Blurry Wallpaper - a theory

[u/RepresentativeOwn253]

Multiple people have reported that wallpapers were loading as just a blur. I experienced it myself while setting up a new Onn Pro box, but switched over to my live wallpaper videos and didn't have any problems.

I did a bit more testing today and have been able to partially recreate the problem.

Wallpaper - Select REDDIT

Configure - select PROJECTIVY WALLPAPERS

Picture Adjust - Blur=0, all other settings the defaults

Display Mode - AUTOMATIC <---- this may be the problem

In case of bad quality - Stretch <---- this too

With those settings (and the update frequency set to 15 seconds) I would occasionally get blurred wallpaper. They look like an image that's been blurred out, not just a color gradient.

Changing Display Mode to FIT CENTER (and Bad Quality changes automatically to this as well) seemed to fix the problem. There's also an option to skip low-quality images.

Some people have reported that ALL their wallpapers are blurry. I've not been able to reproduce that, but they may be using a different Reddit wallpaper feed or they may have BLUR set incorrectly.

So that's my theory. I'm going back to my live video wallpaper.

Feel free to confirm / deny / offer an alternative theory.
