For those having the low quality fan art issues, can you try editing your /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml.

Change the following lines:
After that remove your database and rescan/scrape the fanart.

weird..and you have nothing suspicious in logs ?
to be honest, not sure what may causing this..maybe your network connection ? what scraper did you use to scan your media with ?

I don't know if I have anything suspicious in my logs, because I don't know what to look for.

The scrapers I use are The TVDB and the default one for movies (don't know the name right now). But like I said, it's weird because I didn't have this problem in the past.. My connection's fine.

One more thing: The background art that is loaded is high quality. But the art on the right side of the library is low-quality 'pixely'. Same for TV shows.

I've been using Alpha 5 for a few days now and find it's working well. I've replaced an aging HTPC that struggled with 1080p, had a noisy fan, and was power hungry. I now leave xbian on all the time. I also built a GPIO to RS232 cable to connect to my TV so I can change TV inputs with a button press.

I like the xbian logo on boot, but I think a smoother font or graphic is needed for the "loading..." and "starting xbmc..." text.

Thanks again! Looking forward to the next release.

Change the following lines:

Code:

<fanartres>540</fanartres> to <fanartres>720</fanartres>
<imageres>256</imageres> to <imageres>540</imageres>

After that remove your database and rescan/scrape the fanart.

How do I remove the database? Is that just deleting both folders and add them again?

what makes you think that the card is full? how did you check this ? can you give us more details please ?

I'm having an issue with my portable HDD. I think it's an A5 bug because my HDD worked great with A4. Here is my original thread: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-550.html

df -h gives me this:

while cfdisk show a 7.9G ext4 partition and a small vfat partition

i deleted all existing partitions on my SD and then did a dd of the .img file

Koenkk, thanks for the hint but it didn't help. I modified advancedsettings.xml as suggested, changed the content type to "none", saved, cleaned the database, changed back to "universal scraper" and the same low resolution posters and fanart got fetched.

I will give the standard scraper a try tonight, maybe it's something relating to the universal scraper add-on.

Cheers,

so when you add source and scan your media to library and than from main menu you go to Movies(not Videos) and you switch view to specific,you still dont see fanart and booklets are in lowres ?
