Using VideoImages with your jukebox

Introduction

VideoImages are the small screen captures from each episode of a TV Show. Some skins (not the default one provided with YAMJ) use this images to display alongside the episode plot and other details.

Parameters

To use VideoImages you will need a skin that supports them and ensure these parameters are set in the skin.properties file

mjb.includeVideoImages=true

Using Local VideoImages

You can store VideoImages with the TV Episodes that they correspond to in a similar fashion to other Artwork

Naming Conventions

VideoImages should be named the same as the episode that they correspond to with the VideoImage token added to the end (Defaults to ".videoimage"

So, for a filename 'Chuck S01E01.avi' the VideoImage filename should be 'Chuck S01E01.videoiamge.jpg'

If you have an video file with more than one episode in it, you can either use one image for both episodes (same as above), or specify individual episode images by indicating the sequence in the filename:

Chuck.S02E06E07.avi
Chuck.S02E06E07.videoimage_1.jpg   <<< Corresponds to E06
Chuck.S02E06E07.videoimage_2.jpg   <<< Corresponds to E07
etc.
