Bug Description

Go to the My Music scope and tap on Artists. In the artists view, tap on one of the albums. At that point, the thumbnailer gets the following request:

thumbnailer-service: [02:59:04.731] "album: Pink Floyd/The Dark Side Of The Moon [2011 - Remaster] (2304,0): 0.129131 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"

2304 is bigger than the entire screen, and the thumbnailer will delivers the largest size it can (limited to 1920). But the actual thumbnail that's displayed looks like it's about 250-300 pixels wide. It would be easier on the battery and on cache storage if the request would be issued at the correct size.

Some more info...

From "My Music", while in the Artist tab, I tap one of the artists. There are two albums with one track each for that artist. I get:

thumbnailer-service: [10:09:10.283] "artist: Accept/Death Row (732,0): 0.031558 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"
thumbnailer-service: [10:09:10.315] "album: Accept/Metal heart (99,0): 0.021486 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"
thumbnailer-service: [10:09:10.367] "album: Accept/Death Row (99,0): 0.028841 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"
thumbnailer-service: [10:09:10.388] "album: Accept/Metal heart (216,0): 0.023775 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"
thumbnailer-service: [10:09:10.391] "album: Accept/Death Row (216,0): 0.005554 sec (HIT)"

That looks perfect.

Now I tap on the "Death Row" album and get:

thumbnailer-service: [10:11:11.275] "album: Accept/Death Row (768,0): 0.136395 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"
thumbnailer-service: [10:11:11.280] "album: Accept/Metal heart (768,0): 0.139630 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"
thumbnailer-service: [10:11:11.340] "album: Accept/Death Row (2304,0): 0.200366 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"
thumbnailer-service: [10:11:11.392] "album: Accept/Metal heart (2304,0): 0.251335 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)"

Looks like we are asking for four thumbnails here, when a single one would do.

Adding unity-scopes-shell because the scope itself doesn't control the thumbnail requests and sizes.
