Public bug reported:

How to reproduce:

1. Place image whose dimensions are larger than the screen in a
subdirectory of the configured images directory.

2.  Use MythTV front end to view image.

3.  Only part of the image is displayed as it is too large to fit on the
screen and the default viewer has not scaled it to fit on screen.

4.  User now throws down remote control and powers off the box at the
mains in complete disgust at the *TRULY EPIC* lameness of the coding in
MythGallery.

Sorry this is absolutely pathetic.  It's 2013 and this sort of rubbish
still plagues desktop Linux.  Does no one actually test these features ?
Isn't it absolutely blindingly obvious that the default behaviour of an
"image viewer" on a "set top box" application should be to bloody well
scale the image to fill the available space (either scale it up or scale
it down) ?

Words fail me. They really do.
