Hi all,
In case you have a high resolution output device (LCD/Plasma) you probably noticed that image plugin show low quality results even when the original image is a very high quality/resolution.
To fix it, replace the following lines in liboutput/encode.c file from: m_nWidth = 720; m_nHeight = m_bUsePAL ? 576 : 480;
to
m_nWidth = 1920; m_nHeight = 1080;
Or other output resolution if you don't have a full HD screen.
Developers of image plugin, it would be great to have those 2 parameters configurable for that plugin. Also, I've noticed the xinelibout (or OSD) stuck many times when I use image plugin.
And another improvement: Since image conversion takes lots of time (about 2-3 seconds on E6600) it will be great if the plugin will try to cache next or previous image (depends on user direction) in advance, so the switch will be instant.
Converting 9 images to show the 3x3 screen takes VERY long. Maybe should convert them to a very low resolution images to make is faster.
Beside that, thanks for a good plugin.
