Store language(s) from MediaInfo (1 Viewer)

Good start @barneh !
Next task is to bring audiotracks and subtitle languages indication to GUI!

 

[barneh]

Edalex is there an issue id on that?

 

[Edalex]

Probably this https://code.google.com/p/mptvserie...Status Priority Stars Milestone Owner Summary
But I'm sure it was a patch somewhere but I don't remember where exactly.
I could mix it up with https://code.google.com/p/moving-pictures/issues/detail?id=547 honestly

 

[barneh]

One of the links are for Moving Pictures, and there is a patch. But a little outdated as I understand from the thread.

How do you think this function should work?
Separate language selection for audio - differ from Series language. Or should the audio language be the same as Series, if exists?

Looking at the issue 653, that involve parsing in the import... Then when the files are parsed, I don't see that isn't necessary to add the same files multiple times, so there maybe should be a DB field that contains a string like "en | cz | sk". And depending on the audio setting or the Series Language the player gets the right file.

Then there's the file(s) with multiple auto in the file. These files needs to be inspected with something like mediainfo....

 

[Edalex]

Hi. I expect to see EN, DE right next to audio codec icon in gui. Probably it needs to modify local_episodes db table as it holds mediainfo data for every file

 

[barneh]

An icon where the arrow are on the attached picture?
And if you got something like ten different audio versions of the same file. Then there should be ten different icons?

Have I understood you right?

 

[Edalex]

Yes the place is right. Currently if you have ten differrent versions of the same episode you will see them as separate items in list. But in case they have common mediainfo but different languages you cant differ them from each other. But if some language indication will be present in gui it could be simple.

In the issue 653 it talked about series like this:

• SeriesX.s01e01.English.avi
• SeriesX.s01e01.French.avi
• SeriesX.s01e01.German.avi
• etc.

Since I don't have any of this, how does the TV-Series plugin handle this today?
Do you have a screenshot to share?

I have played little around with the MediaInfo program, and many series don't have the language property some have, but mostly don't.
So the the best thing maybe is to parse the file name.... if language property is in it!

 

[Edalex]

I don't think filename parsing is right but Mediaportal itself is doing it during handling external audio files [emoji3] I think we should rely on mediainfo. If it has language data let it be shown in gui. If it doesn't have such data we dont show it. It's simple. My files have language code in mediainfo usually.

 

[barneh]

What about this?

In MediaInfo I get "English", but here (on the same file) I get just "en"...
Maybe there is a converter in MediaInfo...?!?
