Well, we can't have it interfering with the Writer field - not visibly, at least. And as far as I know there's no way of telling XBMC not to display *some* of a returned string. So I'd recommend either using another field that XBMC can read or adding the new info to the existing Writer value, with a shitload of spaces before it so it doesn't display on-screen.

OK sorry I am unsure how the core of this system works. I assumed that in the skin you could have grabbed the writer field and copy it to a new string before displaying the new string as the writer.

My bad.. Maybe I will find some time in near future to have a look at how the core works. Too much assembly code to write at the moment though to think about looking at C

digitalhigh has suggested that the 'Studio' field be used instead -

I've been going over this in my head all day, what would be best...and I think maybe using the "studio" tag instead of writer would be better, simply because you can still use the studio tag to convey studio information, but you can also keep the writer tag in use when it is used.

I dunno. One minute I think it's a good idea, then I'm not so sure which would be better. I just know it would be cool to have full writer fields for everything as well. I guess if it's just for Serenity, then it would be fine. I think stark uses a similar method to determine studios, so it would probably be easier for DJH to adapt to as well.

How would that work out for you?

This is what it currently looks like -

Code:

<credits>Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer_(MGM) - 720p AC-3 6ch eng</credits>

That'd work.

done.. next rev will have the data in the studio field for movies. shows and episode locations remain as they where.

in addition, the scanner has been updated to calculate the aspect ratio, pull the display ratio from the media and detect widescreen formats based on the display size and not just the (sometimes) compressed size in the container.

format support is expanding to the following that will be in the tags.. i'm hoping this covers the majority of them.
SDi, SDp, 480p, 540p, 576p, 720p, 768p, 1080p, 480i, 540i, 576i, 720i, 768i, 1080i

Exact size matches are first, then display based off whats encoded, then a fallback to standard calculations and "close to" size X for the label.

Very nice fekker. This looks promising.

All the code is in place.

Looks great. I would say lose the separator between the dolby digital logo and the channels though. It looks too much like 17.1 or L7.1.

And now, of course, I can't stop noticing it. Back to Illustrator.

One question that isn't skin related:
Couldn't the same concpet be used for awards?
I always wanted to have some info about the awards a particular movie received.

So I could sort my movies by "Best Supporting Actor Oscar Winners", "Cannes Best Movies Winners", etc...

Wa laa. Is this going to work for the flags shown in showcase view?

Those are looking nice! Not to be nit-picky, but isn't Dolby 2.0 the exact opposite of surround sound?

[ezechiel1917]

looks great but I'm really missing Rating and Runtime there.
