Deleting Roku BIF files

At present MCM deletes BIF files for use with Roku.

That is of course if you have "[Organization] Delete unknown Images" checked.

I personally think it would be nice not to delete those files if present, and even better if there was an option to create such files if not present.

How are they named?

I know Media Browser has added a plugin to generate these for the Roku but don't know how they are formatted. I see on the forum people talking about 240 and 320.

Example:
"03X15 - Nanda Parbat.mp4"
"03X15 - Nanda Parbat-320.bif"

Yeah this is currently Media Browser Server generating these.

Dang sorry that I missed that other post...my search didn't show anything on bif at the time.

Go ahead and add this to the issue tracker as a Feature Request with the specific naming conventions Media Browser is using.

Okay I posted it to the tracker.

Hopefully I explained it well enough with enough info.

Yes, but Emby/Media Browser use -240.bif and -320.bif.

The next beta release of Media Center Master will resolve this issue. MediaBrowser is generating nonstandard base index frame files and we'll accommodate that.
