(2020-10-26, 16:40)TheRealDeadMan Wrote:@TheRealDeadMan , I was looking and it seems that having code to detect proper file naming is indeed the only way to have bit depth and hdr flags to show up. I will add the code to Amber, but I am still waiting to see if I can get some help in creating new flags that match the rest of the other flags. If (or when, hopefully) I get some help with that, then I will update the skin to support this.(2020-10-26, 12:57)bsoriano Wrote: @TheRealDeadMan, there is already a 4K icon. I did not design any of the icons, and I am not any good at design. I will see if I can get some help with designing an 8K icon.Ok, the screen shot above is a 10bit/4K episode - although the aspect is 1.33:1. I will check it on my VIM3 to see what it displays and report back.
As for the 8, 10 and 12 bit icons, is Kodi Matrix detecting video bit depth automatically now? If not, the only way I know for displaying those would be for the bit depth to be part of the name of the file. I would need to account for this in the Amber code. Would that be acceptable to you? Please let me know. Thanks.
Edit: So checked some other files on my VIM3 and Linux machines. 4k/1.33 screens do not show the 4K icons - but "regular" 4K movies the icon does show up on both. I am guessing this isn't an issue with Amber, but with either the FFMpeg decoder or Android decoder (tested both decoders on the VIM3) - or how Kodi detects what should be a 4K screen size.
With all the HDR detection stuff that has been added over the last year or more, I would assume it can detect now. Someone with much more knowledge on that part would have to give a definitive answer though.
I see in the Aeon MQ forum, someone added a way to detect various formats by proper file naming. (Aeon MQ forum post).
Thank you
