XMLTV several image formats


marmei

Recommended Posts

Is it possible that Emby displays the image in the correct format in the grid?
In my XMLTV file, several image formats are included (2x3, 3x4, 4x3, 16x9)
 
On the Apple TV (Emby Beta) the different image formats are used.

Data comes from Schedules Direct

I'm sorry, the picture is the wrong way around  :wacko:

i will add support for multiple image types. we can examine the width/height of each and assign them to the various image types - poster, thumb, etc. the apps will then utilize them. thanks.

Great, that would have been my suggestion.

@@Luke, just want to verify this has been incorporated at least in the beta. I've added code to EPG123 to have all aspect ratio images included in the XMLTV file (2x3, 3x2, 3x4, 16x9, ?). It looks like the beta server is selecting the correct format, but I just want to make sure before I finalize.

I can spit out an XMLTV file for you if you want. Just let me know what lineup and how many days you want.

I’ve been meaning to post on this topic. I’m using epg123 to pull my data down from schedules direct and then using it in xteve before it gets to emby but I’m having trouble working out which image size to use. Either causes issues one way or the other

i guess he means if there are different image formats and zoom instead taking the correct format.

 

sample

 

in xteve u can specify wich format to take (icon src) or use all

 

sample from xml

 

format limited to 2x3

as you see there are different formats available, question is, is emby looking therefore and taking the proper one meanwhile or just catch the 1st hit and zoom to fit your window ?

 

in my server it looks ok to me after a few clicks, no idea if you have added the support yet ?

yes exactly that.

 

In epg123 it seems the default is for it to obtain images in 4x3 format or you can also request 2x3. both of these work but its an either or. emby seems to need the 2x3 images for some screens and 4x3 for others so its impossible to have one setting that satisfies both requirements. and the artwork in emby is often zoomed as a result

Actually you could only have one image type if you wanted, and emby should adapt to it. Can you show screenshots of where this isn't happening? Thanks.

I found one small issue so I'm adding a fix for that before the upcoming 4.0 release. Can any of you provide some screenshot examples of how we're looking right now? 

 

Ideally, in order to verify this works, you should be able to browse to the list screens that let you pick your image style and then select either Primary or Thumb.

 

So for example, from the Live TV suggestions tab, click the On Now heading. Then on the next screen, click the 3-dot button. Thanks.

Screenshots of 3.5.3 or the beta 4.0? and an XMLTV with a single image with/without dimension, or an XMLTV with multiple images with dimension?

Actually since you're adding sizes, we can put those in the database directly and avoid having to scan the images on the fly later. That is something i added for the gracenote data but never got to giving that to xmltv.

I would say some success... but it didn't get all of them. It got some of the 4x3 images when I went to thumb, but didn't do them all. The first one is Jimmy Kimmel Live! that had the 4 images below in the XMLTV file. Were the thumbs to be 4x3 or 16x9?

Also, I just took a look at how it presents on SHIELD, and the images you see for the Thumbs view, are being zoomed in to fill a 16x9 frame (except for movies which only have a single 2x3 image).

here is a screenshot from the web client. to me the pic's circled in red seem squashed. the pic's circled in blue appear wrongly on the Android TV home screen. it seems like emby has taken a 4x3 zoomed crop of the 2x3 image

How does the web app compare?

I didn't look at all of them, but the images that were selected to display for image type of Thumbs, are what were used for display on the SHIELD. Those images were then zoomed to fill the 16x9 frame width. Basically what is shown on SHIELD agrees with what is displayed on the web app for thumbs.

Can you shut down the server, replace this file in your installation, and then start up and refresh the guide? Please let me know if anything changes after that. thanks.
