Serviio

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the image resolution on the mediabrowser. I have it set to High settings in console but I'd like to get the full resolution available. I have tried adding this line into application-profiles.xml under the html5 profile:

<LimitImageResolution>false</LimitImageResolution>

Restarting the serviio service didnt show any changes in image resolution. Is this adjustable?

Yes it is, but requires changing entries in two different files.

First, in the profiles.xml file (in the config folder). Find the third from last line in the generic profile (the one at the beginning). Notepad++ shows it as line 187. It says


Change the word DLNA to HD. That's step one.

This improves resolution, but you can make another change and set any resolution you desire. In the Bin folder, there is a file called "ServiioService.exe.vmoptions". This is a simple text file, so you can open it with Notepad or other text editor. You will find a single line in the file:
"-Xmx512m"

Right under that line, add this:


The number can be whatever you desire. If I remember correctly, the standard DLNA setting is something like 120. Changing the setting to HD increases it to 320. With mine on 1000, there's little to no pixelization to the images. Don't go crazy with the number, as it makes your database larger (the images are stored in the DB) and there's likely a limit to the resolution of the images available online anyway.

You may need to go into the console and in the Metadata section click "Rescan video metadata" to refresh the images.

The first option works for me, but on a Linux NAS, I can't find the 2nd option of: ServiioService.exe.vmoptions

I believe that it all converts to .sh files in Linux.

I can't find any that resembles "-Xmx512m" in any of the .sh files.....so I can't add anything to set the size anywhere.

Any thoughts on where to add this data to make it work?

Thanks.

there should be JAVA_OPTS variable set in the .sh script somewhere, with a bunch of -D parameters in it. Add your -Dxxxxx=yyyyy parameter to the list

So here is what I found in serviio.sh



So does this make sense below?



Thanks for the info!

Just as an FYI, my code change above worked.

I made the change on the NAS, restarted Serviio, rescan the library media, restarted server....gave it some time to index.

I had one image I noticed the original issue of low res, once completed, it was really sharp and clear in mediabrowser.

So this works in my particular case.

Thanks Zip for the help.
