The artist image seems to automatically toggle between a small circle shape and a larger rectangular banner. Is there a way of forcing one or the other on an per artist basis? Many of the artists I have in my collection I have added the pic manually and often lend themselves to the smaller pic only.
Thanks.
The display format for the artist image is dependent on the resolution of the image. HIgh resolution images are displayed as a banner, low resolution images are displayed as a circle. The only way to control that is to add a high resolution image. As you know, many artists (particularly older ones) don’t have high res images available. So you will likely be stuck with a mix.
Thanks for the response David. For low res images I’d prefer the image to stay as a small circle but it doesn’t. It alternates between banner and small circle. For the same artist. It’s this behavior I don’t like, the image is either too low res or poorly positioned as a banner.
Not sure how that works for you. I couldn’t duplicate that behavior. Where are you seeing those two screen shots?
I get the same. If you find an artist with a low res image and then click on that artist, a circular image is brought up. If you go backwards and then click on the same artist, a full size image is brought up. If you go backwards again and click on the same artist for a third time, the circular image returns. This carries on in the same pattern.
Ah, I see. I think Roon has gone to the trouble to make both of these formats available. Seems like more trouble than it’s worth, but certainly working as intended I think.
Correct on the resolution. I don’t know how high res it needs to be, but it seems that horizontally, it needs to be in the 900-1000 range. I wish they would allow in-Roon editing of the image, especially when Roon goes to the circle mode, so I can determining what part of the picture shows, and how big the circle or rectangle is. I hate when i get heads only partially showing. “OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!”
Yes that’s exactly the behaviour. A “banner” or “circle” option per artist would be ideal. Either that or a fixed regime controlled by resolution. But this alternating behavior is distracting.
