MyFilms as problems with some "Pictures" in catalog/Pictures folder #304

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Download any of these movies
    2012 (2009) 
    500 Days of Summer.mkv 
    Apollo 18
    Bounty Hunter, The 
    Burlesque 
    Star Trek (2009)

2. Run AMC updater
3. Look at the "Big Icon" layout, and at the Movie details screens, there will 
be no thumb/cover

Discussed in this forum thread:  
http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cover-art-not-working-during-import-v6
-myfilms.113802/

I do not know exactly what causes this,  But in most cases the following i

1. A correct image file is infact downloaded into catalog/picture
2. when selecting the movie, you do not see the 'No cover' default image, nor 
do you see this image file
3. A small icon file (100x150) has been created in c/ProgramData/Team 
MediaPortal/MediaPortal/thumbs/MyFilms/ThumbsCache/MyFilms_Movies/
3. No big icon file (400x600) has been created in c/ProgramData/Team 
MediaPortal/MediaPortal/thumbs/MyFilms/ThumbsCache/MyFilms_Movies/

In my setup I have a shell script which fixes this.
It uses imagemagic to convert the 'incompatible' .jpg image in catalog/pictures 
into a .png and then back into a smaller .jpg

Somehow that get's rid of the problem.

Please look into this, in affects between 5-10% of all movies in my collection

Can confirm, that cover on detail window is not displayed. This seems a 
limitation of Mediaportal - so workaround will be to load the big cached image 
on detail window too.
I could not reproduce the described issue, that the big thumbs are not created 
here.
That might be related to MP settings - cache thumb creation uses MP settings - 
I usually use highest quality settings.

I can verify that the images display now in Icons layout and Details View.

However several issues remain:
1. #myfilms.coverimage displays the cover selected in Cover Manager (i.e. 
picture in picture field) BUT it is not cached - only the original image is 
cached. Cache is not 'updated' when you select a different image, or you 
recache all thumbs. So quality of large images downsized in MF is quite poor.
2. 1. #myfilms.picture displays the cached image - but since the 'selected' 
image is not cached, you get a different image in Details View than you do in 
Main view (we could call that a feature LOL)
3. Cover Manager - #myfilms.cover.selectedpreview still does not display large 
images.

I rechecked the changes we've done so far - resizing was not yet fully 
implemented - so most probably it is best approach to do that and revert the 
usage of cache thumbs.
Please comment, if that is desired, as it would resize downloaded covers to 
smaller size.

I don't have a problem resizing images to a height of 600 or max 2MB.

However I found another test case you can use today - G.I. Joe Retaliation:
Cover gets downloaded to my covers folder - 1.9 MB 1298x2000 and does NOT get 
cached in 
MediaPortal\Thumbs\MyFilms\ThumbsCache\MyFilms_Movies thus only displays when 
#myfilms.coverimage is NOT used, such as Details window, and layouts other than 
list.

Here is my films log showing GUI update for G.I. Joe Retaliation - though I can 
see nothing that explains why it does not display.

What do we need to document? AFAIK users do not need to do anything. So setting 
this to Docs NotReq

I tried to reproduce the problem with the last example you mentioned (G.I. Joe) 
- but couldn't reproduce. Tried updating cover image via cover manager, details 
and main window - all was ok and too big image was resized.

I can verify in build 2908 using the core dll provided in MP Team forum (for 
Label3 fix) that even GI Joe is fixed. As reported in the MP forums, some of 
the thumb issues are actually bugs introduced with the changes in MP 1.4.0 for 
generating TV Thumbs.

Thus I am verifying this issue for now. We can add a new issue if we find any 
further cases using MP 1.5.0.
