Bad artwork quality on Android tablet

Posted by: Kurt L on 29 May 2015

Hi All,

 

I've both a SONOS and ND5 XS music streamer, using the same music files and artwork stored on my NAS.

 

I've both the SONOS app and the ND5 XS app on an Android Samsung Tab 4 tablet computer.

When using the SONOS app, the artwork in (almost) fullscreen mode is of very good quality. The same image on the ND5 app looks very unsharp and cluttered.

 

My artwork is represented as a folder.jpg file with at least 400x400 pixels, typically 500x500 pixels.

 

Are you experiencing the same?

 

Thanks,

k

I believe it first looks for embededded artwork, and when that's not present, for a folder.jpg in the directory;

 

I use the FLAC format, and there is no embedded artwork in my tracks.

I get the same with the iOS app when the UPnP Compatibility Mode is on (checked)

Does Android have this mode ??   if so turn it off & see how that works

Yes, Android has this settings as well. It was already off. So, no change
