I have high resolution cover art (1200x1200)

When I request an image using the web service :

http://xxxxx/MCWS/v1/File/GetImage?File=936435&Type=Full&Width=1600&Height=1600&Format=png&Token=PW5J4NTI&FillTransparency=F9F9F9

I get a 400x400 image (format = png or jpg)

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ?

You're requesting a thumbnail.

Use Type=Full on the URL to get the full image.  Expect this to be at least an order of magnitude slower.

my example URL above contains type=Full and I still get 400x400 ?

That's a reading fail by me.  Let me test...

[Matt]

I get the full size image on Type=Full.  I tried internal cover art and a sidecar PNG file.

I simplified the URL to

http://xxx/MCWS/v1/File/GetImage?File=936435&Type=Full&Token=PW5J4NTI

and I still get 400x400 ?

note that playing now -> cover art looks fine...

I don't know if it matters but I have mp3 with external Folder.jpg (1200x1200)

What's in the 'Image File' field in MC?

Is the MCWS server also a Library Server Client?  Or anything else special?

Image File : Folder.jpg

yes, the MCWS server is also a library server client.


note also that playing now -> cover art looks fine on the MCWS server (which is a library server client)

1)

I found some weird timing issue

If I call this Browse/Image URL immediately after the last MCWS call (e.g.  Browse/Children )

http://xx/MCWS/v1/Browse/Image?ID=1081&Width=1600&Height=1600&Token=PW5J4NTI

then I get an image 400x400

but If I wait about 2-3 seconds, then I get the correct 1600x1600 image ?

This happens when the MCWS server is a library server client AND ALSO when I connect directly to the library server itself.

2)

also MCWS/v1/File/GetImage?File=...&Type=Full.... doesn't work at all for audio or video when MCWS server is a library server client

3)

When I connect directly to the library server and use GetImage?File=...&Type=Full.... all is ok.
no timing issues or thumbnail problem


as a workaround, I now get the album cover directly from the library server using GetImage?File=...&Type=Full.... while still getting the rest from the MCWS server (a library server client )


attached pictures show difference between (upscaled) thumbnail and full when screen resolution is 1920x1200
(I use this on a nexus 10 tablet which is 2560x1600)
