Is there a key to what the metadata icons mean? I can figure most of them but wanted to see a list to be sure.

here's a list of available icons:
- resolution (480p, 720p, 1080p...) - aspect-ratio (4:3, 1.85:1, 16:9...) - videocodec (divx, xvid, h.264, mpeg....) - audiocodec (mpeg, mp3, dolby, dts...) - source (DVD, Blu-Ray, HDTV....) - rating (Rated R, etc...) - subtitle available (CC) - studio (film studio company logo) did i miss any?... in case you need clarification on one or more icons, just post a screenshot. :-) Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

In my case, Im on XBOX platform, I have labelled my files as: moviename - sddvd.xvid.avi moviename - hdtv.xvid.avi In Transperancy!, if you enable extract metadata through settings it will take a look at the file name and place the proper tags from the file name as in my above example. In my case, I get all proper tags except for studio or the film rating. I still am trying to figure out how to get the studio tags to be displayed (I believe in a nfo with the file but have yet to see one created). |

Mighty cool. yeah, i don't have any tags in my filenames either and i didn't want to rename everything, so i figured out a way to display them anyway....although not 100% accurate in all cases.
