pir8radio 1292 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) The images for the web gui, on mobile or very small screen sizes, look horrible.. They used to look great, this happened quite a few versions ago, I was hoping it was a test.. Can the settings for smaller screens not use as highly compressed images, please?

pir8radio 1292 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Soooooo..... Just to be clear... When browsing my emby server via any small screened web browser device, the images USED to look like this, but they now look like the previous post, which are unreadable, unless you kinda' know what the cover looks like....

bfir3 113 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wow, that's a crazy difference. It's been so long since I've updated Emby but I really want to do it soon as there's a lot of nice database and playback improvements in newer builds.

shorty1483 450 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 So basically, you want the name of the item to appear under the item? No, in latest server version the images look blurry and unsharp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6766 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 So web client on mobile, or the Emby (Android) App ?? I don't have an issue on either. What quality are the images on the server ?? I have 1920 x 1080 images set to download on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) So web client on mobile, or the Emby (Android) App ?? I don't have an issue on either. What quality are the images on the server ?? I have 1920 x 1080 images set to download on the server. Web Client on mobile... they look fine on web browser large screens.. there is some logic in emby server compressing or shrinking the images for smaller web browsers.. its over doing it for very small (mobile) screens... Here is a proof that it is over shrinking the images based on screen size, The first image was a screenshot with my phone in the vertical position.. I then rotated my phone reloaded emby, then tilted the phone back vertical for the second image.. The wider format allowed better images to load... If i keep the phone in vertical position and reload, the images go to $hit again. All i'm asking is there to be a limit on how small emby will shrink the images for small browser windows, its shrinking to the point where it looks like crap.. I am testing on Iphone using safari browser if someone wants to confirm this.. Normal vertical screen shot: This screen shot was taken when i loaded emby with my phone sideways (horizontal) then tipped back vertical. With loading emby up on the larger horizontal starting point it doesn't shrink the images as much, its a noticeable difference between the two.. Look at the star wars cover.... So my request is to limit how small emby is allowed to shrink the server images when serving to a small screen. This wasn't always like this..

pir8radio 1292 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Here is a better example, showing that emby resizes images based on screen size.. two browser windows on the same screen, one smaller than the other, I am receiving two different image sizes from the server... This is fine, works great, Its just shrinking them too much on ios web browsers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14905 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 So, the actual issue here is that the images are not re-retrieved when you change orientation on the device...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 So, the actual issue here is that the images are not re-retrieved when you change orientation on the device...? No the issue is that on a very small screen emby is serving TOO small of an image, making it practically un-readable. By turning the display sideways and reloading, emby serves slightly larger images, then when i rotate back vertical the images are readable. So the actual issue is that emby is allowed to serve too small of images to the iphone web browser making them unreadable. If that isn't as clear as mud... :-) in post http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/33588-mobile-web-small-screen-gui-looks-pretty-bad/&do=findComment&comment=324543 you can not read the top line in the mocking jay poster, But by tricking emby into thinking i have a larger browser window (by loading sideways first) the images get sent to the browser slightly larger, just enough to make that top line readable (second image in that post). So my request is can we put a CAP on how small those images are allowed to be shrunk, so the GUI looks pretty and clear.. maybe no smaller than 200px on the smallest side of the image will be served no matter how small the screen is?..

pir8radio 1292 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 So still an issue in the latest beta..... movie posters look bad in safari on the iphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Can someone at least point me to the JS file that is calculating the image size/quality for the safari browser, based on screen size for the movie posters, so I can change it? Changing the safari quality from 50 to 80 to match the native app helped a bit, but the images are still being scaled too small for the smaller screens. getDefaultImageQuality: function (imageType) {var quality = 90;var isBackdrop = imageType.toLowerCase() == 'backdrop';if (isBackdrop) {quality -= 10;}if (AppInfo.hasLowImageBandwidth) {// The native app can handle a little bit more than safariif (AppInfo.isNativeApp) {quality -= 10;} else {quality -= 40; // changed to -10 to match above, looks better still too blurry, larger images would help.}}return quality;} Edited May 28, 2016 by pir8radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Funny I found this post because I was just thinking about this today when I pulled the web client up in my iPhone. Low resolution images load into the UI. But, that isn't my biggest problem, what about the fact that the wrong cover images for movies are being loaded into the UI when loading the small column for small devices? The link is proper, but the image is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link is proper, but the image is wrong This has been answered in other threads. The more we increase image quality the more that problem is going to occur. Apple has very strict memory consumption limits, so strict that the only solution is to build customized layouts solely for Safari that put less images on screen at once. I do not know when we might be able to do that, as I'd rather just see future updates to safari improve the situation. Right now the solution is use the iOS app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I had the app, but my users can not use the app without paying, even though i'm a lifetime... My users are not on the same network... I mean i could setup a vpn for them to activate the app... but it shouldn't be that hard.. Can someone post a link to these other threads... I didn't see anything obvious. why does everything work fine when i load the page horizontal then flip vertical just so i can use the higher res images loaded when in horizontal mode? I guess I don't get the difference???..... flip horz reload emby flip back vert images look fine. Edited May 29, 2016 by pir8radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
