How about aspect ratios > 1.85. Any idea how it could be connected to 16:9 and 4:3 logos which are named "widescreen" and "fullscreen"?
Most of my movies have 2.388 or something in this region, which is close mut not exactly equal to 16:9

Next issue: audio formats.

select distinct audioencoding from m_videoitem order by 1

gives me:

AAC LC
AAC LC, AC3
AC3
AC3, DTS
AC3, MP3
AC3, Vorbis
DTS
DTS, AC3
MP2
MP3
MPEG-1 Audio layer 2
MPEG-1 Audio layer 2, AC3
MPEG-1 Audio layer 2, AC3, AC3+

Here we need more work, i.e. adding a kind of string splitter converter. Need to check what would work best for those cases.

Just to be sure, 3 listed items mean there were 3 audio tracks, right?

I could convince my wife to work a bit. Since the new apartment has 2 walk-in closets for about 1000 shoes, I had better arguments

Yes, audio encoding is stored as concatenated string list of single tracks, which we now can split by the new converter into a list of strings (like audio language).

Btw, the reason for putting audio languages into a m-n relation was, that we can filter by language in library. For audio encoding this is not important, so a single string was preferred.

Hi.

If I'm right it means, there are at least 3 audio tracks but could be more. As example If there are 5 tracks with AC3 (e.g. en, de, fr, it, es) and 1 track with DTS (en) you will get "AC3, DTS" or if the DTS track is the first one "DTS, AC3". That's what I would expect this to be. In my list there is no "AC3, AC3" but I'm really sure I have some movies with two different AC3 tracks in different languages (de , en).

Oh yes you are right. Just checked this and we only store distinct encoding types:

Hmm, thats not so good, because then my idea does not work to correlate language, bitrate and codec in a horizontal row.
Personally I think it's not so informative, if there are 3 codecs listed up and the user doesnt even know to which track the DTS audio belongs ... but to change this will take too much effort I guess. I'll see how the design can be with this new info.

By the way... @ge2301 can you estimate when the AppLauncer skin files are ready? As I've done an installer for MPPhotoSlideshow2 today the only working plugin for SR15 that has no finished package is AppLauncher. As soon as this is finished I want to talk with @high for uploading them to the Repo again...

Was no big deal to write this installer in AutoIt, only 5 lines of code. I think I can build an universal MP2 plugin installer in little time if this is wanted.

 

[ge2301]

@ge2301: I already added an example ListViewStyle for AudioEncodings, can you try to add it in a good way to CP screen?

Done, I'll push in a few minutes.

I tries several movies and it seems to work. I just realized, that there is no bitrate for some movies. In order to not have only a "kbps", I'd like to put a IsVisible.
Can this property be merged with something like "HasValue" or "!IsEmpty"?

I could not change the group behaviour The groups and items are two seperate lists, that are not connected. So the Item does not know in which list it is.

There are 2 possibilities:
1) I remove the group info in footer
2) @morpheus_xx swings his magic staff

Also No. 2 would be nice, I think No 1. is the more realistic solution for now...

Go for No1. I would say. It's already enough work to do with the SR15, so we should not add too much extra work.
