When looking up movie information in MP (IMDB option), MP automatically creates a folder.jpg from the downloaded coverart. This does not occur when looking up movie information through the MP configuration btw.
The created folder.jpg is low on quality where as it used to be high in quality. I don't know from which SVN it doesnt work anymore.
bug description:
1. start mediaportal
2. go to MyMovies
3. set movie view to share!!!
4. go to a Movie folder without coverart
5. click right mousebutton and choose IMDB from menu
6. let it download movie info and pick a coverart
7. go back with ESCAPE
8. see that the folder coverart is a low quality image where as the IMDB screen showed a high quality image
9. check the movie folder in explorer. The folder.jpg is just a couple KB in size and small in resolution
Fix:
I've dusted off some coding skills (LOL) and downloaded the sourcecode.
The code handling this is located in GUIVideoInfo.cs. The code does a ConvertToLargeCoverArt from the normal coverImageArt which is (I think) not needed to perform as the good quality coverart is also downloaded and saved in the corresponding Thumb folder.
I changed the code so that it can use both normal coverImageArt and largeCoverImageArt where the largeCoverImageArt has priority.
Now it saves a folder.jpg based on the better quality coverart and if not present it uses the lower quality based one.
I only have tested it to see if it creates the high quality coverart which it does. Couldnt check what happens when the largeCoverArt isnt available but it should then work with the normal coverArt. Hoping to see this fixed with my adjustments or in another way (as long as it gets fixed
).
attachments:
I've attached a pre-build WindowsPlugins.dll (for easy testing) and the editted GUIVideoInfo.cs
EDIT/UPDATE! New WindowsPlugin.dll added compiled against SVN Revision:17388 (SVN-Snapshot: 02-14-2008 05-04h - Revision:17388)
Just replace or rename the old WindowsPlugin.dll with the new one in the archive.
GUIVideoInfo.zip contains the source code for the change!
