Hotkey for Video Cover art management ?
« on: April 12, 2009, 04:36:29 am »

Hello,

To avoid having as thumbnail always the first image for my Videos, I use to choose inside the video the right thumbnail image

During MC13 video play, I use 2 methods:

-(1)-
Right click / Use Screen Grab for Thumbnail/ ( or screen grab to file)
then
Stop Playing
then
/ Right click / Cover Art / Save Cover Art To External Location Specified in Options /
(I set an specific folder for covers, on my WHS which has Videos)

or, if impossible :

-(2)-
[Print Screen]
then
Stop Playing
then
/ Right click / Cover Art / Paste from Clipboard /
then
/ Save Cover Art To External Location Specified in Options /

Question:
-> Can we have 1 or 2  Hotkeys to accelerate the process ?

Example:
MC13 Video playing
Press an specific Hotkey
-> Capture thumbnail + tag it in the Video + put it automatically in the " External Location Specified in Options"
(with automatic detection of the best capture method (1) or (2))

-> Can it be possible ?

Thanks for all :)

Hello,

So, no possibility to shorten the process used for manually choosing Video thumbnail ?

Thanks :)

yessss !
So: JRiver boys : some (more) code lines to write ;)
And it would be the... Paradise :)

Waiting this, I have a question :

-> Can an external resident small "Macro on key" program could be able to launch, when a specific key is pressed during an Video plying, a sequential list (macro) of orders for :

- Capture image,
- Set it as Video thumbnail,
-and store it as .jpg in the "specific Covers folder"

??

Thanks for all & best regards from France
