Moment - BeoMusic - Album Cover resolution

How can you improve the resolution of the Album covers on the Moment/BeoMusic. All my covers are embedded on my NAS drive - but the Moment/BeoMusic seems to present them as jaggy images - as though they have been upscaled rather than downscaled.

 

Any ideas?

Have you seen this thread ?

It may have clues.

High resolution artwork is not recognized if it is stored in NAS

Apologies that the App does not allow me to select it as a link

NAS drives following the DLNA standard do down size the artwork to 200*200 pixels before delivering to the DLNA client (BeoSound Moment or the like).

Twonky based NAS drives (like QNAP and iOmega) do down size the artwork to 500*500 pixels.

The 500*500 pixels limit also applies to a Twonky server running on either Windows os OSX (MAC).

This is out of the hands of BeoSound Moment ... it can only show what the actual DLNA server will deliver.

My WDMyCloud NAS drive seems to downsize the artwork to 200x200. I believe you can access the TwonkyServer settings to change the this behaviour but this is fairly advanced stuff...

 

So would the 500x500 limit also apply to a BeoMaster5 running twonkyserver?

I have now connected my BeoMaster 5 to the Moment and all the album cover resolution issues disappeared. Clearly this is a NAS drive issue. My WDMyCloud is supplying the Moment with 200x200 thumbnails. Perhaps it would be good if other Moment users could post on whether their NAS drive gives correctly sized cover artwork. This is especially important for the BeoMusic app.

Here is my answer from the aforementioned thread, works with any Sinology NAS :

The solution is simple, but can be long to find In the thousands of parameters of the Synology : 

Open media server

click the DMA compatibility tab

at the bottom, click on Device list

find your Encore (you must know it's IP address, I hope it's fixed...

instead of Default Profile, choose Default profile with Original covers

save

its done

I am now tearing my hair out...Beomaster5 seems to be switching itself off - never did this when connected to the BS5. I reverted to the WDMyCloud but no matter how I try I cannot resolve the artwork issue. I also get random Artist images appearing on my Artist list that are not part of my collection, and some of the Artist artwork is wrong. Can anyone recommend a NAS drive that is solid, reliable, can scale the artwork correctly, and not go offline.
