Title: Using JRVR fields in profile selection?
Post by: mattkhan on March 15, 2025, 05:10:49 pm
this works

Code: [Select]
[=[Compare([Aspect Ratio],>=,2.2)]=1
this doesn't

Code: [Select]
[=[Compare([JRVR Video AR],>=,2.2)]=1
I'd have thought it should work given both are floats but JRVR Video AR is invisible so I have no idea what the value actually is

can this be added to the OSD?

[JRVR Video AR] doesn't account for black bar cropping (similar to how [JRVR Video Width/Height] don't, they just represent the actual input to the renderer), its essentially just (width / height) * pixel aspect ratio - just in case this might explain what you are seeing.

I'm hesitant changing the meaning of such fields, but I could add new ones that represent the cropped size/AR.

this particular example is a bluray which reports as

video crop = 0x132x1920x948
aspect ratio = 2.35

is pixel aspect ratio visible in a tag anywhere? IIRC that is relevant to DVD only isn't it?

in the end, I switched to these fields to try to use them with a capture card but I guess black bar detection would need to be a live feature for this to work with capture cards anyway so I guess I don't personally need the extra field until black bar detection is a live feature? might be useful to add it anyway though

A Blu-ray would always report an AR of 1.77.. in this case, as it presents as 16:9, so that makes sense.

I ended up adding these new fields just in case:

Code: [Select]
[JRVR Cropped Width]
[JRVR Cropped Height]
[JRVR Cropped AR]
