HOG II & III AUTO FIXTURE COMPILER !

The ability to preview thumnails on the console is surely the answer. The Virtuoso does this well.

[Spam Butterfly]

The Virtuoso holds content locally on the console's mac. At least last time I looked. Besides, if the first frames of your movie are black (as commonly happens), you're not going to know which movie is which. More useful, surely, would be the name of the movie, right? Catalyst v4 has a build in web-server. It ain't rocket science then for console manufacturers to do this (or indeed get the thumbnails, if that floats your boat). You just need to poll the media server on it's IP address on port 8080. The URL is 'x.x.x.x:8080/catws.index.html'. No special protocols required.

the http command to get a image preview is of the form-

http://localhost:8080/catws/Images/000_001.jpg

in this case

000 is the folder
001 is the file.

---

so the general form of the command is.

http://x.x.x.x:8080/catws/Images/fff_ggg.jpg

x.x.x.x is address of computer.

will get folder fff
file ggg

as a jpg preview.
