Theater View Changes Coming Soon
lepa:
I can't clear the copyrights for commercial use. Some have been created by me, some downloaded from various places and some hybrids of both. Don't know how e.g. dolby protects its icons for this kind of usage.
JimH:
I think we're ok to use the graphics for displaying their content. If they object, we can back track. We're not selling their products. We've never had a problem with similar uses.

I believe royalty free, but they want you to conform to their guidelines & review.

if any tags can have cover art ... and any nested tags can have cover art (as I mentioned in "Make a Wish")
and theatre view allows to display those covers (atm you can only display the values of those tags ... hence, reason ppl create custom fonts to do this) ... then possibilities are endless ... not just for movies and music ... but for anything you can imagine
imagine able to display CD Disc image ... that image being nested tag - [Album]/[Disc #]
even better ... each tag can have several custom type of images defined in Tag properties ... "poster", "banner", "icon", "background"
then can look it in cover art folder (or folder where media is located):
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\Book\Matter for Madness_frontCover.jpg
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\Movies\Matter for Madness_backCover.jpg
EDIT: crap the title of the book supposed to be "Matter for Men" lol
EDIT 2: hell ... one can even create user contributed cover art database for JRiver (for most common tag types, like CD images, banners, backgrounds, front and back book covers) ... like what launchbox has (https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/)
--- Quote from: tij on December 12, 2023, 10:49:36 am ---I have something similar in mind ... but rather expand on what you currently have:
1. ability to have cover art for any tags - look for them in
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\[Tag Name]\[Tag Value].jpg
if none found, just display stacked items as you do now
2. ability to have cover art for any nested tags - look of them in
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\[Lv1 Tag Name] - [Lv2 Tag Name] - [Lv3 Tag Name]\[Lv1 Tag Value] - [Lv2 Tag Value] - [Lv3 Tag Value].jpg
if none found, just display stacked items as you do now
To speed up look-up, one can specify in tag management whether the tag has cover art (or if it is nested tag and then specify nest levels)
3. Ability to stack Albums - name the stack - and have cover art for stack ... and have this in Theatre View ... seems like good idea to created CD sets that include albums (as oppose to CD compilation set where having tracks grouped by Disc is good enough)

Here are some pictures to show what i mean:
1. You define cover art (and if it is nested type) in [Manage Library Field]
In attached picture ... I define cover art for tag [Disc #] ... it is nested Album/Disc# ... and it has two additional cover art type "InnerHub" and ""InnerHubBack" (for example ppl who wants to keep marking/barcode near disc hole)
So for example, album "Load" will have following cover art for its disc
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\Album-Disc\Load-1.jpg
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\Album-Disc\Load-1_InnerHub.jpg
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\Album-Disc\Load-1_InnerHubBack.jpg
2. Use case for Thearte View ... in Template Information ... ability to choose which CoverArt to use
So for example I attached ... Series will use coverart "banner" (ofcourse this banner type must have been defined in Manage Library Field) ... then MC look for these "banners" in
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\Series\Game of Throne_banner.jpg
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Cover Art\Series\BigBang_banner.jpg
etc
3. Use case for Theatre View ... in Info Panel ... incorporate cover arts in info display
So for example I attached - info panel for Big Bang will be
[clearArt logo for Big Bang .... clearArt is usually png with transparency showing show logo with some backround]
Big Bang
EDIT: added images to show what it supposed to look like in TheatreView for examples provided
[DVD logo ... assuming "Type" was difined as source of videos] [DTS logo ... assuming "Sound" was defined as video's sound]
