I am interested in modifying an existing 1080p skin (FTV) to create a 4K version. I have seen very little details in the forums about creating a 4K skin apart from notes that 1080p textures will be automatically scaled by Kodi (which still has very bad upscaling). I have also noticed that video jacket art for SPMC 16.x and Kodi 17 is rendered in high resolution (4K) when you select an “unlimited” GUI resolution.
So, to address creating 2160[ resolution for textures/supporting images:
1) Can I simply create similar graphics that are 2×2 scaled and use the existing skin’s 1080p layout (simply swap image files)t? My assumption is that the layout will then be scaled 2×2 and the textures will be rendered at 2160 resolution? This would be similar to a web browser that downsizes higher resolution images to fit a given layout and seems to follow the 1:1 jacket art.
2) Or do I need to modify the addon.xml to reflect 2160p and multiply every xml file so that the layout dimensions are multiplied by 2?
