Hi phil,

Just want to report, The P lines from the codec info labels are missing with lately builds.

cheers

Hey Phil,

Found some things/bugs -

No movie information if setting movies as groups is enabled -


If viewing the info of a movie there are no sound flags/icons -


However it works if you have 'show info when movie is paused' enabled -

What settings did you use to get the bluray logo instead of h264 or dvd instead of mepg2?

Thanks

i guess he is not using latest builds, it's obvious from the old media flags.
however, i wish phil can bring the bluray,dvd,web-dl .. flags back instead of codec flags.

I think the codec flags are much more helpful, the resolution flag already tells you what it is. But just my opinion.

true. Even the codec flag could be removed imo (be warned ), I think "year" or "runtime" are much more interesting infos for movies.
Main reason for removal though is that basing anything on the filename of media is a bad idea because it´s not intuitive. The user does not know why certain icons appear.

Please keep the codec flags, LiveTV uses them


Noticed one bug in the "chose fanart" section. When you are supposed to select new remote art for a movie or tv show, the preview of the remote fanart does not work. it just displays the default image on right.

Agree, all of the technical flags barely register a blip on viewers radar when they're browsing the library. The most important information my family focuses on when using Kodi are the classification rating, runtime and realtime the video will end.

As I setup Kodi and add files to library, the specs only matter to me and even then it's a casual glance as I'm flicking through content.

EDIT: Phil, with regards to classification ratings. Will your skin support the Australian classification ratings as AN5 does?

Yeah, you have a point there, I mean all I do is see it and say "oh look, its a blah, blah file" *shrugs* Plus Ive never add tags to my files anyway. Resolution is all I'm concerned about as Im always an the lookout for 720 versions of my 480 movies

I agree. It's nice to know before hand if it's regular or high def, so I can replace anything "regular" before starting it, and just move on to a different movie / show

[phil65]

True. I also wouldn´t remove codec everywhere, but I think for the showcase mediaflags others would be more suited. Codec itself (without info like bitrate etc) doesnt really bring any valuable info to the user. What would be the best replacement though? I´m not sure whether it is runtime or year.

[ShadowTek]

Id say run-time as its more of an immediate "need to know" type item, as in.. Do I have enough time to watch this movie before xxx

[Kokonutcreme]

I agree about runtime?

Phil do you have any thoughts about my question with Australian ratings support?

yes, could add them. I just need textures and the code.

complete log, please. All scripts up-to-date? Which platform?

Hello phil65,

First of all I like to thanks you for your great job. Do you thinking about adding old version of cdart and front cover to the home screen when music is playing?
You could add menu to choose between old and new style of cdart.
