Req Aspect Ratio from IMDB
#1
Hi,

Would it be possible to add an option to download aspect ratio from IMDB and use this on the NFO's aspect line?

I have tried changing tags in my mkv's to show the correct aspect ratio but then Kodi does not show the movie as intended.

Currently all my mkv's in Kodi show the tag as 4:3 or 16:9. By enabling this option it will show the correct aspect ratio for the movie, understanding that once the movie is played it will go back to 4:3 or 16:9

Thanks in advance

The aspect ratio is always calculated from the real file.
It is not saved in any way, so you cannot override that.
(Respectively, Kodi overwrites the stream details on every play whith it's own detected ratio)

TMM & Kodi uses following calculation:

Wanna help translate TMM ?

Correct

Unfortunately on bluray's kodi always displays 16:9

By downloading the aspect ratio from imdb you will, in most cases, display the correct AR. Kodi will read the NFO and display the AR (label) from that file. Once you play the movie, Kodi will calculate as you mentioned. After viewing the movie, you can force a refresh that will pull AR from NFO again.

At least with this method, I can visually see the AR before playing the movie.

So the feature request is to download the AR from IMDB and place this in NFO file using the aspect line instead of having TMM calculate the AR.

Thanks
