Searching for files based on resolution - 1080p
« on: September 09, 2014, 09:00:46 am »

Hi There,

I have started to obtain 1080p video files for my library and am trying to figure out the best way to be able to search for movies based on resolution.  I have standard hd, 720p and 1080p movies. 

I want to know how others organize their libraries.  If I want to search only for 1080p movies, how should I do it? Currently, I am adding 1080p to the movie title (e.g., "Gladiator - 1080p") but this is not the best way.

thoughts?

Search for "height=1080" or create a view that uses "height is 1080" ?

Any chance we could get a new tag - maybe something like "resolution"?

this could also be autofilled based on title of the file or some other parameters?

The Width, Height, and Dimensions tags cover "Resolution" entirely.

No it is not.  I would always recommend against cramming additional information into the Name Field. 

MC has excellent stock Fields as well as the ability to create your own.  Combined with the ability to customize any View, it is much easier in the long run to put the information in the appropriate Field and then organize your Views accordingly.

So in which field would you place this information?

Since I use Thumbnail views for films, I just use:

Code: (Thumbnail Text) [Select]
Delimit([Height], p,)

Personally I just throw the 'dimensions' library field on any view where I am needing to filter/sort/search by resolution.

Height is 1080, OR Width is 1920.
Ripped 'Scope' movies with greater than 16:9 are considered 1080p, even if the movie's resolution is less than 1080 vertical pixels.

Personally I would use a "Panes" view and add either "Height" or "Width" as one of the panes.  Then just click on "1080" or "1920" (Depending on which one you use) under the respective "Pane" and voila.  Only 1080P movies (Maybe 1080i?) will be shown.

Well 1080p can have less than 1920 horizontal resolution, though it's rare.
Personally I just rip my Blu-rays to MKV without conversion, so everything is just 1920x1080 (or a DVD)
 
You could use something like:
Code: [Select]
If(IsRange([Height], 721-1080), 1080p, Delimit([Height], p,))

You can also nest these if you want to cover several ranges, such as:
Code: [Select]
If(IsRange([Height], 721-1080), 1080p,
If(IsRange([Height], 577-720), 720p,
If(IsRange([Height], 481-576), 576p,
If(IsRange([Height], 1-480), 480p,
Delimit([Height], p,)))))

You could build a similar rule based on width if you preferred.

Thanks for those!
