Folder thumbnail ?

[Vicne]

Very simple question : Does DLNA support customized icons ("thumbnails") for folders ?
If so, I'd be glad to help implement that feature : that would be very useful for mp3s...

Keep on the good work

DLNA supports that I guess, but not the ps3 (and believe me I tried a lot of things )

[Vicne]

Thanks for that blazing fast answer.
I guessed so as no server that I know of shows any, but well... Maybe in future PS3 firmware update... Who knows ?

Kind regards,

Vicne

Hi
Sony BRAVIA supports folder thumbnails. Thumbnail must be send as <res> tag, i.e.:

Code: Select all

<DIDL-Lite>
    <container id="0$1$0$0" childCount="14" parentID="0$1$0" restricted="true">
      <dc:title>Folder</dc:title>
      <res protocolInfo="http-get:*:image/jpeg:DLNA.ORG_PN=JPEG_TN">http://192.168.1.101:5001/get/0$1$0$0/folder.jpg</res>
      <dc:date>2009-05-07T20:07:15</dc:date>
      <upnp:class>object.container.storageFolder</upnp:class>
    </container>
</DIDL-Lite>

I was created little patch, to implement folder thumbails. (In BRAVIA shows also others thumbnails, except png country flags).

[tomeko]

I think, that thumbnails in <tes> tag shouldn’t be limited to folders (as is in r348). DLNA specification restricts <upnp:albumArtURI> to object.item.audioItem or
object.container.album.musicAlbum. For others, thumbails should be exposed with <res> tag. Now BRAVIA can’t show thumbnails for video (for videos, images and folders tv gets thumbnail from <res>).

I added the folder check, because it was crashing my other media renderer browser :p

well more tests to do now

BRAVIA supports png thumbnail files (with transparency) . There is requirements to png files supported by bravia:
file size < =65536 bytes and dlna:profileID=JPEG_TN (without this thumbnails are rejected)
picture size <=255x255 (PMS sends 256x256) (without this thumbails are displayed as single line, unproper)
For discovery jpeg file is required.
So please, resize country flags to 255x255 (or 160x160, and add jpg versions for DLNA copliance) and add jpg file (may be 256x256 and/or (120x120 + 48x48 for DLNA compliance)) to PMS.xml
