MBSki 1114 Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 The resolution media info in CoverArt is very hard to see some of the time (Example: 12 Dates of Christmas). Could it be adjusted to include it's own background or something else so it's more obvious? Also, why don't 480p movies have a tag for resolution (Example: 28 Days Later)?
GrimReaper 4739 Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 You can use custom overlays to increase visibility (I do). Sadly, no 480p indicator. 1 1
Luke 42077 Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Quote Also, why don't 480p movies have a tag for resolution (Example: 28 Days Later)? I think historically this feature was built to allow easy identification of hd content, and nobody really cared to be informed of SD resolution.

Yep, understand. But that was then, and this is now and with the variety of different resolutions that we have now it would be nice to have a tag for all of them. 1

Yeah, agreed, I would surely appreciate it to distinguish some of the dated stuff (as nowdays that is the minority, as majority IS some flavor of HD). 1

The thinking was that the main treatment would indicate this (e.g. DVD vs. BD).

The thinking was that the main treatment would indicate this (e.g. DVD vs. BD). None, I use Plain with resolution badges, as I don't fancy box outline. Therefore those 480p's are breaking the consistency and presentation: with DVD treatment they are like finger-poke in the eye, without it they are badge-less. Edit: To clarify, you're already familiar with my somewhat manic OCD, and seeing: badge-badge-badge-NO badge-badge-badge triggers me quite a bit (wish that was the only thing that does ).

Yep. As @ebr stated, if you opt for cover treatment, you'll have DVD covers on that SD content (but badge-less), whereas HD content will get BD covers and badge. If, like me, you don't opt for cover treatment - you get nothing on SD. Edited October 18, 2021 by GrimReaper Typo
ebr 16169 Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 I meant that explains why the cover treatment itself isn't giving him that information. If you use any of the "normal" treatments, they basically tell you the resolution as well.

Yep true but what he really wants is a default "SD" type image to use for anything DVD class so that he has consistency. 1

To me the issue is the lack of a badge on 480p content when everything else has a badge. So I'd like to see the 480p just like I can see a badge for all other resolutions.

MBSki 1114 Posted October 18, 2021 Author Posted October 18, 2021 One of my other annoyances is that 720p and 1080p content get the same cover. At least the badges are there to distinguish, but I've never heard of a 720p Blu-ray. Was there ever a disc that delivered 720p?

Right, that's what I was looking for. Just some acknowledgement that it could be added in the future. Do I need to add this as a feature request?

Carlo 4560 Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 Yes some Blue-rays are only 720p and not 1080p. Typically only TV Shows. Heroes is a good example.
