pünktchen 1259 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Why do you trim the channel images to the actual logo size? No matter what kind of image i provide - transparent png, jpg with white backround, fixed aspect ratio or not - it always looks terrible ugly in the web interface or Android TV or both. Some pictures to illustrate what i mean (there are more bad samples): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00zah 128 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 If you're willing to spend some time, I found this online image editor that allowed me to massage my existing logos, as well as making a few custom items I was missing, or didn't like. http://www169.lunapic.com/editor/ Ended up cropping & resizing them all to a consistent 215 x 75. They look pretty good in both WMC & Emby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1259 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 I wouldn't call TNT with an ellipse instead of circle pretty good, but each to his own My logos are all the same size in 16:9 landscape, but Emby is cropping them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00zah 128 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) The format was mainly intended for WMC, but as you say, "each to his own". I'll take an occasional misshapen circle over the random cropping any day. The 'On Now' page drives me nutz, but at least here, I can impose a little order. Hope you manage to work it out.

pünktchen 1259 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 I can trick Emby by drawing a thin rectangle as image border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37100 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Transparent png should come out fine however if it is white background then it should come out the same as it went in. Also we are applying it to jpg when we shouldn't be so i'll correct that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pünktchen 1259 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 what image format are these? JPG or PNG with white background. Because of all the recent changes to live tv images and because my tv plugins don't provide program images, i'm now doing my own image processing.

This is what the mobile app, theater and the web apps are using. Most of the TV Channel images I have seen are not square. But with the server cutting out all the white space now, I need to change something to make them look better outside the guide (the guide is fine still). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
