What resolution do my video poster frames need to be? They show at ≈half size.

Spoiler
I clearly need to re-do the poster frames for many of these, unless there is something I am not passing correctly in the JSON?

If the former, what is the optimal resolution they need to be at, and if the latter what part of the fine manual did I miss?

Unrelated rant, this 48-hour publish-to-see-your-results-on-the-device loop is tedious (when we had our channel unpublished, it simply would not display any media, and there didn't seem to be any way to resolve it...)

Thanks, will give this a try. Question: is there a way to get roku to scale what it has to fit? That would save a ton of effort...

For us, it is actually more complicated, our images live out on a CDN and are generated in code, which I just figured out is generating that postage stamp looking image by rendering the original size image centered in a 1920x1080 black rectangle. 🤦‍♂️ Bug submitted, thanks for prompting me to dig to the bottom of it… 👍
