Hi everyone,
New to the forum here but it's great to see all of these updates. I have been using Ember for a while now but hadn't found all of these updates so I have been making do even though the program seemed to be slowly falling apart. So I plan to get everything up to date and hopefully start to get a bit more out of the program.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask or if anyone will be able to answer this but does anyone know the ffmpeg command that Ember uses to create the video file with scrolling text when you use the Offline Media Manager option. Basically I have a collection of offline movies and TV episodes and I use the Offline Media Manager to get the meta data and then create a video which says where the DVD is located. This works fine for Movies but not for TV, I can create a 15 second avi from a jpg so I can use the backdrop.jpg file to create the video but I can't get the scrolling text overlay part. I have a few other ideas to do this either with subtitle files or by manually adding the DVD location to the picture but ideally I would like it to look the same as the offline movie files so if I had the ffmpeg command that Ember uses I could manually do it for the TV stuff and it will all look the same and be easier.
The command I have at the moment for ffmpeg which creates a 15 second avi from the jpg is:
ffmpeg -loop_input -i "F:\TV\The Big Bang Theory\Season 01\1x01 - Pilot.jpg" -s 1920x1080 -r 1 -t 15 -qscale 2 -b 1 -an "F:\TV\The Big Bang Theory\Season 01\1x01 - Pilot.avi"
I guess all Ember does is something similar but with a switch to overlay some text. I have spent a will looking into various ffmpeg library commands but I haven't really got anywhere. If I could just find out what command Ember sends to ffmpeg I could work the rest out myself.
Cheers for any help
