Album art resolution

[MKa71]

Hi,

Just bought my first Raspberry today and successfully installed MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify. Very cool piece of software, thank you!

One suggestion though: I noticed that the cover art pictures shown are not using the full resolution. If I open the same track on Spotify on my Android mobile phone or on an Apple iPad, the cover art photos shown are much sharper.

My plan is to create a framed cover art display on my living room wall and the only thing displayed is the album cover, kind of like you would have the 12" LP of the artist played shown. As the display will be quite large, a better resolution cover art photo would be nice...

Hey ik that this is old, but you can select the image resolution from the api response (Spotify response contains 3 sizes). In the node helper there is a function that enables you to do that: (chack the node_helper.js file)

getImgURL(images) {
    let filtered = images.filter((image) => {
      return image.width >= 240 && image.width <= 350; // Change here. I dont know the available resolutions, I think that the highest is 500*500
    });

Thanks @Fabrizz ! I was actually able to figure this out by myself a few days after posting by looking at the code. It just took some time as I haven't coded anything in about 20 years or so. :)

Now it looks the way I wanted.

Just wanna say that this is a super nice idea.

Thanks, it turned out quite like what I expected. It is built out of a 24" 16:9 TFT, which was teared down to make it thinner (ie. removing the lcd-panel and its control board from the plastic frame). Then building a wooden frame around it.

That nice, I have something similar! Maybe some (subtle) rgb lighting at the back? Using color data from the album
