TV: increase Home poster size, reduce hero dominance - #255
Conversation
The shared Home/For You/Library-detail row feed rendered poster cards at the Dense size (88x132dp), packing ~9 tiny posters per row and leaving rating badges and progress overlays hard to read from a typical TV viewing distance. Switch to the standard poster size (130x195dp), landing around 6-7 visible per row, and give the row band more height so the taller cards don't clip against the next row's peek -- trimming the hero's share of the screen in the process. Fixes Silo-Server#163 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Android TV Skyline feed now uses standard poster cards. The reserved row-band height increases from 0.50 to 0.58. Obsolete dense poster dimensions are removed from the spacing theme. ChangesSkyline poster sizing
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The layout change enlarges shared TV poster cards and reduces the hero area, but the resulting height allocation may clip marquee content at common TV resolutions. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to adjust the row height responsively. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

TvFocusMarquee/TvMarqueeBlock layout calculation to use the measured available

Reduce TvSkylineRowBandHeightFraction or make the layout responsive.
At 1920×1080 (960×540dp), the padding leaves only 162.8dp for TvFocusMarquee. At 1280×720 (640×360dp), it leaves 87.2dp. TvMarqueeBlock can require about 206dp, and TvFocusMarquee clips its content. Use a measured layout budget that preserves the marquee content at both reference sizes.

Could you add a couple of device shots before we merge this? Shield (or similar), D-pad, Home / For You / Library Detail, especially whether the 0.58 band clips the next-row peek or focus-lift at 1080p and 4K. I can't ship a TV layout change on tokens alone.

Verified on device before merging. Set up two Android TV emulators (API 34, Home / Library Detail (1080p): hero renders at the top, first row (Continue Watching / Recently Added) is fully visible, ~6-7 posters per row as intended. Second row peeks cleanly at the bottom edge — no clipping. Moving focus into the second row, the focus-lift/scale animation and border render fully, even with the row sitting close to the bottom edge. 4K profile: Android TV's WindowManager caps UI compositing at a 1920x1080 base regardless of the panel's declared resolution ( For You / Recommendations didn't have data to render through Screenshots incoming in a follow-up comment. |

Superseding this with #257, which makes poster size a user-facing preference on both phone and TV rather than a hardcoded bump. #163's commenter asked to "increase poster size or give us the option" — #257 wires up the server's \ setting (poster size compact/standard/large plus a caption style axis), so anyone who wants larger TV posters can pick Cinema or Large, and the choice syncs across their devices or stays pinned to one via an "Only this device" toggle. It also derives the Skyline row band height from the scaled card height instead of a fixed fraction, which is the same hero/row balance problem this PR's \ constant was solving — but computed per preset rather than estimated. Thanks for the work here, and for flagging the band-height clipping; that constraint carried over into the derivation. Closing as superseded. |

Summary
TvSkylineSectionFeed(shared by Home, For You, and Library Detail) was rendering poster cards at the Dense size (88x132dp), packing ~9 tiny posters per row with rating/progress overlays hard to read from typical TV viewing distance.TvSkylineRowBandHeightFraction, 0.50 -> 0.58) so the taller cards have room without clipping against the next row's peek, which also shrinks the hero/marquee's share of the screen.RowDimens.DensePosterWidth/DensePosterHeightconstants.Since this layout is shared across Home, For You, and Library Detail, the change applies consistently to all three "hero + rows" screens rather than only Home.
Test plan
Note: I was unable to build or visually verify this change in my environment (no JDK/Android SDK available), so the exact
0.58band-height fraction is a reasoned estimate based on the existing card/spacing math rather than something eyeballed on a screen. Please sanity-check on a real device before merging, and feel free to nudge the constants if the balance isn't quite right.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
