There is no single optimal source-art size: rendered cover dimensions vary by display resolution, grid shape, list/detail layout, and device pixel density. Users should retain good-quality source artwork rather than manually pre-scaling every image.
Implemented pipeline
- Frontend calculates cover requirements from actual grid and detail viewport geometry.
- Grid and detail views request independent image sizes.
- Frontend sends bounded
media.image requests through maxSize.
- Core snaps requests to bounded thumbnail tiers:
32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 768.
- Core resizes once and caches lossy WebP thumbnails.
- MiSTer can consume Core-owned local thumbnail paths instead of transferring base64 payloads.
- Frontend caches decoded images in process memory with a strict 128 MiB LRU cap.
This keeps transferred and decoded images close to their rendered size without sacrificing detail-pane quality or requiring users to maintain device-specific artwork copies.
