CoverArt 4K or UHD

[browned 33]

Looking through my covers and the 4K movies I have with resolutions of 2160p seem to return 1080 for the media info.

 

I also noticed in the web browser that the 4K movies are listed as HD, is there no UHD or 4KHD option available?

 

 

Thanks

where in the web browser do you see HD, or is that a cover art thing?

 

yes we certainly should add 4K support to the plugin.

If I browse into a movie, I get the itemdetails.html page with the coverart, movie name

 

Below that release date (year), run time, Content rating, HD, star rating, rotten tomato's rating.

Can someone make me a 4K icon that looks just like this one?

Thanks.  I think I like the "4K" better than 2160 (even if it is incorrect).  What about UHD?  Do we think that would be better?

I think 4k is fine, that's what the market is using and we should use that.

UHD would be better. Are you going to call HD now 1k? The market uses UHD to define consumer television, or rather Ultra HD.

 

In the consumer electronics market companies had previously only used the term 4K at the 2012 CES but that had changed to Ultra HD during the 2013 CES. The Ultra HD term is an umbrella term that was selected by the Consumer Electronics Association after extensive consumer research.

I don't want to put a spanner in the works but....

Perhaps 4K UHD, I am not sure there will be a new name for 8K UHD so both these are covered using 4K/8K UHD.

All I can imagine is an engineer explaining to marketing and sales why 4k is useless in most consumer applications while they nod understandingly.  At the end of the presentation the marketing guys say, "So we should double the amount of those 'Ks', that'll do it!"

I was thinking the same thing - given the upcoming 8k "revolution" avoid UHD tag for 4k - although should we then use 2k for 1080p if we use 4k for 2160?

Sharp has been selling 8K TV's since October. Japan is testing 8K TV broadcasting. It won't be long till 8K is the new 4K, and 4K is the what 720p was to Full HD. hmm I lost myself there. Anyway you get what I mean?

UHD is used in other apps, eg Amazon and Netflix..I would go for that as its already become a standard.

This is in 4.0.9.8.

 

You will have to refresh with "replace all images" or change the image in some other way to get existing ones to re-generate.
