Is there a way to increase the size limit of an Image that can be played?
I am able to display an Image up to 5k x 5k but as soon as I go up to 6k x 6k, I get the following errror:

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "fake". Unfortunately, there is no way for you to fix this.

The Message Logger gives the following errors:

main debug: using decoder module "avcodec"
main debug: TIMER module_need() : 8.000 ms - Total 8.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 8.000 ms)

Thanks

Yes, there is a limit in the scaler, that is probably around 5k.

Ok, thanks for your response.
Is there a way to increase this size limit, either through the interface, command line, or source code?

Source code of swscale.
