Luke 42077 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Team, With the next server release we will have our own set of built-in studio images (yes, your custom ones will still override). At the moment we only have a small selection. Please see the attached screenshot. We are looking for 16*9 studio images similar to what see here. If you can contribute, please post them. Thanks. 5
Tanamur 53 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Hi @@Luke - I am not sure if you utilize this now but Logopedia has a wealth if high quality images for studios. Here is the section on Television channels, stations and networks http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Television_channels,_stations_and_networks?sort=alphabetical&display=exhibition Check out the new Golf Channel logo!
Luke 42077 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks. We're looking for people who can do the legwork of putting them into studio folders as a thumb.jpg.
Tanamur 53 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks. We're looking for people who can do the legwork of putting them into studio folders as a thumb.jpg. I am happy to help. My knowledge of graphic editing is limited (clear art creation, aspect ratio, etc.) but I can certainly help create folders and place the images in them. Point me in the right direction
Genprelate 4 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 If i can get a list of what's been done and what has not i can get started on as many as possible as soon as possible

Tanamur 53 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks! The existing images are here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser.Resources/tree/master/images/imagesbyname/studios Ok, so let me make sure I have the specs/idea right: 16:9 = 1.776666666666667 aspect ratio - fixed 1066 pixels (width) x 600 pixels (height) @ 72 dpi - preferred size given the fixed aspect ratio new "metro" flat look with no beveled or 3D edges seems to be in fashion New Look Old Look Have I got it? Thanks, Tanamur

Just so that we can get the most up to date version of the logos if we are having to make them. 1
JHawk111 4 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I love that we are adding these images to the core product for a better out of box experience. Thanks. And here is my first contribution. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=79BE69E85495F843!28963&authkey=!AH1WL4ugn7zxuGU&ithint=folder%2c Including: BBC Three PBS UPN Also, I see that you have the old SciFi logo already, but it is filed under SiFi 3
Brendon 119 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I guess you just got me on board as well, the last release made my studio icons look horrid now, they all seem to be stretching and low-quality ones, well you know...
Brendon 119 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 i can edjumacate myself on github luke, shoudn't be an issue.

Luke 42077 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 thanks. mb server supports png, i just hard-coded the downloader to only look for jpg's in github. i suppose i could improve it for the next release but for now they have to be jpg. 1
Delphi 83 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 @@Luke should studiothumbs.txt stay in alphabetical order or should we put our added studios at the bottom of the file?
Luke 42077 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 technically it doesn't matter but might as well stay alphabetical since we have it that way 1
Luke 42077 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 you need to install two apps now. mysisgit (3rd link): https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list tortoise git: https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/wiki/Download?tm=2
yardameus 221 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 If anyone wants to throw a list on here of images to be made, I'd be happy to do so. I could just upload them here for someone to add to their fork on github. I just don't want to dedicate time to an image that hasn't made it onto github, but is done. Or is it better for me just to go to the github list? 1
yardameus 221 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 How obscure of a studio is too obscure? Or is there no limit?
