steam widget landscape blue overlayed?

[FregrinZ]

why does landscape look like this please?

[aanderse]

i believe that is the fanart provided by steam.

[FregrinZ]

yes but its like all blueish is there no way to change it ? when its in square sides of the images are cut off?

[aanderse]

I checked and this is the fanart provided by Steam. For example:

http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/400/page_bg_generated_v6b.jpg

If you find a different (and consistent) url that Steam uses to provide better fanart I'd definitely be up for using that.

Let me know if you can find anything.

[FregrinZ]

No idea sorry, did find this but possibly of no use.

can we not use

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/220440/header.jpg

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/400/header.jpg

for fanarts and set size in .py ?

[aanderse]

the resolution of that image is 460x215 which would look horrible on 1080p and up resolutions. also, the aspect ratio is way off.

This could be fixed by #20 which uses

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/220440/library_hero.jpg

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/400/library_hero.jpg

The images are high quality - they are too large however, so they are automatically cropped by Kodi. In my PR I fallback to header.jpg though for the old games that don't provide it, which definitely looks horrible on HD resolutions. Want me to revert that behavior to fallback to the blue thingy instead ?
