High-Definition Video Flagging (library filtering/sorting & skin thumbnails overlay)?

if (upscale == SOFTWARE_UPSCALING_SD_CONTENT && (m_iSourceHeight >= 720 || m_iSourceWidth >= 1280))

Thus, it is considered SD if height < 720 and width < 1280. If either height >= 720 or width >= 1280 then it will be considered HD.

In your particular example of 960x544, that would be SD. If you actually meant 1280x544 (i.e. a 2.35:1 aspect) then that would be HD.

As another example here are more mockups for how HDTV resolution tags could possibly look in the TV-Show episode information:





Note! These are only mockups for the AEON skin by djh_ (just as an example how this could be used in the future).

I would really love to see this in XBMC =)

I think it shouldn't be parsed from file/dirname, proper method should be an inital scan like Gamester17 suggusted, with an alternative to get data from external nfo.

Will the future Aeon skin allow selection of either SD or HD versions if both are available on disk?

That has nothing to do with the AEON skin, it would have to be a new XBMC library filtering feature.

Ah, I mis-interpreted your reference to Aeon in your previous post.

Just eager for this feature to be in XBMC, it would round things of nicely for me.

Another vote for this feature to be implemented...

+1, especially if I could get HD recordings off DVBT via Myth TV added to the TV show library.

Hi everybody,

With the same idea, can we imagine logo for language and subtitle ?

It will be very useful for non-english users.

if the time it takes to query the info from the file during a scan is a concern, it could be done that this information is only available after the item has been played. im pretty sure this is what's done for subtitles.
