If I’m selecting album art for an older album, it’s hard to tell which images will be high-res and which images will be blurry / low res. I find myself making a change, then playing the song in Plexamp, which is time consuming when many albums need their artwork updated.

A little overlay on the image indicating resolution would be extremely helpful.

Example of a resolution overlay:

There’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option to display additional quality/resolution information in the poster selection. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.

> [feature-request-poster-hover] My library includes quite a few “posters” (album cover art). Often the scanners select a very low version as shown in the screenshot (Ideally, there would be an option to set the minimum quality – but that isn’t what this request is). When manually correcting the scanner’s choice, it would be nice to know the resolution of each image so I can choose the best. Currently, there is no way to tell from the selection which will be the best on a high-resolution device. …
