Easier way for addons to dictate what views to use
#1
Like say 'The trailers' uses poster art and youtube uses 16x9 art. Now for popular addons like these I'll use:
PHP Code:
!substring(container.folderpath,plugin://plugin.video.the.trailers) 
so say 'The Trailers', I disable all my landscape/banner/square views.


But wouldnt it be easier if maybe in the container we put a tag:
<icons>landscape</icons>
<icons>poster</icons>
<icons>keep<icons>

The "keep" would refer to the Files type view all skins have where the icon just scales width/hieght, no real defined size.

Then say 'The Trailers' would define views that should be used - Poster and keep. Advanced launcher/RCB maybe could somehow tell if SNES then use landscape
