Can Minimserver Resize Album Art?

This is possible but only with DLNA rather than UPnP. In the DLNA protocol, the <albumArtURI> tag has a dlna:profileID attribute that specifies whether the image is small, medium or large. This means that the server could send the control point multiple <albumArtURI> elements containing URIs for different image sizes.

The control point would then need to send all these <albumArtURI> elements to the renderer and the renderer would need to select the appropriate URI from these elements to match its image size capabilities. In theory, this could work if control points and renderers have full support for this capability but past experience leads me to doubt that this would be the case. I would want to verify this support with a few control points and renderers before doing the work to implement support for multiple image sizes in MinimServer.

MinimServer is already sending this dlna:profileID information (for a single image) so it is likely that the buggy renderer in question is not looking at this information before attempting to render the image.
