<fanartres> not working ? - Sabish - 2013-02-02

Hi all,

After searching the forum, and reading the wiki, i can't seem to find a way to properly resize my fanart. I'v added the following lines to my advancedsettings.xml :

Code:
<fanartres>720</fanartres>
<imageres>512</imageres>

Problem is : only the <imagres> value is taken into account. So no matter what value i specify in <imagres>, it will resize both fanart and thumbs to this value. I want to have 720p fanart and smaller thumbs, but it just doesn't work.
To test my different values, I have of course deleted texture13.db and my thumbnail folder before reloading XBMC to properly recreate my thumbnails/fanart cache.

FYI, i'v tested on windows7 and ATV2, both running Frodo final with a clean install.

I'm wondering if i'm the only one having this issue...Any help would be much appreciated ! Smile

The default values are 720, 1080 respectively (image/fanart) so clearly it does work, as fanart is cached at 1080p, right?

Make sure that your advancedsettings.xml is being read by doing a Debug Log.

Hi Jmarshall, thanks for your answer.

My advancedsettings.xml is being read just fine. The thing is, it seems that only the <imageres> setting is being applied to all my artwork. If i specify a 720 value, either fanart AND thumbnails will have 720px height. If i specify <fanartres>720</fanartres> and <imageres>512</imageres>, then fanart and thumbnails are being resized at 512 px

What i would like to achieve, is having 720p fanart (1280x720px) and lower resolution thumbnail (ie : 512px).

In eden, my settings were like this (if i recall) :

Code:
< fanartheight > 720< / fanartheight >
< thumbsize > 512 < / thumbsize >

..wich was working.

According to the wiki, the new tags for frodo :

Code:
<fanartres>720</fanartres>
<imageres>512</imageres>

should give me the same results right ?

Maybe i'm missing something obvious here Blush
