Hello,
Here's a quick tip for improving your thumbnail/image quality. I made this change because the PIL default JPEG quality if not specified is 75 and I think it produces poor quality images in many cases, especially when there's text in the image such as podcast art.
Modify the following file:
/mediacore/mediacore-0.9.1/mediacore/lib/thumbnails.py
Change line 222 from:
thumb_img.save(path)To (95 being your desired image quality):
thumb_img.save(path, quality=95)
good idea. How much bigger are your files (on average) with the improved quality? I think I'll add that in the next release.
Well, if I remember correctly, they are nearly double in some cases, but still not that big of files. That was with a setting of 95. I believe even 90 would look really good and significantly cut down the file size.
This would be a great setting to add to the admin panel at some point when you have nothing better to do. ;)
I'd do it myself if I were capable in python.
finally pushed ...
