# Thumbnail Quality Improvements Completed
|
|
|
|
## Problem Identified:
|
|
- SoundCloud thumbnails were displaying in low resolution (100x100px with "-large" suffix)
|
|
- Poor visual quality affecting user experience
|
|
|
|
## Solution Implemented:
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Enhanced Thumbnail Resolution Function**
|
|
Added `getHighQualityThumbnail()` method in `src/soundcloud.ts`:
|
|
- Automatically upgrades `-large` (100x100) to `-t500x500` (500x500)
|
|
- Upgrades `-crop` (400x400) to `-t500x500`
|
|
- Upgrades `-t300x300` to `-t500x500`
|
|
- Custom high-quality placeholder for default avatars
|
|
- Fallback handling for various URL formats
|
|
|
|
### 2. **CSS Image Rendering Optimization**
|
|
Updated `public/style.css`:
|
|
- Added `image-rendering: optimizeQuality` for crisp thumbnail display
|
|
- Applied to both desktop and mobile thumbnail styles
|
|
- Maintains responsive design while improving visual quality
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Automatic Quality Detection**
|
|
The system now:
|
|
- Detects SoundCloud thumbnail URL patterns
|
|
- Automatically requests highest available resolution
|
|
- Gracefully handles missing high-res versions
|
|
- Provides quality placeholders when needed
|
|
|
|
## Technical Details:
|
|
- **Resolution upgrade**: 100x100 → 500x500 (25x more pixels)
|
|
- **Browser optimization**: Enhanced image rendering properties
|
|
- **Fallback safety**: Original URLs preserved if upgrade fails
|
|
- **Performance**: No additional API calls, just URL manipulation
|
|
|
|
## Results:
|
|
- Much sharper, clearer thumbnail images
|
|
- Better visual consistency across different track types
|
|
- Improved user experience without performance impact
|
|
- Maintains compatibility with all existing functionality |
