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

Why not just make a dolby digital icon, dts icon, and then a 5.1 icon and a 7.1 icon and have them butt up to each other? The performance overhead of having 4 items with scripted conditional visibility is an order of magnitude higher than having 2 items based on single conditions. In addition, the "miss ratio" where a texture has to be replaced with another is higher.

I use icons that are like this. It works 100% perfect on my library of 980 videos. I even set a labels for channels and codec on the screen to test it out.

I think that he means that it is easier and faster to do it this way:

Code:

<control type="image">

<texture>$INFO[ListItem.AudioCodec,prefix,.png]</texture>

</control type="image">

<control type="image">

<texture>$INFO[ListItem.AudioChannels,prefix,.png]</texture>

</control type="image">

Thanks CapnBry this is great. I'm playing with the mediastream skin to show the info and as far as I chacked, it's working great.

Yup that's exactly what I mean. Just load the texture from a variable rather than having one texture for each with conditional visibility.

freezy: capnbry.net was up last night when I posted that (posted remotely) and it seems to be up now. If it still doesn't work for you PM me or hit me on #xbmc and I we can work out another way to get it to you.

I see what you are saying. That is the way that I did it for video resolution, but I went with the other way since I had the icons for channels and codec already. I am working on a set pf seperate icons now to switch over. Thanks again for everything and the hard work on this.

Okay tried again and it worked. Weird. Anyway, here's the latest Windows build with patch v8. It's only 25megs, no idea why and I can't really test it because I'm not at home now. If anyone could confirm if it's working, that would be nice.

EDIT1: D'oh somehow bloody megaupload forwards me to the old upload when I upload the new file. WTF. Looking for another hoster...
EDIT2: Try mediafire.com.

What about checking the FourCC, couldn't that be done?

Not that I really care if a movie is in DivX or XviD, they're both MPEG4 and XBMC plays both... But someone else might like it.

I found this logo through Google Images which seems kinda perfect if only the mpeg4 information is available:

I had thought about using the FOURCC information but opted to reduce the cardinality of the result set. There are a lot more FOURCCs than there are decoders so I concluded that whittling it down base types would be more useful.
