Displaying source name in Fullscreen video

[hcgiub001]

Hey ivar, long time , hope all is well :) Thanks for hearing me out and considering this request

Anime using addons can be finicky, Tikipeter is adding a great feature where we can change "episode groups". TMDB is using a default structure for the seasons and episodes. but people have created their own and anyone can create them. Some shows TMDB doesn't use a group that corresponds to torrents, but now you have the ability to fix that so it's a great tool we will shortly have.

It's not just for anime, you have Netflix shows where I've seen this feature correct and find results. But when I'm watching anime and a next episode is loaded. I'm always thinking what if it's the wrong file, but their is no easy way to check what the actual file is being played (if you are in a pack)

Here is what it currently shows

this is what is showing when I try to find a source

and this information I would love to see on the fullscreen video control somewhere

I grabbed my history from RD and came up with something

Now I can see what I was supposed to search for Dan Da Dan | S1 E1 and what file I'm actually playing DAN.DA.DAN.S01E01.Thats.How.Love.Starts.Ya.Know!.2160p.B-Global.WEB-DL.JPN.AAC2.0.H.264.MSubs-ToonsHub.mkv

and have confidence it's the right file

Or even if you can add this in this screen

Just somewhere so I can make sure the file name is the right season and episode number to what I want it to be

Is this possible and do you think it's worth it for you? I'm sure you would need addons to provide this information somehow? thanks again , I like using Nimbus, it's perfect blend of aesthetics and speed

I've added this in and made it optional. It will be available in the next update.

[hcgiub001]

No way, this was one thing I didn't think you would add! honestly I love this! THANKYOU!

[hcgiub001]

I love it , thankyou :), You even added the title of the episode, NICE

[hcgiub001]

This isn't a big deal but what do you think of only having the source text scroll (if it's too big) and keeping the rest the same

In my example above Bleach | 2 x 3 | March of the Starcross | will stay fixed and the source text will scroll (if it needs to) It will look cleaner and we can always have a fixed place holder. If too much bother then it's cool. Thanks again

[hcgiub001]

their is an issue, wasn't sure to open a new issue for this I'll post a pic

it's a pack this is what my RD history is saying the file is /Blue Lock - Episode 02 - Monster 1080p BDRip x265 PCM 2.0 Kira [SEV].mkv

this is the magnet link magnet:?xt=urn:btih:a0b3739e0b2cea46afdc7085ab62de1f16f6e08c

I've noticed this on a few episodes. if you need any more information, happy to provide. hope you can have a fix. thank you

Maybe later.

I don't see the issue.

@hcgiub001 Hey, sorry for being out of topic. I saw the screenshot of the torrent files search and im wondering if this is an add-on inside of kodi or a website if you could share the name of it, I'll appreciate it I'm always looking for torrents to cache on my RD cloud and that website or android apk looks clean.

[hcgiub001]

I don't see the issue.

The show title is missing and it should write "Blue Lock - Episode 02 - Monster 1080p BDRip x265 PCM 2.0 Kira [SEV].mkv"

it has %20 for the spaces etc.

@Nuklear92 it's https://debridmediamanager.com/ I've been meaning to have a guide. it's a better way to manage your debrid stuff. The new scraper that was added (commet) is using the stuff on this site. You can search for content that you can't find and good chance it has it. Comet isn't a full 1:1 with this Just sync with your debrid account

If the TV show title is missing that means it's not being set by whichever addon you're using.

As for the spaces, that's exactly how Kodi is reading the label for the filename. Fixing this would require parsing the label during playback and then spitting out a new one. That's not worth my time or effort for something I'll never use.

[hcgiub001]

100%, it's on a few shows and has the information I require to see the episode data. Thanks for doing this :)

[hcgiub001]

would you be able to point me where this logic occurs? I've had great success with chatgpt and I can start learning how to tweak things myself

EDIT, I should be able to find it in xml full screen somewhere. I'll have a look

[ivarbrandt]

would you be able to point me where this logic occurs?

Yeah for sure. look for NowPlayingLabelVar in Variables_Seekbar.xml.

OpenAI is a great resource. Especially if you use it to teach you how and why it's doing what it's doing. It can really speed up the learning process.

[hcgiub001]

legend! I had an idea before you wrote that. you made changes from one version to the next so I asked chatgpt "I have an addon that has his repo in github, he's made changes to his code for the update. is their a section that shows the edits he's made from one version to the next. does github give you that?"

and it's response was

"Yes, GitHub has a feature called Activity View that allows you to see a detailed history of changes made to a repository. Here's how you can use it:

Navigate to the repository's main page on GitHub.

Click on the "Activity" tab to the right of the list of files.

Filter the activity by branch, user, or time period to find the specific changes you're interested in.

Click "Compare changes" next to the activity you want to inspect. This will show you the exact edits made between versions1.

Would you like more detailed instructions on any of these steps?"

so was about to go down this path lol, it's fun learning and tinkering. lets see how far I get thanks

[hcgiub001]

I looked into this. chatgpt wasn't able to modify it. I learnt if I create an addon and use python script to activate when a video is played that we can change the information and store in another variable then to use that instead. but then would have to do for every update. I only wanted the information about episode so it's fine as it is.

one thing I changed was

false

in includes_seekbar.xml

when it was scrolling , it's disorientating, you don't get a glance of the content being displayed and you can't check episode that is supposed to be displayed against what is being pkayed.

For next update can you change so it doesn't scroll? I feel you get the best value that way. thanks imo great underrated feature

[hcgiub001]

I figured out how it works slightly

now I have full filename and I can easily view it, pretty chuffed, thanks for your help

EDIT changed the top one to grey, now it's easier to read

EDIT2: now I want to see if I can change the title chatgpt is saying use something like $INFO[Player.Filename|String.Replace(%20, )|String.Replace(%27, ')|String.Replace(%5B, [)|String.Replace(%5D, ])]

but this returns nothing. are we allowed to change stuff like this? any pointers I can take on board?

[hcgiub001]

not sure how but chatgpt got it working

I created an addon and the python script created a new info label that I'm using. it wasn't working and we added some debug stuff, then for some reason that made it work!

I think it actually looks good and very useful, now will try to see how to add the file size stuff. really pleased with this!

[hcgiub001]

hey, do you know if we can get the file size of the file being played? can't find anything from https://kodi.wiki/view/InfoLabels checked kodi logs and nothing shows up. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

[hcgiub001]

thanks for giving me the push and believing I can do it. I managed to add filesize!

[ivarbrandt]

Nice job man. Keep learning. I'm rooting for you.
