Inserting Assets into MediaBin

Silix

Hi,

Env: Virage-MediaBin 7.2, Windows 2008, SQL Server 2008

I need to work on a solution to import PDF and PPT documents into MediaBin. This is simply done to generate thumbnail preview images of those documents for the web.

So I have both the Java classes for
1) Import documents to MediaBin
2) Generate thumbnail image preview of Documents

Both are working fine, except the quality of Thumbnail generated using this custom method isn't good. I'm using MediaBinServerSoap.insertAsset() method. Can someone point out what is wrong with the parameters I have ?

[PHP]
MBContainer pbContainer = mbServerSoap.getContainerByPath(documentContainer, mbServerSoap
.getRootContainer().getMID(), true);
byte[] fileContents = simpleFile.read(0, -1);
BooleanHolder status = new BooleanHolder(true);
String taskName = "(Insert Unmodified)";
// Try Inserting the asset into the container
try {
mbServerSoap.insertAsset(fileContents, fileName, pbContainer.getMID(),
mbServerSoap.getTaskByName(taskName).getMID(), null, 850, status, new StringHolder());
} catch (RemoteException rex) {
....
}

[/PHP]

As you cans see I'm using windows codepage value 850. Is this the cause of the issue ?

Thanks

Your code looks fine. Do you see the same issue when you insert the file into MB using the MB windows or web client?

If I understand what you are trying to do correctly I am not sure if there is a good solution via MB. The thumbnail images generated by MB are very low res and are primarily for consumption in the MB clients rather than using them for web.
