Feature Posters support for MyMovies + StarkCover / Allow PNG precendence over JPG

 
2 supporters

At the moment MyMovies donwload metadata creating a FOLDER.JPG for the movie poster. After I pass posters thru StarCover it convert FOLDER.JPG to FOLDER.PNG (and optionally create a FOLDERBKP.JPG). Since there is no more a FOLDER.JPG file in the directory, MyMovies automatically downloads again the FOLDER.JPG, so you have 2 posters in your movie folder:

  1. the MyMovies poster as FOLDER.JPG
  2. the StarkCover-ed poster as FOLDER.PNG

Since MB processes before .JPG and then .PNG for posters, at the end you see always the original posters instead of StarkCover-ed posters.

I suggest to modify order of searching posters making first .PNG and then .JPG If the community agree I can porcced with modification directly and commit.

Thanks! Alex

 
  • Maybe an option to choose .jpg or .png with .jpg the default? – FlyGuyAZ 6 months ago

Its a really minor change, my concern is, will this break anyones images? Personally I'm fine with it, I never have more that one folder image in my folders.

Yeah, we could end up with a backlash of people wondering why their images all changed for no reason (not even realizing they had a folder.png).

Alternatively, you could use CoverArt.. ; )

what about a preference setting, maintining actual JPG then PNG default?

 
  • I think this is the way to implement this. Keep current functionality as is, but add a switch to allow “enthusiasts” the ability to move the default to PNG. – sinjen 5 months ago

I would like to see an option to choose the folder.png files as prefered. Folder.jpg is needed to have images in now playing.

otherwise you get this.

I went ahead and did this (birkoff’s design). You can test it in current trunk.

I got the png files as prefered now but I needed to delete the old config file after the update and let it made a new one. Otherwise it didn’t work.

 
  • That sounds like maybe there was a typo in the original… – ebr 3 months ago
