@panni 7.1b is working on Shield #2.
WTF, OK, then thatās new to beta8. Iāll definitely need logs via DM.
Edit: Do you have the cache enabled by any chance?
Edit 2: Found it, fixing ā¦
Hey so under display settings I have CoreELEC set to 3840x2160p (4K) and refresh rate at 60.00hz. Itās been that way since I installed coreELEC on my Ugoos, so unfortunately not sure how it compares to your setup at 120hz refresh rate. Feels snappy enough to me at 3840x2160p and 60hz though. Did you follow the CoreELEC forums for some of the speed enhancements they recommended (eMMC Speed Mode etc)?
As for posters I just download them manually and store them inside my movie folder as āposterā for the cover, and āfanartā for the background image. That way I get to choose if I want special Steelbook cover art, 4K artwork or the original movie artwork etc for each movie. Iām OCD about artwork so I hate ugly cover art lol. Here are some of my favorite sites for HQ movie artwork. TheposterDB is especially great if you want matching sets for movie series and TV series.

I heard Kometa is great for deeper metadata editing, but have not tried it yet.

A lot of regression fixing-forward today. But hey, āwo gehobelt wird, fallen SpƤneā (as in: āYou canāt make an omelette without breaking eggs.ā).
@travelar should be fixedā¢

OK that took a while but the results are - no discernable differences between any of the algorithms. Since I have no idea which one is used by default, I just removed that line now.
JPG quality, I went straight to 0. No difference in thumbnails, but a nice little bump in the background art, so Iāll leave that in.
At this point itās good enough for me. Itās no longer sticking out like a sore thumb as crappy upscaled graphics.
And yes I cleared everything and rebooted in between tests.
Thanks
Can you make out a difference between 0 and 1? Iām about to update the wiki, but I guess 0 could be 100% quality (which doesnāt make any sense compared to 92% for example), and the thumbnails might be HUGE in size.
@panni Confirmed fixed. Thank you!
I have a couple of feature requests for your consideration. In said folder structure that you just fixed, I typically operate in list view as it provides some sort of sorting. Some of my folders contain a hundred or more files.
- Could we get a sort by filename?
- If we canāt sort by filename, could we get a quick jump to the bottom? Most of the kodi skins Iāve used pressing up at the top of the list pushes it to the bottom. I realize this a bit trickier with the libraries at the top. But if I could sort by filename, that I could sort Z-A and this would be less of an issue. Most of these files are date stamped, so getting to the newest as Iām working on them is what Iām looking for. Sorting by title isnāt quite working the way I expect.
I will try 1 now, and compare a already high res thumbnail, see what each setting gives for a size and difference. Iāll do it for the default of 4 also.

lol I donāt even need to test. At 0, they are all between 50 and 90kb. Tiny.
Check, wiki updated. Thanks for testing!
Edit: Just to make sure @kaelaria, you deleted your textures13.db and thumbnails folder before testing this, right?
I can see a bit more detail on the ATV if I get really close to the TV, however no discernible difference from normal viewing distance. If you have an 83ā depending on how far away you are I guess that would be more noticeable.
Nice, thanks for testing. Just as information, this is some explanation by ChatGPT about those algorithms. ChatGPT - Best Image Scaling Algorithms
Based on this, I guess quality-wise the best would be bicubic (which is anyway default) or bicubic-spline.
Thatās very dependent on what youāre doing (reducing the size or increasing the size). Lanczos (which is a type of bicubic I think) and Spline can be extremely good compared to others when reducing the size of stuff. Not sure what the default bicubic algorithm in Kodi is.
Plain bicubic can often add āringingā.
Yep, back in the seat, itās good enough.
correct
My guess is, these images are so small itās just irrelevant.
