Description

Hello Kodi Scraper Team,

I would like to propose a feature enhancement for the TMDB and FanartTV scrapers to capture and store the resolution (width x height) of downloaded images (posters and fanarts). This would assist users in selecting the best quality cover art for their media collections.

Context:
Currently, the resolution of images fetched from TMDB or FanartTV is not stored or accessible in Kodi. Providing this information would empower users to make informed choices about their cover art.

Proposal:
Implement functionality in the scrapers to retrieve and store image resolutions, making this data accessible in Kodi skins. This would allow users to easily identify and select the highest quality cover art available.

Thank you for considering this feature request.

Research direction

Start by locating the TMDB and FanartTV scraper entry points and the existing path that stores downloaded poster and fanart metadata. Check how image information is exposed to Kodi skins. Done means both scrapers retain width and height for downloaded images and that skins can access the resolution.
