Intelligent Frame Correction - PlugIn (1 Viewer)

.: wiki :.

Hello Guys,

i want to share my plugin with you.

The aim of this plugin is, to provide the best possible aspect ratio and view mode with a minimum of effort.

Features:

+ automated black bar scanner
+ automated view mode selector
+ one click config (for beginner)
+ almost fully customizable (for advanced user)
+ supported TV ratios: 4:3, 16:9 (with 4:3 Resolution too), 21:9

TODO:

[√] implement the manual control
[ ] clean source code
[ ] optimize/fine tuning tv ratio (4:3/21:9), with the community
[ ] add a alternative black bar detection (waiting of feedback from the community)
[√] explain the advanced settings
[√] implement a switch to disable/enable the black bar scanner
[√] implement a switch to disable/enable the black bar scanner for HD content
[√] implement the right/left cropping for 16:9 ratio with 4:3 content

Actually the plugin is optimized for the tv aspect ratio 16:9, but it supports the ratios 4:3 and 21:9 too.

Have fun and happy testing

For MP1.2.0 you need files from here as well as installing 2.0.2

sounds interesting,


but what is the difference betwen your plugin and the viewmodeswitcher ? https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/viewmodeswitcher-plugin-version-0-3-a-21365/


on the first sight your plugin seems to be much more userfriendly

 

[Marvman]

Hi Monchi,

the differrence is I.F.C. crops black bars and set the video mode if necessary. (As far as i know, videomodeswitcher sets only the video mode)

regards and good night

Nope, videomodeswitcher crops blackbars too( named letterbox detection in it).
But ill try your realisation of that nice feature.
And thx for your work

Hi Marvman,

Can your plugin deal with HD emissions with 4:3 content? Sometime the HD (nederland 1,2 and 3) channels in the netherlands uses HD (1080; H264) but send some old videos in 4:3 format. THis results in black bars at the side of the screen. Would it be possible to cut these off and apply non-linear stretch?


thanks,

Pascal

This did not work with MP 1.1.

MP crashed until I turn TV on at every time :-(

Is it possible to disable the black-bar detection ? (I'd like to just use the plugin for view mode switching and edge cropping)

Really, i did't play much with VMS, i enabled the letterbox detection and nothing happend, excepts that VMS detect the letterbox and switched to another view mode.

I think i know what do you mean, we have such channel too, but when you crop the complete huge side bars, isn't the picture extremely stretched although wit the non-linear view mode, i'll put that on my list and check that.

Ok, i did't test tv with the latest MP Version only the last stable 1.0.2, what i tested wit the latest svn is video's and dvd's
Can you switch in the MP Config the infomation level to "debug" and reproduce the exception again?

Is it possible to disable the black-bar detection ? (I'd like to just use the plugin for view mode switching and edge cropping)

Tony

should be possible, i'll put that on my list

guys for feedback.

Hi,

your plugin works great. Much better than VMS, which did work correctly on my machines.
I would like to no more about the settting. Can we have da docu?
For example the edge crop on the Advanced Settings page is located on the Config and Screen Tab, but what is the difference between both edge crop settings? If i set something in the Screen tab it doesn't change the edge crop setting in the Config tab, so i assume that this settings have a different meaning (or just a coding mistake .

Is the source in the plugins svn ?

Yeah i will update the thread or write docu, each edge crop is different (it is no mistake ), the source code isn't in the svn, before i upload i will clean the code debug infos etc. this is the first public version. Just to let you guys know that is something new on the plugin market . Depending on the feedback i'll release more public versions.
