[REQUEST] Blu-ray Disc Poster View?

Why would this be an Alaska related issue?

IMHO this would be more applicable as a plugin or script for XBMC as it would be beneficial to any skin used...

That`s looks great. I create a little mod at Home with this covers for alaska.

Looks great guys!

I like the darker blue version more

But, imo, we really need a way to automate this, for it to end up as an option in Alaska, at some point.

You aren't kidding. I've started working on all my "posters" downloading high rez copies of the bluray covers, and then putting them into these templates...it's gonna take a while as I've got 144 movies to do, but it actually looks really good. When I finish doing all my covers, I'll upload a zip for anyone interested in getting the same thing.

heres a preview:


all the covers are super high res, from 9covers.com I'm resizing them to fit the frames.

would this not be better if it worked from the source flag rather than the resolution, so that there could be a seperate image for Blu ray and HD DVD?

I am going to start by designing an SD template and perfecting my other templates. Those anyone have any suggestions?

I would make the border on the right side of the "box" appear. Otherwise it looks like the cover was pasted over the box.

The mockup of the thread starter and the two examples on deviantArt have a border as well (e.g. http://alex-isa.deviantart.com/art/Blu-r...-105653507)

I'm going to test it out, here is a very quick mock, I'll probably make the border bigger. main thing is to stick with xbmc default poster size and be consistent with the other source templates

f*ck... let me know quick if you plan on modifying the template, lol, as I've done about 15 covers so far...don't want to have to go through all 147 films again lol.

I kinda like the updated template better, but let me know when you have a working format you like. if it's not that hard, you might want to try coming up with a photoshop action to automate creating these box images If not, perhaps I'll try doing it.

the problem with the deviant art sample is that the source is too low resolution. I think i disagree with your opinion...yes it does sorta look layered over, but it also looks more like the image was "wrapped" around the box... at least to me it does..looks maybe 65% real
