Some flags do not appear
#1
Good morning
Use Kodi Matrix 19.1 and I have a problem that I was never able to solve even with previous versions of Kodi.
The problem is the correct display of the flag relative to the Aspect Ratio, all archived movies have the flag at 1.78: 1 and I never managed to solve this problem.
Instead in other films the Flag Studios do not appears.
I tried to change the file title with this:
SPECTRE (2015) 2.35.1.4K.10bit.HDR.mkv
But the correct aspect ratio does not appear
For the "Studios" flag that does not appear in some films I don't know how to solve..
Some idea?
Thank you

The rip probably has the black bars included in the video so Kodi reports the dimensions of the video stream including the black bars. What does MediaInfo report for those files https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline

Yep, exactly as jjd-uk said - the black bars are encoded in the video.

Also, there's probably no way we could include a flag for every studio out there.

So there is no solution for this file?
They are MKV Bluray UHD 1: 1
filesI also tried to change the title of the ES file:
SPECTRE (2015) 2.35.1.4K.10bit.HDR.mkv
But with a negative result.

The aspect ratio is taken from the video file itself which, in these cases, is 16:9 or 1.78:1.

If you want to remove the black bars -

Thank you for the information,
but I want to avoid making re-encoding of the file.

The better question is perhaps, why do they add them in the first place... I have a 21:9 monitor where the 2.35:1 video aspect excels, so where necessary I do remove black bars, as well as polish up the video in terms of brightness/contrast and sharpness along the way.

I did some tests in no-recode mode.
Via MKVToolNix I set the aspect ratio to 2.35

I get the correct flag.

But I noticed a distortion problem of aspect ratio with the internal player of Kodi:

If instead via the ability "playercorefactory.xml" file the external player (MPCHC-BE) the Aspect Ratio is correct.
I don't know if this player who has the correct setting, but I put it by default.

Can you act on some stove settings the internal player of Kodi features the same way?
Thank you

By doing that you're now telling Kodi to play the film, including the black bars, in that aspect ratio which will result in a squashed image.

You're either going to have to re-encode them to remove the bars or put up with the correct flag.

Thanks for the explanation.

You can create nfo and add the video portion only dimensions to the stream details section to get correct aspect flagged. See https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Movies
