I saved a poster and fanart from TMDB manually.
Then i scrapped for the same Movie - using Ember - and saved Poster and Fanart. What i did found out is that the Poster and Fanart saved with Ember have different size (lower size (in kb)) from the ones that i saved manually.
(same resolution, same images, same movie, no Resizing in Settings)..

Why is that?

That is a known problem of Ember, see: http://ember.purplepig.net/issues/103 - even if you set 100& Quality in Ember at Scraper Settings the images downloaded with Ember will have lower quality - this is because Ember doesn't downloading the file 1:1 as you would expect, but saves the jpg as recrompressed image so ou loose quality! I tried a workaround for this once and failed, but I believe msavazzi has this fixed for the next version

From xbmc wiki, the naming of codecs should be following:

Quote:ListItem.VideoCodec Shows the video codec of the currently selected video (common values: 3iv2, avc1, div2, div3, divx, divx 4, dx50, flv, h264, microsoft, mp42, mp43, mp4v, mpeg1video, mpeg2video, mpg4, rv40, svq1, svq3, theora, vp6f, wmv2, wmv3, wvc1, xvid)

ListItem.VideoResolution Shows the resolution of the currently selected video (possible values: 480, 576, 540, 720, 1080). Note that 540 usually means a widescreen format (around 960x540) while 576 means PAL resolutions (normally 720x576), therefore 540 is actually better resolution than 576.

ListItem.VideoAspect Shows the aspect ratio of the currently selected video (possible values: 1.33, 1.66, 1.78, 1.85, 2.20, 2.35)

ListItem.AudioCodec Shows the audio codec of the currently selected video (common values: aac, ac3, cook, dca, dtshd_hra, dtshd_ma, eac3, mp1, mp2, mp3, pcm_s16be, pcm_s16le, pcm_u8, truehd, vorbis, wmapro, wmav2)

I commited some changes in Ember to support this:
dtshd_hra, dtshd_ma were scanned and named correctly, but there were'nt flag icons in Ember before. So I added dtshd_hra.png , dtshd_ma.png to Ember so that for this type of movies, flag icon will be shown. Also added another audio codec mapping: from "a_truehd" to "truehd". I suggest to wait until next version of Ember to check this out and see if everything works.

Awesome job Cocotus! I'm looking forward to checking it out!
