Springboard Screen Image

Hi all -

I have an app that takes a 4x3 image as the thumbnail image for both a roSpringboardScreen and a standard roPosterScreen. The roPosterScreen does some slight clipping on the image when it shows it and keeps the aspect ration intact, while the roSpringboardScreen simply compresses it and squashes it to fit in the box. I've tried all three versions of the SetPosterStyle method and the image always looks distorted. Thoughts as to options?

Thanks!

    The dimensions expected for the image are also dependent on the ContentType meta data value being specified:

    •Orientation for artwork is based on ContentType setting and may be portrait or landscape.
    •The audio springboard is capable of adding a progress bar.
    •If the ContentType is audio, the album art dimensions are:

    SD: 124 x 112
    HD: 188 x 188
    •If the ContentType is episode, the album art dimensions are:

    SD: 180 x 122
    HD: 264 x 198
    •If the ContentType is any other value, the album art dimensions are:

    SD: 112 x 142
    HD: 148 x 212

    Can you check what value you are setting?

    Hi RokuRobB -

    I'm not actually sure what the image size was, but I ended up using a 16x9 from the feed instead and found a way to get it to work. Thanks for getting back to me tho!
