thread but cant quite understand what Expression to write for the actors jpg to show up in my Theater view.
I do not see any thumbnail for the Director or other persons of interest to the movie besides the actors. Can MediaElch scrape thumbnails for the Director?

In MediaElch, thumbnails for the actors are in the movie folder and the folder are named ".actors".

Can someone share their expressions in theater view for jpg of actors and Director.


Ps,
I have also downloaded and starting to understand TinyMediamanager, that program write an extensive .nfo file that JRiver can access.
https://www.tinymediamanager.org/

What are your opinion on Tinymediamanager in regards to scraping and populating JRiver with jpg;s


Best regards,

Arcspin, I am afraid I can't help you when it comes to Mediaelch and actor/director images.  I use MCUtils to get those images, I didn't even know that Mediaelch could get those images.  The nice thing about MCUtils is that can add the actors name/role to the image as well as modify the look of the image (This post has a bit more info).  I use Mediaelch to get the logo image, posters and I also grab some other stuff, like clearart and banners that I am currently not implementing but I figured I might as well grab.

I don't have any experience with TinyMediaManager nor .nfo files.  I have heard it's a good program though.  For me, MCUtils gets 95% of what I want/need.  It's got a learning curve and it's command line only, but once you wrap your head around using it, it's easy to use.  I have sent you a PM.

Thanx for the reply and for suggesting some threads to read up on,

Let see if anyone else have some knowledge of Tinymediamanager and what that program can bring to the table.

And of course if @zybex decides to  develop Mcratings even further to also scrape jpg;s for actors/directors, logos and so on. That would be fantastic.
McRatings is the perfect blend of simplicity and functionality with an unprecedented connection straight into my movies in JRiver!

The weekend is soon here and with it time to tweak my Theater view ;o)

Is there a way of showing different information in the large view and in the small view.
As it is for me now, I know how to, in File info panel, distinguish between the show only in large view and show only in small view but...
Can I have different information in these two views.

Example, in large view I have these beautiful icons from IMDB, TMDB, Rotten tomato and MC. (Thanx Moe, Lepa and all others who contributes with knowledge)
Is there a way of not showing the Icons and instead only type IMDB, TMDB, and so on to save space in the small view.

I attach a picture of how my small view looks like and I would like to replace the icons with simple text instead (and still keep the icons in large view).

Have a great movie weekend!

This is my  current setup. I don't have meta critics etc but they could be easily added to row. Also Rotten Tomatoes could just show tomato or splat as an icon if I needed to save some space

Code: [Select]
<font size="100">If(!IsEmpty([Critic Rating]),<img src="tooltip:web-tmdb"> [Critic Rating]   ,)If(!IsEmpty([IMDb Rating]),<img src="tooltip:web-imdb-square"> [IMDb Rating]   ,)If(!IsEmpty([Rotten Tomatoes]),<img src="tooltip:web-rt"> [Rotten Tomatoes]% If(IsEqual([Rotten Tomatoes],60,6),<img src="tooltip:web-rt-fresh">,<img src="tooltip:web-rt-splat">),)If(IsEqual([Awards],Oscar,8),/  If(IsEqual([Awards],Won,8),<img src="tooltip:award-oscar-won-figure">,<img src="tooltip:award-oscar-nominated-figure">),)<//font>
or e.g.
Code: [Select]
<font size="100">If(!IsEmpty([Critic Rating]),<img src="tooltip:web-tmdb"> [Critic Rating]   ,)If(!IsEmpty([IMDb Rating]),<img src="tooltip:web-imdb-square"> [IMDb Rating]   ,)If(!IsEmpty([Rotten Tomatoes]),If(IsEqual([Rotten Tomatoes],60,6),<img src="tooltip:web-rt-fresh">,<img src="tooltip:web-rt-splat">)/ [Rotten Tomatoes]%,)If(IsEqual([Awards],Oscar,8),/  If(IsEqual([Awards],Won,8),<img src="tooltip:award-oscar-won-text">,<img src="tooltip:award-oscar-nominated-text">),)<//font>

Great small theater view.

Do you have the small icons handy and can you perhaps post those for me to download?



(I figured out how to create small view only expressions so that is not a question from me anymore)

Hi and thank you again Lepa for the icons, i had most of the icons from when Moe gave them to me, so a big thank you to you Moe as well!

It was fun designing a smaller theater view layout and I think I'm, for now, satisfied with my layout.


Have a good Saturday!

Hello,
I'm into Bitrates now ;o)  and are wondering how to make an expression that rounds off the bitrate value to Mbps.
Example: Bitrate [Bitrate] for a movie is 15307, I would like to display (in theater view) that number rounded off to 15.


Cheers,

As always, spot on!

I thought my next step would be manageable for me but I'm at a lost.
(it is futile for me to trial and error my way around the code)

Ok, this is what I'm after.

I have made two lines of code that I would like to implement dependent of resolution and the bitrate would be shown in Mbit.
The line of code works but I cant implement the round off and I sure as hell don't know how to implement the if resolution part  :P


If resolution is more then 1920
Code: [Select]
If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],16000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],40000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) [Bitrate],) <//font>

If resolution is 1920 or less
Code: [Select]
If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],10000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],20000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) [Bitrate],) <//font>


Would be grateful for some master coding wizardry,

I think this is what you're looking for.

>1920
Code: [Select]
If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],16000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],40000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) math(round(math([bitrate] / 1000))),) <//font>
<1920

Code: [Select]
If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],10000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],20000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) math(round(math([bitrate] / 1000))),) <//font>

Hello,
Seeing where you pasted the code make sense and was the one place that I didn't try. Thank you for that!

If you would be so kind, I have one final question of your expertise.
This is what I would like to accomplish.
If the movie has a resolution of more than 1920 (UHD) the first line of code would "set in" and if the movie has a resolution of 1920 or less (HD) the second line of code would "set in".

Code: [Select]
If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],16000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],40000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) math(round(math([bitrate] / 1000))),) <//font>
Code: [Select]
If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],10000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],20000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) math(round(math([bitrate] / 1000))),) <//font>

I don't know the right words and "set in" is probably not a correct term but what I mean is:
I get a green colored bitrate if the bitrate is more than 40Mbit for UHD movies or more than 20Mbit for HD movies.
The same goes for Yellow and red as stated below.

----------------
If resolution is more then 1920
16000 = Red color
40000 = Yellow color
100000 = Green color

If resolution is 1920 or less
10000 = Red color
20000 = Yellow color
100000 = Gren color
---------------


Is this doable?
I hope I'm not asking to much and I'm in no hurry.

So do you mean the expression for width around these color rules?
Like this?
If(IsEqual([Width],1920,5),UHD rule here, non-UHD rule here)

>1920
=<1920

If(IsEqual([Width],1920,5),If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],16000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],40000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) math(round(math([bitrate] / 1000))),) <//font>,If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],10000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],20000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) math(round(math([bitrate] / 1000))),) <//font>)

same thing inside code tag:
Code: [Select]
If(IsEqual([Width],1920,5),If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],16000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],40000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) math(round(math([bitrate] / 1000))),) <//font>,If(!IsEmpty([Bitrate]),IfElse(IsEqual([Bitrate],10000,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([Bitrate],20000,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([Bitrate],100000,3),<font color="#008000">) math(round(math([bitrate] / 1000))),) <//font>)

Precisely!
This is great and now it is visually easy to look att the color code to get a sense of the quality of the video file.


Great work Lepa and I'm in awe of your mad skillz!  ;D ;D ;D
