How to increase the display quality of Clear Logos? - Bindou - 2024-10-30

Hello everyone!

Until the day when we can set the resolution of the illustrations directly from the interface, I use the following code to force the Fanart and the Cover to display correctly for a 4K interface:

<advancedsettings>
    <fanartres>1440</fanartres> <!-- Sets the maximum resolution of fanarts in height -->
    <imageres>1640</imageres>   <!-- Sets the maximum resolution of covers in height -->
</advancedsettings>

However, I do not know how to control the size of the Clear Logo. Do you know how to do it? Also, do you know how many pixels is the maximum native (before forcing the change) size of the Clear Logo displayed by Kodi?

imageres covers all artwork that isn't fanart.

Depends on what size the skin you're using displays it and the resolution you're running Kodi at.

- Kodi is set to 3840x2160 px.

- The artwork displays optimally, except for the Clear Logo. The Clear Logos are clearly compressed while I have the following settings:
Quote:<advancedsettings>
<fanartres>1440</fanartres> 
<imageres>1640</imageres>

that skin only renders at a height of 1080, not 2160 so you're not actually seeing a 4K "UI" resolution
see https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.fuse.2/blob/omega/addon.xml#L12-L19

you would have to modify the addon xml with a 4K resolution for it to render at 4K, which will almost certainly mess up all alignment since the alignment was done at 1080

That's not true. Kodi renders its UI at the resolution of the UI layer.

if you put a 4K resolution into Estuary and remove the others it renders much smaller (and cleaner) https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/addons/skin.estuary/addon.xml#L7
that's where i got the idea it isn't rendering at 4K even when you set to 4K

but if you say i'm wrong then i'm wrong, w/e

So I'm lost. haha
What's blocking the Clear Logo resolution?

it is my "opinion" that it is the skin so you will need to follow up with the developer

RE: How to increase the display quality of Clear Logos? - sarbes - 2024-10-30

Has the image been cached before setting the resolutions? Looking up the texture in the cache or inspecting the drawn frame via Renderdoc (https://renderdoc.org/) might give you a clue.

Please don't. There is nothing on the skinning side which can to influence the resolution of the cached images or the resulting textures.

Find the dimensions in the skin code for them, double it, resize in a graphics app (I use GIMP), refresh the info and select the new ones. They'll then be cached at the exact size they're being displayed so there wont be any scaling issues.

Have you even read what the paragraph says? It just expresses that there is practically no size limit of images Kodi can load. This is in no way or form helpful for OP's issue.

Thank you very much for all this information. A priori in this case, the responsible would be the extension TMDBHelper which blocks the max width at 800px. https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.fuse.2/discussions/150
