Starting with svn-release 0.1.185 the scanning of the recordings will be performed by background service only, so the recording-manager will only trigger the background service to start a new scan. Starting with release 0.1.100 bonus material can be managed too. Bonus material could i.e. be the vita of an actor. Support for an image of the actor is included. The bonus material is for so no video material, but something like the description of a recording. The description of bonus material may also have continuation pages. Put the bonus material as a textfile (*.txt) into a directory of your choice. The name of the textfile will be the title of the bonus material, i.e. the name of an actor. If in that directory an image is found, that has the same name as the textfile, it will be taken as image for that bonus material. The format/extension of the image can be 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg' or 'png'. Of cause it is possible to attach an arbitrary image using the details dialog. The scanning of bonus material works quite the same as the scanning of recordings. Choose 'extra->scan recordings' and select the directory, that contains the bonus material. If you select 'file read' from the recording manager, recordings and bonus material will be read from database, so the overview contains both media types. The contextmenue will be adapted to the proper type. |
