is it possible to make screens for .mp4, .mkv files besides .avi ?
I dont use CentOS so I cant be sure but Im guessing its pretty much straight forward like almost everything thats done in the console.can anyone tell me how to install it on Centos 5 ??
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/moviethumbnail/files/movie%20thumbnailer%20linux%20binary/mtn-200808a-linux/mtn-200808a-linux.tgz/download
tar -xzvf mtn-200808a-linux.tgz
cd mtn-200808a-linux
chmod 777 mtn
mv mtn-200808a-linux/ mtn_2008/
mtn_2008/mtn file.avi -f mtn_2008/tahomabd.ttf
mtn_2008/mtn *.avi -f mtn_2008/tahomabd.ttf -T
$ mtn
Segmentation fault
./mtn a.avi -f path/to/fontfile
Could not find/open font; font problem? see -f option
I personally use the dhyana.pl script on my various Ubuntu 12.04/13.04 systems to achieve pretty much the same thing as the mtn script. If dhyana.pl every croaks on me I'll check this one out, only b/c I have my dhyana.pl script wrapped with my own bash script that uploads the images once created to imgchili and saves the imgchili links as [BBCode] (pretty slick and a major time saver for me).
Dhyana.pl was actually created in CentOS so for me to get it to work on Ubuntu I had some trouble with the fonts, and I'm guessing mika.filestay's trouble is very similar. I do see that the script has a flag property to select a font type, so you'll probably want to start with that:
-f fontfile
On Ubuntu you'll find your all available .ttf (fontfile) in the root of or subdirectories within: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
PS The SourceForge page has a link to the "Bitstream Cyberbit" TTF download, but the link is dead. I'm sure that TTF can likely be found somewhere else, but either way using the -f fontfile flag that the author of this script provided was very well placed as this provides a simple work-around for such issues
