Just did this mockup of something i would really like! Maybe others will to...

Kinda like the one I made for Aeon:

I'll probably port it eventually or something more like you suggested, but not until Hitcher is finished making the final list view I don't think.

The general problem with this is people have movies in sd too. Could be an interesting idea to have a combination of dvd and bluray/hddvd boxes that work like media flags. I like your mockup though it looks good.

I believe customising poster art is the best method

Well, you can approach this one of two ways:
1. Use EMM and manually get the covers
2. Some way thru code

Thought this was pretty interesting....Here's a code version:


My trick was to detect VideoResolution and if it was 720 to 1080 then it will show the bluray image. You can use that filename flag way also to detect when to use the image. This way just a quick proof of concept, I know the bluray image isn't perfect.

Here's what I did in case anyone wants to expand on it:

Viewtype Poster, from the flags you can tell this is from a git pull about 2-3 days ago

After Line 78

Quote:<control type="image" id="83">
<posx>1</posx>
<posy>123</posy>
<width>162</width>
<height>261</height>
<texture>$INFO[ListItem.VideoResolution,flags\bluray\,.png]</texture>
<visible>!Container.Content(Genres)</visible>
</control>

After Line 134

Quote:<control type="image" id="83">
<posx>-18</posx>
<posy>8</posy>
<width>356</width>
<height>502</height>
<texture>$INFO[ListItem.VideoResolution,flags\bluray\,.png]</texture>
<animation type="Focus" reversible="false">
<effect type="zoom" center="160,238" start="51" end="100" time="600" tween="back" easing="out" />
</animation>
<visible>!Container.Content(Genres)</visible>
</control>

HERE ARE THE IMAGES just put them so it's like "media\flags\bluray". Not sure if I dig it so I don't know if I'll take it any farther, just playing around.

Very nice, this is the best way of doing it. I think a lot of people would use it if it was made like that.

I was just looking at the same thing, got the psd from deviantart

Somebody has edit this http://alex-isa.deviantart.com/art/B...urce-105653507 ?
I mean png files ready for XBMC ?

There's a darker one available here: http://cgink.deviantart.com/art/Blu-Ray-Gift-86830900
But they are both quite small in my opinion: The whole image is 512x512 at least one third of the width isn't even used.
Would this work with the default poster sizes like 1000x1500? I just tested it with a few of my posters and I had to heavily cut off at the top and bottom (sometimes even cutting of the title text) to make it fit into the bluray case.

Hmm, I don't understand why people photoshopping things like this don't make them as large a resolution as possible, and can then scale them down for more specific use, it's just common sense.

These are the ones I designed with the cut off & default poster size in consideration. in the end I just started manually adding the poster work and saving them to the root of my movie folder, it's a little time consuming but the results are perfect compared to the results a script in a skin could produce

Why would this be an Alaska related issue?

IMHO this would be more applicable as a plugin or script for XBMC as it would be beneficial to any skin used...

That`s looks great. I create a little mod at Home with this covers for alaska.

Looks great guys!

I like the darker blue version more

But, imo, we really need a way to automate this, for it to end up as an option in Alaska, at some point.

You aren't kidding. I've started working on all my "posters" downloading high rez copies of the bluray covers, and then putting them into these templates...it's gonna take a while as I've got 144 movies to do, but it actually looks really good. When I finish doing all my covers, I'll upload a zip for anyone interested in getting the same thing.

heres a preview:


all the covers are super high res, from 9covers.com I'm resizing them to fit the frames.

would this not be better if it worked from the source flag rather than the resolution, so that there could be a seperate image for Blu ray and HD DVD?
