Enhancement: Display the cover resolution on each image of the manual search

Open jrbastien opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

When using the manual cover search, it would be useful to display the image resolution. This is required to select the right resolution. Especially with RB 2.96, it displays a bigger image of the cover when playing. Usually 500x500 is a good choice for this.

Google provides this functionality:

Image_resolution

This is certainly possible - but for me personally - I'm no html nor CSS expert... and I would happily request any HTML web-designer to do this!!

Just some notes:

The manual search query is just a HTML web-page with some javascript and CSS located in the subfolder ./tmpl

It appears you can overlay text over an image using this Q&A to help:

The results of search API are here (https://developers.google.com/image-search/v1/reference) - you can get the image width & height using (strangely!) the "width" and "height" properties.
