WDTV Thumbnail Builder WD TV Thumbnail Builder is a set of tools for the WD TV media players, though it will work with any thing really.

This utility can automatically download and save thumbnail images for all of your media files and save them in such a way that the WD TV will display them when browsing media in thumbnail mode. This utility will also create thumbs for folders with the folder name as part of the thumb to make navigation in thumbnail mode easier.

I build this app to get my own library in order, but I hope others can make use of it also. Suggestion are welcome for improvement.

Getting Started

Select the folder that contains the videos you want to download thumbs from from the directory tree.
Select Find All from the toolbar.
If you like the thumbs that were found, select Save All

Custom Find

If you don't like the what the default find returns:

Press the find custom button on a thumb. This will search google images for your thumb
Drag and drop or copy and paste the cover you like from the google results to the file you want.
Press save on the thumb

Note: Images are automatically resized to 200x300

Folder Thumbs

By default, the WDTV does not display an icon with a name for a folder. You have to select a folder to see it's name below.

The Make Folder Icons command will automatically recursively build a Folder.jpb for the folder you have selected and all its sub-folders. To the right is a sample labels folder thumbnail.

File Name Thumbs

Some video files, like home movies may not have a proper cover. Make File Name Thumbs will create a thumb with the text of the file name making it easy to visualize what each video is.
