Creating folder.jpg within MP -> Movies -> IMDB lookup

[ven00039]

bug confirmend but not completly fixed , when using with xface the size of the cover art isnt corrected. its still smaller than others cover art

[testimies]

This bug is still present.

Is it possible for some dev to implement this to latest SVN's?? It is a small problem but a bit annoying. I have the exactly same problem as BoelShit has in the first message.

This fix corrects the bad quality/stretching of small image problem but brings new one. Top bar is missing. It is still there but I can't see it. If I press the place it should be it still closes mediaportal / gives me a shutdown menu etc etc. Am I only one with this problem? Top bar works correctly before I replaced the original dll.. And if I replace the new one with original again, top bar is still missing.. It seems like something breaks..

[BoelShit]

If you replace the new dll file with the old file and the topbar is still missing it shouldnt be a problem caused by this fix...

Hi,
Is this bug still valid or has it been fixed?

AFAIK this bug is still present in latest SVN's altho I read somewhere that a person managed to get it working when the checkbox "Every folder is a movie" is checked. I can't confirm that though.

Just to comment on that patch:
ConvertToLargeCoverArt does nothing more than changing the name respecting our thumb conventions.
So basically your change is useless

More critical are the missing brackets of the last "else" condition. The second command will always be execute this way. So in short you produced another behaviour by accident


Nevertheless - thank you for looking at it!

LOL ok.... i was never good at it anyway

Just one question: Howcome with the changed code the Folder.jpg was in high quality instead of the low image quality it was before the change?

                  if (forceFolderThumb)
                  {
                      ...
                  }
                  else
                      File.Copy(largeCoverArtImage, strFolderImage, false); //edited by BoelShit
                      File.Copy(coverArtImage, strFolderImage, false); //edited by BoelShit

The last line is what I meant - this copy will happen regardless whether forceFolderThumb is true or not. So basically it's the same as using the dedicated folder option.
Therefore if NOT using this option your patch would break thumb handling - the easiest case:
1. serveral movies in one folder.
2. download IMDB details e.g. for movie 4.
3. with your patch there would be a folder.jpg for movie 4 in that folder of _mixed_ films

Don't worry though - MP is almost too powerful in regard of options and unfortunately many users prefer to "demand" even more options instead of organizing their files in some "preferred" way MP could suggest. I had to check the code as well to understand how it worked in detail

Thanks for clearing it up for me!!!
