Thanks

Thanks, but my picture is 1080x1080...
So DNLA is limited to a maximum of 320x320 ?

When I do this the thumbnail resolution is markedly improved. Be aware that every time you install a new version of Serviio this file is replaced, so you have to go back in and add the line again, as well as changing DLNA to HD in the generic profile.
Just remember that those images are stored in the database, so increasing the resolution makes the file size larger, so the database will take more space. Just looked at my test server, and with 607 videos the database is about 73 MB. Not huge, but when you get into the 1000s of media titles, it might be something to keep in mind.

Also, once you've made the change you have to tell Serviio to rescan video metadata (on the metadata console tab) to refresh the images. Just changing the setting doesn't alter the metadata that has already been downloaded.

I downloaded Universal Media Server for comparison. Playing the same file in UMS the album art is crystal clear so it's something that must be fixable. This is the one aspect of Serviio that is disappointing. It is otherwise an awesome program.

I will raise a change request to simplify the task and ensure it carries over across updates:-
- a new permanent Serviio HD profile would be useful
- an option to customise the size for HD thumbnails in the Serviio console
- an option to force the generation of the higher resolution artwork for existing files (if necessary).
