Is that really too small? it has not changed significantly recently.

[daedalus 430]

sure it has, poster and episode images used to be as large as on the webclient

[Happy2Play 9450]

Desktop ET looks similar to Web client to me, but other areas are scaled larger.  Both cropped from full screen.

oh for sure, forgot to mention its wrong only in TV mode, desktop and mobile have normal big posters

Oops sorry, well then I would have to say ET it larger in TV mode

[daedalus 430]

it's not about webclient tv mode vs ET tv mode, poster are smaller in tv mode than they should be and were in the past

simply just fix it, it's clear bug

I would say the scaling for Poster is not the same as all other items on that screen, when cast is larger then poster.  But all this is personal observations and will be different for everyone.

[daedalus 430]

sure the scaling for poster is wrong, thats what this thread is about

ET tv mode used to look like this

now looks like this

there is zero room for interpretation, "new" poster size on a "10ft design" is smaller than the cast images just below? and smaller than for the design to sit just in front of it?

why i even have to clarify this?

you really don't see, that that size is different from what it should be? if yes my point in the first post seems waay more acurrate that it was intended

[Happy2Play 9450]

To me that is stretched and distorted though.

Yes, it's too small.

In the new mobile app for android, it's what it should be.

mobile android in widescreen has the same small poster (no poster in portrait mode), dont know why this should be the way to go for the big screen

or have i missed a "new android mobile app" ?

 

we still dont know if the small poster for tv mode is intended or not, would be nice to finally know, before we come up with new ideas

The cover height is about the same size as the information text. It's nice and clear. As it is now, there's a lot of odd space around the cover. I think for me, it's less about the actual size and more about how it looks at that size, in that position. It looks uneven and out of place. Disorganized. If it's going to be that size, move it to the opposing corner (bottom right). Slide the text to the left edge.

In this app

 

[daedalus 430]

so, suprise, big posters, as before and everywhere else

 

new app has no visual difference to the release

As none android user I personally don't like how its design influences every platform/client.

[daedalus 430]

me too, but the easy way is the way they go here

Yes, I agree. But in the case of the new mobile app, for TV, it's exactly the same at Theater, or was until the poster size changed

[daedalus 430]

oh great, so the android TV app got the look of ET (easy way)

so hope that is just all it gets and not also the neglection and the lack of features we struggle with for years

[daedalus 430]

person detail has the same small images

ET:

 

Webclient:

No, that is the Android Mobile app that now works on Android TV devices, within reason.
