Large posters have poor resolution quality on Android and Roku

[juanv44 0]

Hello, can yall help me figure out why Emby does not give me the same picture quality as Jellyfin when it comes to using posters in large format?  I can compare them side by side , with the same height and width for the posters on my televisions and it seems like emby takes a poster image that might look right with normal size posters and enlarges it so the quality degrades tremendously? Whereas jellyfin must use a higher quality photo or something. I have the same problem on emby for android and emby for roku.

 

 

Here is a photo from Jellyfin and Emby, using the same size, if you look at the people in the bus on the emby photo, you can't make out there faces whereas you can with jellyfin.

They are both using the same poster pulled from tmdb, the exact same size poster is pulled on both programs, size and all.

Hi, what is the original image resolution?

This should be addressed in the Roku app in its next release.
