Auto-generated thumbs - MacGyver - 2011-02-20
Is there a conditional that knows the difference between an "auto-generated" thumb, and an thumb that came from a filename.tbn, folder.jpg, or folder.tbn (user generated or scraped, just not pulled from a screengrab)?
As in:
<visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Thumb)</visible>
So that normal thumbs (filename.tbn) that are DVD case shape in aspect ratio, can be differentiated from "auto-generated" thumbs that are obviously 4:3 or 16:9 when created by XBMC from basically a screenshot of the media file.
I would like to be able to stretch proper thumbs to the DVD case aspect ratio, but I can't figure out a way to keep the "auto-generated" thumbs from getting squished into the same aspect ratio.
I checked the wiki, and tried every image type there, nothing.
I searched the forums, but it is not an easily search-able question.
Any ideas?

you should be able to do a substring() on the image filename.
auto-generated thumbs all have 'auto-' in their filename.
<visible>SubString(ListItem.Icon,auto)</visible>

Worked perfectly, where did you learn that they have auto- in their names from?
Thank you, by the way.

i had a few good looks at the recently added script in the past,
and they use this code:
Code:
# if thumb does not exist use an auto generated thumb path
if ( not os.path.isfile( xbmc.translatePath( thumb ) ) ):
thumb = "special://profile/Thumbnails/Video/%s/[b]auto-[/b]%s" % ( thumb_cache[ 0 ], thumb_cache, )
