RE: Can Minimserver Resize Album Art?
Thanks for looking into that. The BeoSound 5 is essentially windows xp embedded so I would assume that the control point and renderer are on the same box as it renders the image on its display.

Ah that would explain why them come through fuzzy, imo 160x160 is too low. It is annoying that they don't let you change it. I don't use it anyway as MinimServer is the only program that handles transcoding of my ALAC files correctly.

Yeah, synology don't let you make custom profiles which is another annoyance. I do still think that providing these caveated solutions can be beneficial if you understand the limitations.

Apologies for pushing this, it is just that this is the only thing preventing me from having the perfect streaming solution to my device. I would happily accepts the limitations in setting a 500x500 artwork profile for that device as I would never need the images to render any higher. But again I understand the issue with implementing so many bespoke solutions to handle vendors inconsistencies.

Could you maybe provide us a way to script this hack in or add an api to create custom plugins, etc?
