[SOLVED][Eden] Media Info doesn't display Video Codec

xbmc-user · 2012-04-15 04:02

I understand, in Eden Video Info and OSD is pretty similar and I'm using "I" key to bring in Video Info screen. The screen shot I posted is for Video Info and not OSD.

I understand. In Eden Video Info and OSD screen looks pretty similar with a minor change. Screenshot I've posted is of Video Info ("i" key) and Video Codec is not seen.

Update: Ignore this 2nd post as it's a double post.

I installed Eden on another computer and I don't see Video Codec in Info on this PC as well! I'm not sure how come other folks are seeing it.

Some pointers to fix/debug this will be really appreciated. Fixing this will help me migrate my HTPC to Eden from Dharma to take advantage of Eden.

TIA!

No it's not, it's the OSD.

As I said before the codec is only displayed on the Video Info Screen -

and not the OSD -

Hmm. Thanks for the reply. I'm not using scrapper or Library mode, but the File mode. I'm using "i" key to bring up the screen that I've posted (just like how I did in Dharma). Regardless of whatever that screen is called, it has changed between Dharma and Eden! If it's called OSD, be it. Is there a way to fix it?

BTW, how am I suppose to get the Video Info screen that you have shown? I think Video Info screen that you posted is applicable to Library mode.

Thanks for your patience and help!

You'll have to ask in the Confluence forum.

Looked around a lot in various .xml files in XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\720p directory. Found out that I need to tweak VideoFullScreen.xml.

Changed "max" in first line. From

Code:

<control type="label" id="1">

     <width min="10" max="710">auto</width>

     <height>30</height>

     <font>font30</font>

     <align>left</align>

     <aligny>center</aligny>

     <label>$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title]</label>

     <textcolor>orange</textcolor>

     <scroll>true</scroll>

</control>

to

Code:

<control type="label" id="1">

     <width min="10" max="620">auto</width>

     <height>30</height>

     <font>font30</font>

     <align>left</align>

     <aligny>center</aligny>

     <label>$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title]</label>

     <textcolor>orange</textcolor>

     <scroll>true</scroll>

</control>

And added following section after "Video Resolution Image" "control" section:

Code:

<control type="image" id="1">

     <description>Video Codec Image</description>

     <width>85</width>

     <height>35</height>

     <aspectratio align="center">keep</aspectratio>

     <texture>$INFO[VideoPlayer.VideoCodec,flagging/video/,.png]</texture>

</control>

I think this is not perfect and may need tweak for DivX codec. I think in Dharma this display was controlled through DialogVideoFullScreen.xml and has a tweak for DivX.

I'll see if this can become a part of Eden source base!

Thanks everyone!

I'll tell you why I removed it. Basically the average user couldn't care what codec a video is in, they only really care if its HD or SD also the reason why the audio one is there still is because people like to know if they are playing DTS, DTS-HD, Dolby Digitial, and so on or just plain stereo really I should probably change it so only the HD audio codecs show

Hi Jezz_X,

I really appreciate your response. I agree with your view point and respect that. My humble request is to not touch Audio part and may be put back video codec as well! Let average user ignore it! But, folks like me who have been using XBMC for long and love it should not be deprived Smile

Thanks!
