I shrunk the MediaCenter
« on: January 11, 2023, 02:18:06 pm »

I am running MediaCenter 30.0.48 on Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon.  Previously, I'd been running MediaCenter on Linux Mint 20, then Linux Mint 21.  In these previous versions MediaCenter appeared properly.  However, when I upgraded to Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon, the entire user interface shrank. It roughly halved in size, much like happens in a multi-monitor set up when you drag something that looks right at 1080p on to a 4K monitor.

I have been able to offset part of the problem using the view menu:  View > Size > 175%.  This appears to "correct" everything's size but for my album thumbnails which remain "miniaturized."  See attached screenshot.

For what it is worth, window resizing has also become a little unstable; it works sometimes, but sometimes I must restart MediaCenter to get it to work.

The sound is working fine, which is the point, at least for me.  I don't use the video side of MediaCenter.  I do not know if these anomalies would concern it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated regarding my display's integrity.   It is beginning to feel like there might be a regression appearing, but I have no way of knowing that.  I would ask that you consider a flatpak or appimage for future editions.  It is purported to reduce the wac-a-mole regression management problem across distros.

Thanks for your kind consideration.

The thumbs in the album list size can be changed by the slider in the upper right of that window.
A flatpack wouldn't change anything here. MC doesn't care about the desktop, window manager, etc. It talks to the X server directly.
