WDTV ThumbGen

WDTV ThumbGen is a comprehensive application that you can use to create movie thumbnails and information sheets by downloading data from various movie review websites.

Featuring a simple and well-organized interface, this program enables you to choose the preferred cover and movie information collector. It provides support for multiple websites, such as Amazon, Blu-Ray.com, TheMovieDB.org and more.

The desired movie directories or individual files can be selected using the integrated file browser and the movie is smartly detected based on the folder or the file name. The search can be filtered according to your preferences, as you can enter extra keywords to find, include or exclude the movie sheets, the external subtitles and the thumbnails.

The application features multiple user-interaction options, from user-controlled processing ('Manual Mode') or a semiautomatic mode (default tasks are performed automatically) to automatic processing (you are prompted to choose the movie when more matches are found) or the 'I'm Feeling Lucky Mode', which implies no user interaction at all.

You can set the program to update existing movie sheets during the download process and create playlists that include the selected media files. Also, it allows you to test a template, generate movie info (NFO) files and manually create a movie sheet based on the metadata file or even user-defined data.

WDTV ThumbGen enables you to add thumbnails for empty folders (e.g. series root folders) and insert episode numbers over the generated thumb. Exclusion lists, Telnet / SSH support with predefined and custom commands and an embedded video player are other advantages that this application comes with.

In addition to this, you can import data automatically from Ember Media Manager, XBMC, 'My Movies' folder, as well as export your collection as XML to Collectorz.com Movie Collector or Ant Movie Catalog.

To conclude with, WDTV ThumbGen provides you with a simple method for generating thumbnails for your favorite movies and TV shows and create a complete movie collection.
