How is FileBot determining the resolution? Cause its doing it wrong

[Morgenstern72]

After many years of relying on Filebots accuracy I just recognized that it handles PAL-DVD-resolution wrong.

If a 576p is only cropped by some pixels, eg to 574 or 572 its recognized as 480p. Which is of course nonsense. It should be
"above 480 and below 577 = 576p", because there is no 480p movie with 5xxp resolution, this must be a cropped 576p.
Even "above 540 and below 577 = 576p" would be ok (while still no correct).

There may be some technical specs that FileBot is sticking too, but they were obviously not made with Handbrake or cropping in mind. Adding black borders to a 570p movie so it's reported 576p may be technical correct, but the source still was a 576p movie, since only the aspect ratio of the source was slightly different (eg theatrical) than a "normal" PAL-DVD would be.

But like it (was and) is now, I have to manually clean up quite some many old beloved movies, that I have in a much better quality then my folder names tell me.
Why at all in the folder/filename? Because whatever database (eg Kodi) I'm using, I love to rely on a simple search in explorer for "480p" or "AC3" to find stuff, that maybe has some better sources. And here i discovered now that I already have some decent quality files, regardless of what FileBot put in the name.

Is there any config I can change so Filebot gets the resolution right?

What's the exact resolution of the file you're talking about?

@see https://github.com/filebot/filebot/blob ... .java#L353

You could use {hpi} which will give you the exact Height/ScanType value, but that'd be less suitable for a folder name.

748x574
Or any other resolation where the height is smaller than 576 but bigger than 480.

Sorry,I dont understand that

Sadly that makes no sense. I need the resolution of an indicator if its a DVD(NTSC or PAL), 720p or 1080p. So i search for 360p pr 480p pr 576p in file explorer to find this old "jewels".

It also works perfectly with all other resolutions.A 1920x1040 (just black bar cropped) is still recognized as a 1080p.
1280x528(!) is still perfectly recognized as 720p

try

Code: Select all

{height<=576 && height>=480 ? '576p' : vf}

I think this is better

Code: Select all

{((dim[0]<=720&&dim[0]>=700)&&video.displayAspectRatio.join('').toBigDecimal() <= 2.6) ? '576p' : vf}

I'll take out the 852x480 step so that should make it give you 576p for a resolution of 748x574.
