albumart resizing quality

[fabiwan]

hello,

The quality of resized albumart is quite ugly.
And nobody wants to resize all its pictures in order to have the right and nice size.

Is there any parameter that sets the resizing quality of images with a kind of antialiasing?

I don't know of such a parameter (there is probably no such a thing). But if you want to code the skin, that resizes smoothly, you may use layerfx functions in maki scripts.

the script should look something like that:

code:


Global layer CoverArtLayer;



OnScriptLoaded()

  {

        CoverArtLayer = System.getscriptGroup().GetObject("id");

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setGridSize(1,1);

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setBgFx(0);

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setWrap(0);

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setBilinear(1);

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setRect(0);

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setClear(0);

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setLocalized(1);

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setRealtime(1);

	CoverArtLayer.fx_setEnabled(1);

  }

depends on the source size/quality imo, if for example you get the larger cover say from amazon then the quality will obviously be better than the default medium or small when resized
the layerfx isnt going to help that much with bilinear setting if stretching a small image compared to a large image

On the skin I use, the albumart is 100/100 so it never has to be stretched.

I've tried the layer_fx, it works quite well for the 2 first covers, but then it just does some weird visuals, sometimes wrong cover with half a picture and half another.

Not a success so far...
