SgtDave,

I don't understand why you act as if Ace_of_Sevens' response was a rebuke. It was not. Everything he said was just stating the facts.

Quote:
I do not have the Beta so why would I know UHD was "in fact" included.

He didn't say you were supposed to know. He just told you about it. But since it was reported in Announcements that there was a beta, with a link to the post where Ken lists all the new features, one would think that anyone interested in such things would have read about it.

Quote:
And no, you cannot add anything that you want into Media Type.

Yes you can! You just didn't understand how to use it. That's not Ace's fault. Maybe he didn't know either. Did you expect Ace to find out? Why would you expect him to do what you should be doing yourself? You could just have asked a follow-up question nicely, and you would have gotten the answer from greyghost without coming off as a jerk.

By the way, does anyone know ...

Yes, that's the way to ask for information. So I hope you get an answer to this.

I don't understand why you would dump on a new member, after it seemed the situation was resolved. But I guess when the best thing in life for you seems to be 16 years having this program, what should anyone expect.

I hope SgtDave doesn't take long to realize that even though the program has good aspects, there are some things around here that suck.

Well, I guess I was hoping that I could convince SgtDave that you can get better responses if you don't come into a new community with an attitude. Just because you never learned doesn't mean that SgtDave can't.

The only attitude that I have is that if I ask a question, then I have an expectation of an answer; an answer that is useful and fills my knowledge gap.

So GSyren, you took the time to retort back to me and to even recognize that I asked a legitimate quest. But you did not answer the question.

So I'll ask it again: Does anyone know how to apply an image icon to the "Custom Media Type?" I can load the image into the report, but I cannot attach anything as a VHS image icon to custom media type for viewing within the main screen. Every time I try something, the DVD and other standard logos disappear (a good thing) and a big blank white box appears with nothing in it (a bad thing). Any ideas? - Thanks

SgtDave, not sure I understand what you mean by attaching the image to the main screen, but I'll give it a go.  If you mean the logo that is displayed next to the region coding and UPC/EAN then from the menu bar select Tools -> Edit Media Types...

Add a new media type and select an image with a height no larger than 64 pixels although it can be wider than 64 pixels.  Then edit the affected profiles and ensure the custom media type is selected for those profiles.

Well, Ace gave you the best answer he had, presúmably hoping that it would help you get closer to a solution. You could have been grateful that he tried to help, even if he didn't have the full answer. But you weren't. That's attitude in my book.

I would have thought that "I hope you get an answer to this" indicated clearly enough that I did not have the answer myself. But again you sound like you think that everyone owes you a full answer, even if they have to research it for you.

Just be polite when people try to answer, and we'll all get along fine.

I'm not sure I saw an answer to this ... (Oops, now I see it was previously posted. rdodolak beat me to it. I missed it ... sorry. This will be a reminder in case you missed it also. Oh, now I see you even answered. Geez, maybe the impending snowstorm has got me loopier than normal!  )

(1) Menu Tools - > MediaTypes
(2) Add
(3) Type in the name for your mediatype
(4) Select images for the icon and banners. Be careful to select images that will scale properly
(5) Save

To use the custom type, edit the media profile and select the custom checkbox and type.

(Regarding the aforementioned and off-topic snowstorm - for those of you don't live in the Northeast US: please wish us luck. Major late season storm with blizzard winds is expected to dump 1 - 2 feet or more of snow in a large section of northeast. This usually results in many fallen trees, power outages and other obvious issues.)

Not sure how this relates, but when an HMTL window displays DP NAME="MEDIA_TYPE" for a 4K disc it shows as "4K UHD".

Try DP_MediaType4KUltraHD
