Yay! Thank You guys! This is great. Now I'm waiting for Leia beta1. Smile   
Seems v18 is only reaching alpha1 stage at end of march. Hopefully should be quicker releases after that.

 Those dates are meaningless and can be changed to whatever fits our needs Wink

Please let us users decide wheter we want to have 1:1 copy of fetched fanart (so no JPG resize and no recompression). 4K TVs/display are popular and resized/recompressed fanart from 2160P to 1080P looks just bad. Sad

I checked Kodi's Wiki but as I mentioned before there is a limit to 1080P:
xml:
<advancedsettings>
  <imageres>1080</imageres>
  <fanartres>1080</fanartres>
</advancedsettings>

So I've poked in Kodi's code and found that imageres and fanartres are kept in these variables: m_fanartRes and m_imageRes. Searching for those vars got me here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/search?utf8...rtRes&type=

Please Kodi devs. Let us users have those beautiful, crisp fanart images on our 4K displays.

Edit: I know that there is one workaround. I can manually swap image after it is cached to thumbnails folder but for hundreds of movies this is no-can-do. Maybe there is some script that will automagically copy fanart.jpg from movie folder and copy it to appropriate thumbnails folder? (until Kodi will let us use higher resolution fanarts).

Ditto for jackets!
FYI, the current trend of pockets/jackets on TMDB : on average 1000x1500 p ; max 2000x3000 p (jpg)
Kodi : 100x150 p ??

Pretty much all new enthusiast-oriented TVs are 4K and have been for quite a while now, so improved 4K support in Kodi seems to me a priority. I guess video in 4K is working OK, but the GUI is somehow hardcoded for 1080p? It still works well, of course, but we all want that WOW-factor, right. Ah well, wishes and dreams. Wink

I am on the last version of Leila (09/04/2018), and look at the result by yourself ...

If you are talking about the poster art not being as good as the originals, then that is likely a completely different issue which is the downscaling algorithms used are rubbish and we would very much welcome someone stepping up and providing code to do this better.
