Album art when playing tracks from home music share

[johan.pretorius]

Hi all - I've recently bought a WiiM Mini, and am quite impressed with the unit.

There is just one issue: album art when playing a track via Home Music Share is out of focus. The library is on an Ubuntu PC, using MiniDLNA, and I'm using the WiiM Home application on an iPhone. It happens with any type of image, all of the track images are out of focus.

The same album art from Tidal is being displayed normally and in focus.

Maybe it's some sort of soft focus filter... I hope the music's not blurry too!
Wonder if it's a resizing issue.
Just had a v. quick check of a few album images via the wiim app / home share, and I don't see such blurring.

Best using the Wiim home app feedback section to report this as a potential bug - you can attach images to your ticket submission.

Well, seems as if miniDLNA server was the culprit. I installed Kodi, and the images are now in focus.
