The patch I said I'd post on Friday I just put up today. Stupid work doing a redesign of a feature after a release candidate + costume party weekend = Zzzzz.

It seems to me better to just stick with one tag name to save confusion?The VideoInfoTag, the codec/codecid change reflects the decision that fourcc should be used instead of decoder codec. I know the nfo generator can make this decision itself, but there are already utilities out there that put both out so I thought this would be acceptable. The displayaspectratio thing was solely for compatibility but not as tied to that one.
Also, I'm going to change the aspect ratio stuff to work on ranges rather than the current system. Reason is that the current things either overlap, or have spaces between them - thus some fall through the cracks. Better IMO to use something like the geometric mean of each ratio as a cutoff.
jmarshall Wrote:In the case that things are too far away, currently we just return nothing at all, right?Yeah that's right. I thought that would be preferred to prevent it from being flat out wrong, but the more I think about it the less I think it is an issue. Closest will probably work out ok.
