i did post the question on kodi and was redirected https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/artwork-reso…-v/96790/2
but unsure of how i go about this using the aeon tago skin
Yes, you could change this in advancedsettings.xml.
Keep in mind there is a performance penalty by doing so

Hi Sam, how do i do this? as regarding performance in what way does it effect?
thanks Shane
You would need to make an advancedsettings.xml file. You could do this via SMB and use an editor on your PC to generate the file or connect via ssh and then…
sudo nano ~/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
(to save and exit after your done you would ctrl+x, y, and then hit enter)
and the contents of the file would need to be something like…
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<advancedsettings>
<imageres>720</imageres>
<fanartres>1080</fanartres>
</advancedsettings>
You can read more about this file on Kodi’s wiki. It is worth noting that setting the artwork cache to larger than what is actually being displayed on screen will make the artwork look worse as the final stage scaler isn’t great. Setting the cache to store 2000 pixel high images will for sure make things look significantly worse than what you have right now. additionally changing this setting will not change any currently stored cached images so to redo an entire library would require the ~/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails folder to be deleted and Kodi restarted. The optimal setting is dependant on the skin your using and what views you have set in it. By default OSMC is tweaked to optimize the appearance of the OSMC Skin. If your using Estuary then you can get a bit of an improvement with the settings I have displayed above. Any other skin you would probably have to do a bit of trial and error to see if you can find something optimal for that particular setup.
