You'll have to ask in the Confluence forum.

Looked around a lot in various .xml files in XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\720p directory. Found out that I need to tweak VideoFullScreen.xml.

Changed "max" in first line. From
Code:
<control type="label" id="1">
     <width min="10" max="710">auto</width>
     <height>30</height>
     <font>font30</font>
     <align>left</align>
     <aligny>center</aligny>
     <label>$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title]</label>
     <textcolor>orange</textcolor>
     <scroll>true</scroll>
</control>
to
Code:
<control type="label" id="1">
     <width min="10" max="620">auto</width>
     <height>30</height>
     <font>font30</font>
     <align>left</align>
     <aligny>center</aligny>
     <label>$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title]</label>
     <textcolor>orange</textcolor>
     <scroll>true</scroll>
</control>

And added following section after "Video Resolution Image" "control" section:
Code:
<control type="image" id="1">
     <description>Video Codec Image</description>
     <width>85</width>
     <height>35</height>
     <aspectratio align="center">keep</aspectratio>
     <texture>$INFO[VideoPlayer.VideoCodec,flagging/video/,.png]</texture>
</control>

I think this is not perfect and may need tweak for DivX codec. I think in Dharma this display was controlled through DialogVideoFullScreen.xml and has a tweak for DivX.

I'll see if this can become a part of Eden source base!

Thanks everyone!

I'll tell you why I removed it. Basically the average user couldn't care what codec a video is in, they only really care if its HD or SD also the reason why the audio one is there still is because people like to know if they are playing DTS, DTS-HD, Dolby Digitial, and so on or just plain stereo really I should probably change it so only the HD audio codecs show

Hi Jezz_X,

I really appreciate your response. I agree with your view point and respect that. My humble request is to not touch Audio part and may be put back video codec as well! Let average user ignore it! But, folks like me who have been using XBMC for long and love it should not be deprived Smile

Thanks!
