Emby BIF Generator

Generates a BIF file containing thumbnail images used by Emby to show previews when scrubbing through a video.

Frames are extracted from the working file using FFmpeg every 10 seconds, scaled to 320 pixels wide, and combined into a single Roku BIF file.

This flow element does not require the Emby plugin settings to be configured, it only creates the BIF file.

If left blank, the BIF file will be saved in the same folder as the input file.

If left blank, the original filename will be used with a -320-10.bif suffix, for example My Movie (2024)-320-10.bif.

This supports variables.
