Intelligent Frame Correction - PlugIn (1 Viewer)

[fmulders]

The TV Edge Crop settings arn't stored in the ifc xml file, they are stored in the mediaportal.xml, cause you can set the crop settings within mp (watch tv->menu-> crop settings), so have a look in the mediaportal.xml please and tell me whether they are stored or not. The graphic issue is really strange, the same is already posted in this thread, mybe an update of the .Net framework could help.

Oke,... found the setting in mediaportal.xml (there is also a file called mediaportal.xml.bak)
I think it has something to do with that. I see that the ifc setup indeed chances the xml file from mediaportal.
But if you close the mediaportal configuration tool,...the settings are revered back to what was set in the mediaportal.xml.bak file!
I did not see this before you build in the import/export function.

The Graphic issue is not solved by the update of .Net framework. (I was already on the latest version, clean install 2 day's old!)

But the tool is working for me, thanks again for your efford.

Very curious to know what the problem is, have this since the beginning of ifc

Holy crap, this shouldn't never happen, I'll have a very close look at this, thanks for the logs, could you please attach the hole file on this thread, thank you.

For example, some custom presets that we can recall with a shortcut that store some crop and zoom values, without searching for black bars, etc.
[zoom 1]
crop left=10
crop right=10
crop bottom=15
crop top=15
zoom horizontal=1,2
zoom vertical=1,2
[zoom 2]
and so on
Maybe this is a start.

Ok now i understand, but I'm not sure to code custom zoom modes without changing the MP code.

Did you press the OK button of MP Configuration (ifc-> save and close->MP Config->OK), then should MP Config save all settings and try to delete the mediaportal.xml.bak.

De-install the package with the MediaPortal Extention Installer you can find it in the Team Mediaportal / Mediaportal Start menu.
Don't know why the developers don't fix this issue or get rit of the de-install option in the configuration as it does not work for any package.

I tried to de-install via that and it says no de-installation file found. I have also tried re-installing, which it does ok but the program just doesnt work for me. In MP config / plugins it is not present. When MP is running it is not shown as an installed plugin. The only evidence of it existing on my system is in MP config / install tab.

the plug-in should exists in the mp installation folder/plugins/process if you can't install it right I'll attach the two needed files here.

Yes please I think I am a file short for some reason. I just don't seem to be able to get this going at all.

Yes, I closed MP configuration by the "OK" button.
In fact then the wrong settings are written back. When I first close ifc settings by save and close, and re-open them again I see the settings in ifc are saved.
After I close MP configuration the settings are gone again.

With all those questions, you are telling me you can not reproduce the problem?
It is strange because I am running on a fresh XP-pro SP3 system with all updates installed before MP was installed.
The only thing that I can think off is the fact that it is not an EN version but a NL version.
Can that be the problem?

Ok now i understand, but I'm not sure to code custom zoom modes without changing the MP code.

My idea was to have one or two sets of custom video/TV crop settings which could be used as extra 'video mode' settings.

e.g.

For a 720 x 576 source frame, setting video/TV cropping to left=36, right=36, top=29, bottom=29 is equivalent to a +10% zoom.

The difference is that in order to handle different frame sizes the 'crop' settings would have to be set in percentages, and then the IFC code would have to calculate the crop values (to pass on to MP ?) dynamically from the source frame size.

OK, I'll attach the two files when I'm home.

No that (the NL version) can't be the problem, and yes I can't reproduce this issue.

As I told you the "TV Edge Crop"-settings are stored in the mediaportal.xml. You said self that if you close and re-open the ifc-config then all is fine, only after restart of mp config, then the "TV Edge Crop"-settings are gone.

Try the following:
First, try to delete the mediaportal.xml.bak file and try to save again.
Second, save all, close mp-config, start to watch tv, open the menu -> crop settings, check the values, if there are only zero's (or the default values 14?) in-there, set all to one's, close mp and open the ifc-config. And then tell me what happens.

good luck

With only crop settings that should be possible, but the real zoom modes work different.
A real zoom mode recalculate the scene, when you only cut-off the sides this isn't a new zoom mode. example is the non linear view mode it separate the scene in 10 pieces in the middle the scene isn't stretched so much than on the sides.

But short cuts with predefined crop settings and a view mode that mp provide should be possible.
But at the moment I want to fix all known bugs, and then I think about to redesign IFC complete, cause so much changes to the first version wasn't planned by me, and the code gets to complicated with all your wishes

Hope you understand me

Very curious to know what the problem is, have this since the beginning of ifc

Holy crap, this shouldn't never happen, I'll have a very close look at this, thanks for the logs, could you please attach the hole file on this thread, thank you.

Martin,

Here it is, thanks for all your affords. By the way....IFC is working fine to replace Viewmodeswitcher at the moment, the candy on the cake would be to get these both issues sorted out. Then IFC is of more value.
Please explain what is happening.

Yes, fully understood - fixing the bugs first is the right thing to do - for all your work so far

You're certainly right.
We can only thank you for your work.
Hope you fill find time to improve IFC with our suggestions.
Thanks,

forget all what I wrote, I found the bug.
