Menu images are not displayed on Merlin device #1

Open IsaRK opened 1 year ago

IsaRK commented 1 year ago

My steps :

In the Merlinator : add a new menu at level 0 (root menu) + an image on the menu : it works fine.
Export the playlist and add the image files (both in the root folder and the "Default" folder).
Start the Merlin device : Menu is there but its image is not displayed (I got the default "M" image instead).

Note :

my image file has a guid name.
images on mp3 files are correctly displayed both in the Merlinator and on the device.
I tried to do the same with a menu at a different level : still the same issue.

Could you please help ? Which setting should I check ?

Thanks for the app !

Hi @IsaRK I have same problem. At the first I thought it was Python version (using 3.8 instead of 2.7) but it not seems to be that problem :(

Also have you tried to open defaultPics.zip ? It's set with a password ...

Hie, the menu image is renamed by merlinator. You will have to rename the jpg file. I can copy/paste the merlinator menu name by return on the menu image : "change image".

The jpg files has to be "simple", i had to disable any optimization to make them work (i think i may only be the "progressive" option, but i was tired of removing and inserting the sd card)

Merci @ptinico972 ! I had no problem with the images I used, so it may well be that the jpeg format is the issue here. I added a warning in the readme. @IsaRK and @williamtan-github, can you check if using a non-progressive JPEG solves the problem?

Thank you for this piece of software ! The free library of this product i great, but with it i just added a folder "grandpa story's" with a first record made by my children's grand father !

This zip file has nothing to do with this bug (hopefully). It only contains some original images extracted from the Merlin, as well as the merlinator icon. It's password-protected because of possible copyright issues concerning these images.

Hi @djokeur , I did not check the non-progressive JPEG fix. I used @ptinico972 's fix and it worked ! Thanks a lot for the answer(s) and the app !
