UI scaling issues

[jorys-paulin]

Hello!

The Moonlight UI seems to be scaled weirdly, as if it's running at 4K (on a 1080p monitor) and at 50% scale, so everything looks tiny, especially the icons of the top bar.

I've tried to use the new "EGL resolution" option, but that didn't change anything. I haven't been able to launch Moonlight from a terminal to see if it's related to the plugin or Moonlight itself.

I'm running LibreELEC 11.0.4 (downloaded from the Raspberry Pi imager), which is apparently running Kodi 20.2.0. I'm running version 0.4.3 of the plugin.

Hi, scaling the UI is a bit of a balancing act. Because the Pi has no window manager we have to hint scaling values using three environment variables:

QT_SCALE_FACTOR
QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH
QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT

For the long version see https://github.com/veldenb/plugin.program.moonlight-qt/issues/11.

Scaling the UI too small and stuff becomes unreadable, scaling the UI to big leads to a cut-off configuration page or UI artifacts.

Since last time I changed the scaling factor it looks like the configuration page got somewhat denser, so I could scale the UI somewhat larger: https://github.com/veldenb/plugin.program.moonlight-qt/commit/09d464d7f4f7ada31547f5df2a3fa61ab8e3c0c6.

Can you try installing the latest version to check if the UI looks somewhat better? Feel free to try fiddling with the variables yourself, the current values are the best I could find.

Hello! Thanks for your response.

Here's how the build looks like on my 1080p screen, the scaling looks correct now:

I wasn't able to test at 4K or 720p however, maybe the scaling is broken there now.

I checked those and they look the same on my TV as your screenshot. The new scaling will be included in the next release :)
