Fanart and poster pixelate

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    I'm using LibreElec and enjoying it, but I've got one little but annoying problem.

    Some of my fanart and poster, not all, are pixelating somehow.

    When I export my library via unique files, the original fanart/poster files get replace by the pixels one on my NAS.

    Even when I delete the movie/tv shows after replacing the pixel files by the good one on my NAS and update the library, LibreElec keep showing me the pixel fanart/poster.


    The only way to correct this, is to select again the good fanart/poster on the interface of LibreElec.

    Best regards.

    Speculos (I'm french).

    Do you have any settings in the advancedsettings.xml file minimizing the fanart size?

    2.4.1 imageres

    This tag is new for v12 (Frodo), replacing <thumbsize>.

    Specify the maximal resolution that art should be resized to in pixels. The width is automatically calculated as being 16/9*height. The image will be resized to fit within this size. e.g. an image that is 2000x500 will be cached at size 1280x320. An image that is 500x800 will be cached at size 450x720 using the default value of 720.

    <imageres>720</imageres>

    2.4.2 fanartres

    This tag is new for v12 (Frodo), replacing <fanartheight>.

    Specify the resolution that cached fanart should be resized to in pixels. The width is automatically calculated as being 16/9*height. Only images that are exactly 16x9 and equal to or greater than this resolution will be cached at this size - all other images will be cached using <imageres>. The default value is 1080.

    <fanartres>1080</fanartres>

    Default settings for the Raspberry Pi may be such to keep things like fanart easy because of the slower hardware.

    Hi,

    The only settings I have set in the advancedsettings.xml is this

    Code
    <advancedsettings>
     <videolibrary>
          <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
     </videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

    I always create this file when re installing LibreElec to keep the watch/unwatch movies/tv shows.

    Is there any other way, LibreElec could modify this fanart/poster settings outside this specific file ?

    FYI, here my current HTPC (Dell Optiplex) / LibreElec configuration
