F1nchy 24 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hi guys I've been downloading a load of movie art to use for genre icons, but I can't work out what the best dimensions are for each of the options. I've been using 4:3 for the main genre icons (Primary), which seems pretty accurate, but can anyone tell me what sizes I should be using for logo, thumb, banner, disc and Art under the Edit Images option? Also, are the same pictures/icons used for movie genres and the equivalent TV genre? ie the same one for Comedy movies and Comedy TV shows? If so, is there any way to have them different for TV and movies, or is it not possible? I was about to start doing the same for TV Shows and realised it has all the movie ones! I was hoping to be able to set different ones for TV shows! I'm mostly downloading wallpaper art or fanart from general free online sources and then just resizing them to the 4:3 - pretty happy with them so far in general.

You're using different image types/views, i.e. Primary vs. Thumbs. Genre images are lbrary/content-type agnostic and are shared across all libraries. Sure, you can assign different images to different images types, but you'd have to redo selection/preferred view for each user and on each client. But as a workaround sure, it's a viable one.

I'm using the 16/9 and 4/3 images availabe, with preview and thumb also being selectable on the Android TV client. It's the only way for I know of for separate images for TV and films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1nchy 24 Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 That actually sounds like a decent workable idea for me, we only have a handful of devices to reconfigure so it shouldn't take me too long to change them all. That's great, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1nchy 24 Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Ah, and what about best dimensions for images for each of logo, thumb, banner, disc and art? I'm presuming they're all intended to be different dimensions/aspects and depending on what each should be would have a bearing on which one I use for TV shows. Thanks again!

F1nchy 24 Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 (edited) Perfect, thank you.... I didn't think to look on Kodi site for Emby stuff! So which of those is primary the same as? Is that unique to Emby? Edited January 29 by F1nchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
