Thumbnail quality... (1 Viewer)

[Psycho Reptile]

Ok, so here's a little thing that's been bugging me for quite some time. It seems the quality of the MovPics thumbs is pretty poor (ie: thumbnail view) Details view is perfect.
I think I read somewhere that only small thumbs were generated... Currently, I use infranview to batch process all the original (stored in Thumbs\MovingPictures\Covers\FullSize) covers to 340x500 (half the default TVDB series poster size). It's the best size for me, without any noticable performance difference, running Mustayaluca at design res of 1920x1080.
Could this please be looked into?

Yeah, this is something I have thought about a bit lately as well. By default cover thumbnails are sized to a width of 175 and whatever height to maintain the aspect ratio and amazingly this is not reconfigurable in advanced settings. Both the fullsize and thumbnail version of the cover is available to the skin, but in the facade the thumbnail is used. I will have to think about what to do on this, but I have two options floating around in my head:

1) Increase the default size, plus make this user configurable.
2) Or allow the skin to specify the size of thumbnails desired and on first use with a given skin, thumbnails are generated in the background.

Thoughts?

I'd definately go with option 1 User configures what size looks good for him/her and forgets about it Option 2 seems overly complicated.
