Could anyone tell me what the highest resolution for posters that any of the views except the fullscreen info view use at 1080p? I'm pretty sure the List view uses the largest posters, but I couldn't find a 1080p screen of that to measure the dimensions from.

I'd like to get all of my cached posters to this size since I imagine it'd be the most efficient.

I think this it it from the list.xml.

PHP Code:
    <include name="MovieListIcon_Thumb">
        <
posx>850</posx>
        <
posy>203</posy>
        <
width>244</width>
        <
height>359</height>
        <
aspectratio scalediffuse="false">scale</aspectratio>
        <
texture diffuse="thumbs/movieposter_mask.png">defaultvideobig.png</texture>        
    </include> 

This for 720p so multiply by 1.5.

366 (Width) x 239.33 (Height) = 87596

The square root of that is 295.96 so you want to make your advancedsettings thumbsize 296 for them to be most efficient. That is if it really makes that much difference.

Where are the details on how to take advantage of all the special labels in Stark (DTS, 720p, 1080p, etc.). I've gleaned that it has something to do with how you name the files.

stark isn't out yet. older aeon builts couldn't view DTS, 720p, etc labels... so wait until 30th of march...

Code:
3.2  Media flags
----------------

Again, pending CapnBry's solution for reading media info direct from the files
themselves, you'll need to do some file renaming if you want all of these to
work. The two exceptions are MPAA Rating and Studio, both of which require the
right strings to be present in your XBMC database. It's pretty much essential
to use locally-stored nfo files to manage and control this data, so look up
XBMC Media Companion and start using that.

The keywords Aeon looks for are:

    Studio            String
    ------            ------

    20th Century Fox    "Fox"
    Universal        "Universal"
    Film4            "FilmFour" / "Channel Four"
    Disney            "Disney" / "Pixar"
    Gaumont            "Gaumont"
    United Artists        "Artists"
    New Line Cinema        "New Line"
    Dimension        "Dimension"
    Touchstone        "Touchstone"    
    Hollywood Pictures    "Hollywood"    
    Carolco            "Carolco"
    Revolution Studios    "Revolution"
    Lakeshore Entertainment    "Lakeshore"
    Lucasfilm        "Lucasfilm"
    Screen Gems        "Screen Gems"
    Warner Bros.        "Warner"
    TriStar Pictures    "TriStar"
    Castle Rock        "Castle Rock"
    Studio Canal        "Studio Canal"
    Paramount Pictures    "Paramount" / "Comedy Central"
    DreamWorks        "DreamWorks"
    Columbia Pictures    "Columbia"
    Metro Goldwyn Mayer    "MGM" / "Mayer"
    Sony Pictures        "Sony"
    Artisan            "Artisan"
    Lionsgate        "Lionsgate"
    Miramax            "Miramax"

    MPAA Rating        String
    -----------        ------

    G            "Rated G"
    PG            "Rated PG"
    PG-13            "Rated PG-13"
    R            "Rated R"
    NC-17            "Rated NC-17"

    Media Source        String
    ------------        ------

    Blu-ray            "bluray"
    DVD            "sddvd"

    Resolution        String
    ----------        ------

    720p            "720p"
    1080p            "1080p"

    Audio            String
    -----            ------

    DTS            "dts"
    Dolby Digital        "dolbydigital"

Note that for media source, resolution and audio, the strings have to be
present (anywhere) in the filename for the movie. MPAA Rating and Studio,
meanwhile, have to be present in the relevant field of the XBMC database /
nfo file. Renamer (http://www.den4b.com/downloads.php?project=ReNamer) is
an excellent tool for batch renaming files.

A more complete selection of flags will be added when CapnBry's solution
is merged into XBMC trunk.

djh_ :

I know you aren't taking feature requests or coding advice but would it be
possible to just have the audio, source and resolution flags pulled from actual
graphics in the movide directory like you are doing with the -big.png files?

Meaning, we have a source.png, resolution.png and audio.png?

That way, we can have the defaults you provide and add our own or modify
your defaults. Those that want color labels would have them and those that
don't want to be limited to 2 sources and 2 audio types would also be pleased.

Quick example for me, the movie Mobsters was only available in HD on HDDVD.
I would like to use that flag instead of Blu-ray. Or the version of the movie
Se7en i have was ripped from an HD Premium TV Channel. I would like to have
the media flag show an HDTV logo like this one (converted to black like your
other ones)

Is this something that can be done or do you think it's a stupid idea?

You can get a lot of your renaming completed with the inbuilt AppleScripts.

Enable AppleScripts directly from the top menu bar:

open -> Applications/AppleScript Utility
Check "Show Script in Menu Bar" and "Show Computer Scripts"

Then in the menu bar you'll have this:

Lots of options there, or you can add your own.

Perhaps I'm dense (okay, I actually am kinda dense):

On the text above it says that to use the advanced tags, the information has to be somewhere inside the filename.

But, how does this work on movies such as:

The Fox and the Hound (Disney - G - sddvd -dolbydigital)

Does it pick up Fox or Disney?


- User 42580 - 2009-03-20

I honestly don't think that it is a good idea to rename folders to "prepare for Aeon".
There is a lot of work in progess when it comes to video flaggin on XBMC. So there is no way to tell if your work is gonna be used.

Just go on downloading high-def posters and fanarts... And wait till the flags are added
into XBMC trunk.


- djh_ - 2009-03-20

Quite. There's a lot of time being wasted in this thread, especially by those making skin requests based on a feature that isn't even in XBMC trunk yet. Posters and fanart are fine, but the flagging stuff is best left until the skin's out, and even then for the enthusiast alone.


- Ayala - 2009-03-20

yeah there seem to be a whole lotta interest about renaming and flagging files. I'm really not that interested in all that as much as I am interested in localizing propper NFO files in each folder (though any suggestions provided are much appreaciated).

I'm not renaming mine. Too much effort. Just thought you were, hence the advice post.


- El Massman - 2009-03-20

under the source flags there seems to only be sddvd and bluray. just wondering if there's going to be an icon telling you what format the media has been converted to. ie: the source is bluray and it's been converted to H.264 so both these logos would show. or it's a standard def dvd ripped to divx. will the divx logo also show? it's only my opinion but i'm generally only really interested in what format my media currently is, as once it's been converted it no longer really holds any association with the original format. i used download my hdtv in sd. which, while coming from an hd source are actually standard def and in my eyes shouldn't hold the hd tv tag. but they aren't actually from an sd source. what are they tagged as? lol. hope my question makes some sense.

thanks,
