Sizing a Poster from a larger image

Question

Hello,I've been working on a project for a while, and I'm trying to use animation to fade between Posters.&nbsp; That part works.&nbsp; I'm having problems properly sizing the Posters...I test on HD, and on SD.&nbsp; The HD works, but the scaling produces poor image quality.&nbsp; In SD, the image is not scaled at all to the right size.If I set the image to m.top.backgroundURI , scaling works perfectly.&nbsp; In SD....&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;Poster id="P1" translation="[0,0]" loadDisplayMode="scaleToFit" /&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; di = CreateObject("roDeviceInfo")&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;DS = di.GetDisplaySize()&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;m.DisplaySize_h = DS["h"]&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;m.DisplaySize_w = DS["w"]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; m.P1.height = m.DisplaySize_h&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;m.P1.width = m.DisplaySize_w&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;m.P1.uri = m.url&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;print m.P1.height&nbsp;&nbsp; ' 480&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;print m.P1.width&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ' 720The image is smashed to the upper left...If I set &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;Poster id="P1" translation="[0,0]" loadDisplayMode="scaleToFit" width="1280" height="480" /&gt;and not use the sizing code I added, the image is centered...What am i doing wrong?&nbsp; I have a small zip of the app available..Thanks!

If you are specifying sd,hd,fhd then you'll have to handle all the resolutions yourself.&nbsp; It's much easier to simply specify hd and treat every screen as 1280x720 for setup and let roku resize it for you automagically.

Have you tried adding ui_resolutions=hd to your manifest? &nbsp;You should be able to just design for HD and let the firmware handle scaling for other resolutions.-JT

You must always have a width and height included to use to loadDisplayMode properly.

What you may want to do is something similar to this:

loadDisplayMode="scaleToFit"
width="1280" 'the actual width 
height="480" 'the actual width
loadWidth="690" 'the actual width you want to load 
loadHeight="240" 'the actual height you want to load

Hello JT,Yes, I have also tried fhd...Here is my manafest file..title=DSmajor_version=1minor_version=0build_version=00000mm_icon_focus_hd=pkg:/images/mm_icon_focus_hd.pngmm_icon_focus_sd=pkg:/images/mm_icon_focus_sd.pngsplash_screen_sd=pkg:/images/splash_screen_sd.pngsplash_screen_hd=pkg:/images/splash_screen_hd.pngsplash_screen_fhd=pkg:/images/splash_screen_fhd.pngsplash_color=#01A3E9splash_min_time=1000#ui_resolutions=sd,hdui_resolutions=sd,hd,fhd#splash_rsg_optimization=1 If I don't set a size to Poster (in the tag, or programmatically), the image is full resolution, off the screen.&nbsp; I've tried variouloadDisplayMode settings, too.I'm just scratching my head.[/color]
