Setting resolution for picture scaling?
Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2008 5:07 pm
I'm running Twonky 4.4.9 on my NAS: QNAP TS-409 Pro. It stores (amongst others) my digital pictures (8Mpixel, 3-4 Mbyte each).
My client is an HDX-1000 (Networked Media Tank -- Syabas middleware).
When playing the pictures through Twonky with rescaling enabled this plays fine (and fast!). However, resolution is a bit low to my taste (JPEG_SM, i.e. VGA?). I see a lot of blocking and aliasing. My screen is 720p.
When disabling rescaling the NMT won't play the pictures when selected from the CDS.
However, I can play the unscaled pictures perfectly thru Samba (i.e. bypassing Twonky). Looks a lot better, but very very slow to render (screen goes black for quite a few seconds between any two consecutive pictures).
Therefore my questions:
* Why won't non-scaled pictures play thru Twonky? Obviously, the NMT is capable of decoding. How are they signalled? I don't think any DLNA media format applies.
* Can I reconfigure the Twonky scaler to output more pixels and bits? E.g. JPEG_LRG would be fine? If so, how to do that? If not, wouldn't this be a useful feature?
