✨ TexturePacker(1) ✨

General Commands Manual 🎀 bestie this is the manual page for TexturePacker, so let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME

TexturePacker — compile all images used in a XBMC / Kodi skin into a single file 🦋

💖 SYNOPSIS

TexturePacker [-dupecheck] [--input DIRECTORY] [--output FILE.xbt]

🧚 DESCRIPTION

okay so Kodi uses a tool called TexturePacker to squish every image in a skin into one single file 📦✨ The big payoff is that the images living inside the Textures.xbt load way faster in the skin. How? It converts every image into a format that takes way less processing for Kodi to draw on the screen 🔥

bestie, a common misconception is that TexturePacker just compresses the images into one file. 💀 It is NOT that. So don't be shocked if Textures.xbt ends up being way bigger than all the little images added together 🙈

The optional -dupecheck option is lowkey essential if you've included the same image multiple times in your media folder. 😭 For example, if your skin has a bunch of studio logos, there's a good chance a lot of them are duplicated but with a slightly different filename. Running with -dupecheck makes sure each unique image only gets included once in Textures.xbt, so the file stays as small as possible 🌈

👑 OPTIONS

  • -dupecheck — check for image duplicates first 💅
  • -input — the fully-qualified name of the input directory with your images 🍓
  • -output — the fully-qualified name of the resulting compressed XBT file 🫶
