Certification logos by country

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What area does your enhancement or feature relate to? (i.e. Config/Setup,
GUI, options, Skin, AMC Updater, Grabber Interface, etc.)
Logos Engine, Config, Setup, GUI and maybe skin?

What is the purpose or benefit of the new feature or enhancement?
Currently only US and German logos are supported. In fact, where countries use 
the same Certification code (e.g. U, 18 etc.) the wrong logo may display.

How would you expect it to work? (Accessed via, new settings required, Skin
changes/new properties)
New Country code setting in Logos Engine and Setup page which is used as part 
of the 'path' to logo images E.g. logos\Certification\[two digit ISO country 
code]. The logos country can be preset based on the country selection in 
Wizard, same as the grabber override option is preset).

Grabbers should grab only the cert value (e.g. G), not the country name (e.g. 
USA G) like IMDB grabbers do currently. The logo engine simply displays the 
logo from the subdirectory based on the country code the user selects in Logos 
Tab.  

Logos must be added to 
MyFilms\Installer\Thumbs\MyFilms\DefaultLogos\Certification subfolders wherever 
available. Logos are available on Wikipedia:  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_certification for Australia, Brazil, Canada, 
Canada/Quebec, Denmark, Ireland, Indonesia, Malayasia, Maldives, Netherlands, 
New Zealand, Phillipines, Singapore, UK.

I have logos for Australia, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, 
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Maldives, Netherlands, New Zealand, Quebec, 
Singapore, United Kingdom, USA, and can perhaps find more on the web.

Can you illustrate it with examples such
as images (screenshots), scenarios or examples from other Plugins?

If this issue has been discussed in the MyFilms forum, add a link to the
related thread or post.

OK I added some sample logos in country subfolders for testing.

1. In Logos Setup select MyFilms logos
2. Enter a country code (au, de, uk, us) 
3. You must have valid data in Certification field for the logo rules to work
You probably won't see much difference for DE or US since we already had those 
logos, but if you have movies with cert '18' and switch between DE and UK you 
should get a diff logo.
For US Certifications the best one to test is 'R' and switch between au and us 
country codes. PG will also work with au, uk, us but I only had PG-13 movies. ;)

The only issue I have seen is in the Logos Editor/Setup
1. As always you must save, exit, reload before you will see the different 
logos in the 'click to select logo' preview when you select a rule.
2. The image paths in editor do not update to show the correct sub folder. They 
seem to default to the first case found. So if you select 18 rule the image 
path displays C:\ProgramData\Team 
MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MyFilms\DefaultLogos NOT C:\ProgramData\Team 
MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MyFilms\DefaultLogos\uk (if you have selected UK 
as country.

However the biggest issue is that we need to add logo rules for the 
certification values for each country supported!

Have added both #myfilms.config.country and "value2 as comparator in logo 
manager - so rules to setup should be easy - maybe just one to use DB field 
value.

First the good news ;)
1. Backwards compatibility seems fine - if skin has no country subfolders then 
logos display as before.
2. #myfilms.config.country works

I don't know what to do with 'value2' comparator, but since it is so easy, 
maybe you can commit a sample MyFilmsLogos.xml ? ;)

The bad news is
#myfilms.config.country always displays 'en-US' for me no matter what I enter 
in Logos Setup
Log shows:
2014-06-25 13:42:05,817 Debug [  1 |  Logos ]: Logo Country: 'DE', MP language 
= 'en-US' 
So it looks like the property is ONLY getting MP language, not Logo country (I 
tried DE, us, au, uk....)

Also, the Logo Country only searches one folder level below a 'logos' subfolder 
(is a \logos folder required?)
I suspect many skins (like aMPed) will prefer to use logos\ratings(or 
certification)\<country code>

It took me ages to figure out why it wasn't working! LOL

Sample is written in tooltip of the comparator:
"Certification", "value", "", "", "", "", "", ""
Re issue: I fixed one problem in latest build, if you test build 3043, it 
should use logo manager country setting.
Re directory structure: yes, it is always one sub below 'logos'. But you could 
theoretically define COuntry = 'ratings\de' - but with such a structure, the MP 
,anguage autodetection woudln't work anymore - this would require code changes.
What to do?

OK I updated MyFilmsLogos.xml with new value rule. Please check it also works 
for you in the following use cases:
1. No country selected in Logos Setup
2. Country selected in logos setup
3. Using MP Logos pack
4. Using skin logos with no country folders for cert logos
5. Copy MF logos country folders to skin of choice and test 
   a) with country selected
   b) with no country selected
I have not verified issue yet because I think we need to test on more than one 
system/user settings.

I am still hesitant about asking skinners to create media\logos\<country> 
folders, as I don't know if they will! But let's ignore my negativity and try 
it. Users' can always do it if skins don't!

Verified again - MP Language fallback now works much better (getting last 2 
digits of language code) though it will never be 100% since language codes and 
country codes don't always match!

I updated all docs with latest (better) implementation, and added a FAQ entry:
