I just had a brain fart.

I've spent a lot of time making Movie & TV Show posters for my library at a 1000 px X 1500 px, 72 dpi resolution, they look great. I just realized that when they're displayed on the Information screen (the largest view possible) they're rendered at 720 px X 1080 px (see pic).



Would I be better off rendering them at that resolution so that Kodi doesn't re-size them? Or will Kodi manipulate them anyway?

My advancedsettings .xml file looks like this:

<advancedsettings version="1.0">
    <imageres>9999</imageres>
    <fanartres>9999</fanartres>
<videolibrary>
    <episodeextraart>
        <arttype>fanart</arttype>
        <arttype>landscape</arttype>
    </episodeextraart>
    <exportautothumbs>false</exportautothumbs>      <!-- Export auto-generated thumbs. Default = false. Change to true to allow export -->
       <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>  <!-- Import Last Played and Play Counts. Default = false. Change to true to allow import -->
       <importresumepoint>true</importresumepoint>    <!-- Import Resume Points. Default = false. Change to true to allow import -->
</videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

Thanks in advance!

It is good to keep the larger image files if you set "imageres" and "fanartres" in AS.xml to roughly the size they will be displayed most often. The last-step image scaling from "imageres" to final display size does not downsize images nicely, oftentimes a cause of "jaggies".
