Hello, I am using Dec 09 2007 XBMC build.
My AdvancedSettings.xml has this information.

<advancedsettings>
<thumbsize>512</thumbsize>
</advancedsettings>

All my thumbnails for videos are in .tbn format on a NAS box.

I deleted all records from XBMC/UserData/Thumbnails/Video/ directory.

When I started XBMC, it cached all the thumnails from NAS box to local drive. Unfortunately all the cached images look very poor when it displays on my 52 inch LCD screen. I have set XBMC to 1080i resolution.

When I compared the quality of thumbnail on the NAS server and on the XBMC local drive (cached by XBMC), it is totally different.

Here is an example.

http://maxupload.com/img/F8722702.jpg - cached thumbnail image from XBMC/UserData/Thumbnails/Video/ dir


http://maxupload.com/img/153E50DC.jpg - From my NAS server.


Why there is so much quality difference between the original image and the XBMC cached one?

thanks

There's a couple of options:

1. Your advancedsettings file isn't exactly what you state above, or isn't in userdata/
2. Your thumbnails contain EXIF thumbs. In this case, it's probably a simple fix of updating to a release after the 15th.

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply. I updated to Dec 22 build and the images are looking perfect. Thanks again
