ok, VC-1 is a video format used on most HD-DVDs, and some Blu-rays.

some info here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VC-1

XBMC, detects VC-1 steams, most media managers detect it.
But not a single skin displays VC-1 flag.

there's been a VC-1 flag in Transparency! for a while now.
if it's not displaying for some reason i'd need to know what ListItem.VideoCodec returns for VC-1 streams.

could you post the <streamdetails> section of the .nfo file for one of your VC-1 encoded movies?

Ronie, ok maybe "not a single skin" was a bad way of saying it, I meant all skins i tried so far.

What i was getting at that as a general, xbmc community seems to ignore it.

here's the answer to your question posted in another thread.

you just need to find out what xbmc is saying the format is (lets say for example vc1) and then place a file called vc1.png in your flags folder (usually in skin/media/)

hope this helps.

To find out what XBMC is saying these files are, you should scan one or more into the video database, and then export the database as "seperate files". This option is found in Settings > Video > Library. It should export them to the same location where the actual media files are stored, so like Crash.wmv should result in Crash.nfo.

Then, somewhere in those files you should see a chunk of code that looks something like this:

Code:

<fileinfo>
    <streamdetails>
      <video>
        <width>528</width>
        <height>304</height>
        <codec>xvid</codec>
        <duration>2h 4mn</duration>
        <aspect>1.737</aspect>
        <scantype>Progressive</scantype>
      </video>
      <audio>
        <language>eng</language>
        <longlanguage>English</longlanguage>
        <codec>mp3</codec>
        <channels>2</channels>
      </audio>
    </streamdetails>
  </fileinfo>

This is the info that XBMC has, and thus what the skin is trying to match against to display media flags.
