INFO labels for slideshows and picture lists are incomplete - sfontes - 2013-03-09 The jpeg parsing code in XBMC can return a bunch of metadata from the picture file. Not all of this data is exposed as INFO variables for skin and addon developers to use. I made some tables below to show the current state of the metadata available as $INFO variables to skin and addon developers. The first 18 are available for slideshows and in lists. The next 30 are only available when the picture is shown in a slideshow. I don't know what a lot of them mean, but if someone would want to see them overlaid on a slideshow, they might also want to see them when the picture is shown on its own in a list. I would like to make these 30 available as ListItem.PictureXxx labels. The next 3 (ImageType, SubLocation, TimeCreated) are not available at all. I would like to make these 3 available as slideshow.xxx and ListItem.PictureXxx labels. I can not find any documentation on the meaning of ImageType or TimeCreated. I use Sublocation in my pictures all the time. The last 10 I don't think need to be exposed. Is there a reason why these labels are not available, or is it just that no one has gotten around to it? If there is no reason not to, I will add the new labels into the code and update the wiki. I'll also fix the spelling of slideshow.aperture and slideshow.headline.

Can one of the developers take a look? https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/2494 Thanks |
