Hey bro, mind to share your 4 bay hdd enclosure type and HD brand? I am seriously thinking of getting this now, cause my internal 1.5TB is no longer enough

Hi Ngto, below is Larry, from AC Ryan Asia Pacific HQ, explanation for your question:

You required to install ThumbGen on your PC to generate Rich content images for your Movies.

Movie Folder Playback using Browser Mode (To use with ThumbGen Rich content images)

Use ThumbGen App, you can generate Rich content images which can be used on YAMJ as well.

How it works:
Have the DVD cover art named as folder.jpg placed into the folder of your movie. The moviesheet must been named as 0001.jpg. On browser, navigate to the folder. You should see the preview window showing the folder.jpg. Press [SLOW] on RC (Remote control), it will display 0001.jpg. Press [ENTER] on RC (Remote control) to play the movie.

Example
refer to Image_1

Movie Folder Playback showing DVD Cover art or DVD Thumbnail. Make sure generated thumbnail is named as folder.jpg
refer to Image_2

Showing Moviesheet after pressing [SLOW] on RC (Remote control). Make sure generated moviesheet from ThumbGen is named as 0001.jpg

Additional function, if you have multiple folders and have done generating the moviesheets, if you're on moviesheet preview, you may go to the next moviesheet by pressing [DOWN] or [UP] on RC (Remote control). You do not need to exit back to folder list in order to play the next show or see the next moviesheet.


Not sure if I am exactly answering to your question.

Cheers!



Attached thumbnail(s)

Hi Bro, would you consider Thecus, one of the famous NAS manufacturer? If you need to stream files in low bitrates, I will suggest you go for Thecus N4100Pro. But if you need higher bitrates, like original bluray rip, strongly suggest go for high-end NAS, either N5500 or N4200. If you need the price, pls PM me. Thanks.

Hi Ngto, furhter from Eugene explanation, pls read below:

As Larry has mentioned, ThumbGen is an application that creates content rich images and has to be stored under the same folder with the movie so that our firmware can display and work with it.
So for a movie titled for example “Spiderman”, can be stored within a folder like the following,
• Spiderman (FOLDER)
- Spiderman.mkv (VIDEO)
- folder.jpg (Coverart generated by ThumbGen)
- 0001.jpg (Movie sheet generated by ThumbGen)

And at the moment, ThumbGen can only work with movies in individual folders so you need to create a folder for each movie you have in the HDD.
Basically ThumbGen is just to create nice images to work with our Playon!HD firmware.

It is different with YAMJ, in the sense that YAMJ can be use to categorise and sort the Jukebox as Movies, TV Series, Genre, Title, Rating, Year, etc and display in a thumbnail fashion for selection.
Although YAMJ images are not as pretty as those generated by ThumbGen, it works differently but function nicely as a Movie Jukebox.

Please feel free to check back if you have more queries.


Dear All, pls remember that we will have a PlayOn!HD workshop on 31st July 2010, Saturday, from 2:15pm to 5pm. Location will be finalized this week. Pls let us know your problem and we will compile most common problems and let Eugene know the problem list. He will explain to you ya. Pls come and meet our tai kor Eugene.
This workshop is for Box Builder customers only and it is not free , but in return, you will get more . Patient, details will be announced soon.

Cheers.

Thanks, Boxbuilder, the problem is I can't even install the program itself. When I run the setup program on my PC using Windows XP, it will give error during installation and stop.

Is POHD capable of streaming straight from a mac/apple network? Or do i need a NAS to make that work?

I stream my movies from my mac mini thru network via my router...

What programs did you use to do that?

Or by default sharing the folder will be seen on the POHD?

no program is required...just make sure ur mac is mounted with the hdd...
then, I go to pohd under browser...then select network and create a shortcut to the folder of the the hdd frm the mac mini...
of coz, i m using the wired connection on the router...mac and pohd is connected via router...
furthermore, my external hdd mounted on mac mini is formatted with mac partition...

i think i know whats the problem, happened to me as well. u might need to install the framework 3.5 before
can open the thumbgen. u can find the link at their website thumbgen .

btw the thumbgen work great, i spent whole nite converting my movies to the rich contents.

I already knew about Framework 3.5. I already installed it before trying to install Thumbgen but it didn't work.

Ic, then i can't help sorry. I got 2 pc installed with xp & vista. Both give me error when i tried to open the thumgen.
When i update both OS with framework 3.5 , both pc can open without problem.

My problem is I can't even install Thumbgen. May I ask what version did you download and install?

The latest version, 1.1.1.2 . Yeap, when i finished download, clicked on the .exe file, it directly respond with error , something like fail to initialize properly.

So i update the framework 3.5, after that it can open and install.

Can we use external hdd for this Thumbgen? or it requires internal hdd as well?
