Definitions of fanarts and covers - Bindou - 2023-01-24
Hello everyone,
1. Do you know which is the native definition at which Kodi downloads covers and fanarts ?
2. Do you know if it will one day be possible to personalize them directly from the Kodi interface ?
3. For those who have modified the advancedsettings.xml file, what are your best settings for a 4K TV ?
4. What about these settings?

Thanks §
But setting too high a definition wastes disk space, and uses a lot of GPU; this is why I rather ask for the "optimal" definition, and not "maximal". TMDB contains covers up to 3000 x 2000 pixels, which exceeds the 2160 x 3840 of a 4K display on the vertical axis. In addition, the covers are never displayed in "full screen". I imagine that the optimal must therefore be around 1500 x 1000 pixels? What do you think ?

Others will need to advise on their experience.

I understand, thanks. On a PC there should be no limit. On a low consumption box, it's very different.

imo if there were a perfect setting for everyone then there would be no need to even have the setting for a user to configure
the settings exists to allow each individual user the opportunity to find what works for their own setup
