ViewModeSwitcher plugin (Version 0.3) (61 Viewers)

Configure VideoModeSwitcher independent

Hello Lkuech,

I installed and tested your plugin and it works in general, but there is one point I cannot achieve:

I have implemented two rules as you described: 4:3 and 16:9. I have entered the resolution in the rules which
are displayed in the log file of Mediaportal: (768 x 576 and 544 x 576 for example comedy central or Tele5)

The problem I have is that the plugin seems to check only the resolution of the TV-Signal and switches to the
defined videomode. On some broadcasts there is a letterbox and on some there is no letterbox.
But VideoModeSwitcher seems not to care about that.

My goal is to achieve that the reglime does the following:

Example:

There is a 768 x 576 (16:9) Signal on a TV-Channel. So the Switcher should switch to "Strech".

THEN IF there is a letterbox detected on a 768 x 576 (16:9) Signal, the Switcher should switch to "Zoom" Mode.

Something like this:

1) Check the resolution:

2) IF Resolution = 544 x 576 THEN Switch to "Strech" Mode

AFTER THAT:

3) IF Letterbox = true THEN Switch to "Zoom" Mode.

4) If Letterbox = false THEN Switch to "Strech" Mode again.

At the moment I cannot see any option to differentiate between the detected Resolution and the detected letterbox.

I think an update is needed for 1.0.0.1. If you use https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...k-share-monitoring-new-schedule-option-48181/ you will see what I mean.

Hi lkuech

As Smartstretch is being incorporated into MP, would it be possible to add this to the choices of aspect resolution available.

Cheers

Hi gemx, that was quick

Now for the bad news, everytime i change the rules to even "normal" for 16:9 aspect, the plugin changes it to stretch

Any idea, will post my config backup file if that may help you see what wrong.

Funny.. . that was my problem before I used this one. This one works for me!!! Are you using 1.0.0.1?

Are you using 1.0.0.1?

no MP1.0.0.0, just the core.dll from this post https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/350529-post115.html

So that may well be my problem, trying to not update at the moment, as just too busy to have to put things right if they go wrong.

Please test this one.

I did some work on this plugin (code cleanup) on top of introducing "Smart stretch"

EDIT: Updated again the code so that it doesn't rely anymore on hardcoded name for zoom type but query MP to get them. Will work with all version of MP until MediaPortal.xml keys are unchanged

EDIT2: The Team decided to change the key in MediaPortal.xml to be congruent. So again an update to this great plugin to handle the new key allowarnonlinear

Cheers chemelli, that did it, as you said it must have been the naming conventions did not match my setup
