[REQUEST] Larger poster in files view when 'now playing' is not in use
#1
I'm running this skin on an apple tv, so I'm using files view as poster view is choppy (probably because it has to load all posters at once). The down side of this is that the posters are much smaller. I understand the reason for this is the 'now playing' area in the bottom left, but is it possible to have larger posters when this isn't being used? As far as I remember it used to do this in the early versions of the skin. I'd love to see the posters in their full glory!

On a related note, what's the best format for tv and movie posters? I'm trying to get optimal speed, so I've resized them for my 720p tv, but I remember reading once that bitmap was faster despite the larger filesize, is this true?

Many thanks

The File view will be getting an overhaul soon so stay tuned.

As for the posters it doesn't really matter what size they are as they get cached by XBMC anyway. If you're having trouble try reducing the thumb size -

Ok thanks for replying hitcher, I look forward to the new files view (with hopefully larger posters).
