I extracted the definition files as indicated by you and I also created a Dolby Vision user field: selecting it, the icon appears while for HDR it still does not work.

I followed your directions for the photos of the actors, and by selecting Cast Images the photos of the actors appear but under the individual photos I do not see the actor and character name as in your case.

Ok, I'll wait for you to come back

lepa · « **Reply #651 on:** October 19, 2020, 03:43:24 am »

For hdr icon to show with my template you'll will also need setup [Definition] field as described previous page.

For actor images to have names/roles I suggest you'll navigate to ZRatings thread on Third Party sub forum. I'm not using it myself so you'll get better help there

lello · « **Reply #652 on:** October 19, 2020, 09:01:45 am »

Thanks lepa, the hdr icon now works. Now I take a look at the thread on Zrating hoping to understand something, but I have doubts

lepa · « **Reply #653 on:** October 19, 2020, 09:09:30 am »

Given that you already got ZRatings to show actor images it should be relatively easy to run some ready made template to add cast and roles into the images. When you got the images I can help you to set path on this side accordingly if needed

Here is some info about writing text above images:

lello · « **Reply #654 on:** October 19, 2020, 01:30:56 pm »

Today I started from that post.

I downloaded the caption.bat and put it in c: \ script, I downloaded ImageMagick and finally I set Zratings as indicated. He downloaded the photos (in the folders I previously created Actors \ [Original Title] (Year) \) but in the films I had previously used as a test, the images were no longer visible. I tried cleaning up the folders and redoing the process in Zratings, but the images were still not showing.

So I tried a new film that I hadn't covered before, and this time the images were seen but the actor's name and role didn't.

I have looked at the caption.bat file and I don't seem to have read that ImageMagick is started (but I'm no expert).

Maybe something needs to be set in ImageMagick? How can I clean up everything downloaded from Zratings so I can start over?

And is it possible to tell Zratings to create \ original title (year) \ folders and put the images there?

zybex · « **Reply #655 on:** October 19, 2020, 02:51:48 pm »

Hi Lello,

There are several things that need to match for Actor+Role pics to show up:
1. the Actor.png files need to be named with the corresponding Role (ie, "Actor Name [Role].png")
2. ImageMagick must be run with the correct args to imprint the name+role on the downloaded image
3. the [Actors] field also needs to contain matching names with roles, so that we can link from it to the full filename (ie, "Actor Name [Role]; Another Actor [Role2]; etc"
4. The Expression must be able to convert that [Actors] field into a list of Paths to where the exact filename is located (ie, the Expression must transform "Actor Name [Role]" into "C:\JRiver\Actors\Movie Title (2010)\Actor Name [Role]")

ZRatings helps with 1, 2, and 3. Here are the instructions:

- Magick.exe must be in your system's PATH so that it can be run from any folder. If unsure, just open a Command Prompt and type "magick" - you should get some info about Magick's usage. If you get an "invalid command or filename" then you need to figure out how to add Magick's folder to the PATH (google it). An alternative is to edit the ZRatings' Caption.bat and replace "magick" commands with "c:\program files\ImageMagick\magick.exe", WITH QUOTES (or whatever path leads to your copy of magick.exe)

ZRatings:
On Settings -> Posters:
- Enable "Save Actor/crew thumbnails to this folder", enter "c:\JRiver\Actors\$title ($year)" as the folder path (this creates subfolders as you wanted). You can chose a different folder, just keep the "$title ($year)" part to have it create the subfolders.
- select a Thumbnail size - Medium is OK.
- Enable the other 3 options there (save as PNG, use placeholder, run post-processing)
- Post processing command: "c:\scripts\caption.bat $image $name $role $type"

On Settings -> Misc Settings, enable the option "Add Role to actor names". This takes care of 3) above
if you want you can delete all your Actor PNG files, as they are likely misnamed or on the wrong folder. ZRatings will fetch them again. Or, just point ZRatings to a different/fresh output folder (you'll also have to tweak the Expression to point to the folder you use)

When ready (make sure "magick" works!), select the playlist/movies you want (in ZRatings) and do "Get Movie Info". ZRatings will update the movie's fields, including [Actors] - check if all is OK and then hit "Save to JRiver" (if IMDbID is not correct you may get wrong results!).
ZRatings also downloads the actor pics in background. If all is working you'll see the Actor files appearing on the c:\jriver\actors subfolders. ZRatings will have a spinner showing how many files it's still processing... after it's done, open a few PNG files to check if they look alright.

Add salt and pepper as desired.

This above takes care of 1/2/3. For 4, you'll need to tweak the expression to get it to point to the correct files. Not sure if the expressions above already cover that, so I'll leave you on your own for now. Good luck!

lepa · « **Reply #656 on:** October 19, 2020, 04:34:02 pm »

After you got 1-3 sorted I can help with 4

Expression probably needs to be changed to something like this but let's worry that when you got your images created. (It would be a bit cleaner expression if you were using MC's Data\Tooltip folder as a base folder e.g. Data\Tooltip\Actors\)

Code: [Select]

Save(C:////JRiver////Actors////Clean([Name],3) /([Year]/), v_ActorImagesPath)/

lello · « **Reply #657 on:** October 20, 2020, 02:27:17 am »

Intact thanks zybex for coming to my aid too.
I followed all the instructions, and now Zratings perfectly creates the folders and inserts the images. On JRiver now I see the photos of the actors (not all of them though, e.g. Jason Momoa is not seen) but I still don't see the name and role in these photos.
I tried to replace "magick" in the caption.bat file with the path to the executable, but the result doesn't change.
As for the expression, I left what I had

I attach a couple of screenshots

zybex · « **Reply #658 on:** October 20, 2020, 03:19:14 am »

From your screenshot, Magick seems to be on PATH, but for some reason it's still not stamping the images. I just tried on my Aquaman and I can see them all stamped, see screenshot below. Can you please share the ZRatings log file, it will have details on what is failing with Magick. You can find it on your TEMP folder - just open "%TEMP%\ZRatings" in Explorer.

Momoa missing: it seems you are missing actors which have multiple roles. These are named like this: "Jason Momoa [Arthur Curry, Aquaman]". Maybe Lepa's expression is truncating it at the comma, so it doesn't match the filename.

I just tested the expression and found something else - ListMix() function is broken in MC 27.0.21, it's not replacing field names within the ListMix template. I'll create a new post about it, hopefully it will be fixed for next release. It's possible that this bug is causing Jason to be missing, but I can't test it right now. Lepa, can you please check your expression on your MC/Zelda with "Actor [role1, role2]" ?

PS: the expression has a typo on one of the [Director] references, is says [Direcor] instead. This will cause Director to be missing.

PS2: If you want more than 5 actors, you can increase the max number in Settings->API->Max Number of Actors

lello · « **Reply #659 on:** October 20, 2020, 05:18:13 am »

I'll check later, above expression was just something for starters as I didn't know exactly what kind of folder/filename structure rulers there will be for lello. I can make some kind of generalized tv template for ZRatings actors images users when lello has everything figured out on ZRatings side.

@lello old expression uses tooltip folder as a base folder so it won't find any images if your actor images are not there. But as said try to get images working with magick first. After that let's concentrate where they are and how to show them in Theaterview

zybex · « **Reply #661 on:** October 20, 2020, 06:35:00 am »

Lello, check your "post processing command" setting.
I think you have "c:\scripts\caption.bat" there, but your actual folder is "c:\script" according to a post above.

lello · « **Reply #662 on:** October 20, 2020, 08:58:30 am »

That was the problem: the "s" !!!

The expression is also right, as in Theater View I see photos and names / roles.

A couple of problems remain:
1) photos and names too small although in Zratings has selected Thumbnail Size "Large"
2) in Theater View the photos of the director and writer are missing (you probably need to make a change to the expression)

Code: [Select]

<font size="80" color="696b75"><b>STARRING:<//b><br><//font>If(Compare([Cast Images],=,1),<font size="450">Replace(ListMix(<img src="tooltip:tools-separator-60x352"><img src="tooltip:Actors////Clean([Original Title],3) /([Year]/)////[L1]">, 1, [Actors],1;2;3;4;5;6),;,/  )<//font><br>,<i>Replace(ListLimit([Actors],10),;,/,/ )<//i><br>)If(!IsEmpty([Director]),<br><font size="80" color="696b75"><b>DIRECTOR:<//b><//font>/  <font size="80" color="ffffff"><i>[Director]<//i><//font>,)If(!IsEmpty([Screenwriter]),<font size="80" color="696b75"><br><b>WRITER:  <//b><//font><font size="80" color="ffffff"><i>Replace([Screenwriter],;,/,)<//i><//font>,)

zybex · « **Reply #663 on:** October 20, 2020, 09:37:31 am »

MC renders the image at the same height as the current line of text. To override that you can specify the <img> "height" (or "width"):

Code: [Select]

<img src="path to file.png" height="400">It's best to use the actual image height there to prevent blurring.

For Director/Writer, check the expressions - the MC [Director] field is usually just the name, but the filename is actually "Person Name [Director].png". So the expression should contain something like "<img src="tooltip:Actors\[Name] ([Year])\[Director] \[Director\].png>"

PS1: I found another bug in recent MC - images with commas in the filename are not showing at all (like Jason Momoa). I'll report this bug as well.
In hindsight maybe choosing the comma as role-separator in ZRatings wasn't the best choice. I may need to change it.

PS2: One other recent change in MC - filenames on the Expressions must now have the extension; before it was assumed to be "png" and it would not work if we added ".png" on the Expression; now, it only works with the full filename including extension - this is because apparently it now supports JPG as well.

lello · « **Reply #664 on:** October 20, 2020, 10:08:10 am »

Ok, I managed to change the size of the photos.
As for the rest, I rely on lepa as I am absolutely not up to it.

P.S. I thought I read that donations were possible for Zratings but I don't see anything on the site: am I wrong?

There's a Donate button on the ZRatings app -> press the "?" button in bottom-right corner, or F1. I didn't put it on the site.

Regarding commas in the filenames (multiple roles): I'm discussing the issue with Matt, I'll post our findings soon.

lepa · « **Reply #666 on:** October 20, 2020, 01:39:03 pm »

I'm still using 1080p desktop resolution because MC with it's own windowing doesn't scale automatically so well so images are probably looking small on 2160p

There is no room in my template design to show images for others than actors which I have tried to state couple of times already

You could make it show less actors and add other crew images to actors line of faces if you like.

A strange thing happens. I have updated MC to version 27.0.26 and the images of the actors are no longer visible. Yet in the folder the photos are still there and the expression has not been changed. Fortunately I had a backup of 2 days before and it solved the problem. ? ?

Looks like ListMix() is broken on 27.0.27.

Assuming you're on Windows, this seems to fix it on v26: replace the fwd-slashes in the paths by backslashes:

I use ZRatings for Movies and My Music Concerts which is defined a Music Video's under Media Sub Type. I have to change 1000's of these fields (Music Video's / Concerts) under Media Sub Type to Movies and then back again to Music Video or Concert in order to gather the great data that IMDB, TMDM and OMDB have.

Since all of these three services are supporting the Metadata that we need for Movies, Music Concerts/Video's and TV Shows, I would second the notion to add those in if it's not a big deal to create the modification.

Thanks for all of your hard work in making ZRatings a great product and a great value for our audio and visual enjoyment!

That's a simple change, I can do that. Can you please send me a couple of IMDB ID examples for your MusicVideo/Concerts for validation? Do you use both SubTypes, "Concert" and "Music Video"?

wer · « **Reply #679 on:** October 30, 2020, 03:04:54 pm »

I'd just suggest that since the same title might be reused by different shows, the default lookup type should remain "Movie" to avoid disrupting existing users. There would just need to be an easy way to change the type for particular rows when necessary.

zybex · « **Reply #680 on:** October 30, 2020, 03:30:42 pm »

If that's a concern I can add an option to enable Concerts/MusicVideo.
However, how would it disrupt existing users? You can always select a playlist that includes/excludes these videos, right?

wer · « **Reply #681 on:** October 30, 2020, 05:27:17 pm »

Some might, but some might just use the "recently imported" playlist, and that could have a mix. I frequently do that, because running something through MCR is part of the workflow of importing.

My point is that there will inevitably be conflicts between the names of Movies and the names of Music Videos, so there should be a way to avoid that. The option you describe to enable/disable concerts/music-videos sounds like a good solution.

I think it's a more desirable behavior for a lookup to fail (return nothing) so that you could then try with a different media type, as opposed to the app thinking "I didn't get a match on Movie, so I'll automatically try searching other media types instead" because often a match fails because of a punctuation discrepancy or something trivial, and if a "wrong" result is returned (it matched on a music video when it should have matched on a movie) the failure wouldn't be apparent unless you manually reviewed all the matches. Just my 2 cents. If the app can control the type of search it does based on the Media Sub Type, that helps.

I currently only use one of Media Subtypes for "Movies" that are Music related and is Music Video. However I think that Concert might make more sense although many of them or music related and are more documentary based and not Live Concerts so lets stick with Music Video.

TV Series also makes sense to add as I have a couple of those and I know that others do too.

lepa · « **Reply #688 on:** November 03, 2020, 01:07:23 am »

Nothing fancy there. It is an image and image size is still inside the limits of MC View Item size and there is not font characters in the same item.

wer · « **Reply #689 on:** November 03, 2020, 02:14:19 am »

Ok I see. And that one looks like just a test, as you're not using an expression for the name.

So I'm guessing that's just a png with the letters on a transparent background then.

It's a cool idea, and it does look very nice, but I question whether it would be worth it to me to try and find images like that for all my titles... And even if I did find nice looking title text images for all the movies and shows, probably a lot of them would be on black or white backgrounds or worse, so then I'd also have to edit many of those files to delete the background and make it look clean.

Hmm... A lot of work, it could turn out to be...

Looks really spiffy though.

lepa · « **Reply #690 on:** November 03, 2020, 02:34:47 am »

I could of course use <img src="tooltip:banner-[Series]" but yeah, banner is hand made. Could of course make check that if there is no banner to series then show font title.

Currently this is a lot manual work and not worth of one man's solo work unless it's a hobby. Basically you'll need dummy season library items 1-x (same dummies can be used for all the series) to make current linking system work. For every series you'd need to import farscape.series and farscape_s1.season etc dummies. So it would be 10 min job per series without hand made banner.

For movies I don't use banners as the movie cover usually have that same text already.

Hopefully Theaterview will get some love e.g for linking and there are also other little things where some new MC configuration options would help to create more creative views

@mvandyke,
I just published ZRatings v3.2.2, which adds a new setting "MC File Filter". It takes any valid MC Filter expression, you can test it on MC's search/filter box. For your needs, you can go into Settings->Misc Settings tab and set the filter to:
[Media Sub Type]=Movie,Concert,[Music Video]
The default is just "Movie" so that it doesn't disrupt existing users, as per Wer's concern.

Note that while you can now set it up to load any media type, ZRatings it still only designed to support Movies which have an IMDB+TMDb entry. So if you enable TVSeries, for instance, they will show up in ZRatings but it will most likely not find any match. You can manually enter an IMDB ID for it, and it will probably load some info but it's unlikely to work well.

PS: Thanks for the donation

Thanks so much Zybex. Appreciate your support and all of the great work that you're doing. Just coming back from a long trip but will look at the new update in more depth in the morning.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!!

The new media sub type works great and saves me a ton of time. Thanks again!

just published ZRatings v3.2.2,

I tried to download the update, but now I get a message saying it can't find JRiver !!

I removed the .exe file and reinstalled again, but I always get the same message!

Hi Lello,
Please try restarting MC, including shutting down the tray icon/media server. Alternatively try restarting your PC.

I had the same issue after uninstalling MC26, it wouldn't find MC27 anymore due to some registry entries being removed by the uninstaller. Reinstalling MC27 fixes it.

Solved! Thank a lots

I've been working on my own tooltips and Theater View prettiness but had a (possibly dumb) question about the tooltip.tff files someone (Moe? lepa?) shared on here: where do those go when they're installed, i.e., when I open the tff file and click "Install," where are all those logos going? They don't seem to be in the "Fonts" folder in Windows, or at least I don't see any there.

It's .ttf (not .tff) for TrueTypeFont, by the way.

When you right click on a font file and click Install, Windows will install it in the Fonts directory, which by default is c:\windows\fonts

Thanks for the correction: just too hasty in my typing.

I thought that's where they might go, but I didn't see any of the images in there (like "Dolby" or "Bluray," et al.). Maybe they don't show up when one scans through the folder? Or maybe I'm thinking of them wrongly (likely)?
