Low quality fanart/icons
#1
Friends

Forgive me if this has been posted before but I've searched the internet high and low and can't seem to find a solution has works so far.

I love my Pi. I love XBMC. But why does my awesome media center have to suffer from crappy pixelated artwork? If I can crack this problem I'm going to be very happy indeed, but nothing has worked so far.

Thanks

Check advancedsettings.xml for:
<fanartres>512</fanartres>
<imageres>256</imageres>

Removing (or making them larger) will make the cached artwork larger. After changing you will want to remove the old artwork:
rm ~/.xbmc/userdata/Database/Textures*.db
rm -rf ~/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails

and restart xbmc.

Note that you may run into memory issues, especially on a 256M Pi when these are larger.

Thanks... this does appear to work. However, any idea why it reverts back to low quality after another reboot?
