Hi, When I connect my PC to my LCD TV using DVI to HDMI cable I see that my TV is showing only part of the signal sent out by my PC due to overscan. I cannot underscan from my PC since it is DVI. Because of this weird behavior, Freevo looks like it got chopped of on all the sides. My idle bar is not fully visible etc. Do any of you guys had this issue? And how did you fix it?
The fix I came up with is to reduce the size of freevo using geometry in freevo.conf which saves the right and bottom parts from getting chopped. But there is no config variable to offset x, y. So I added the following line in osd.py, which worked like a charm in fixing the problem. os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS']="28,20" But then I found out that when I play videos, the movie would not fill up the screen. Root cause is the -screenw, -screenh arguments passed to mplayer which uses the geometry I set in freevo.conf. Can we get rif of those options? Why are they present anyway? If we don't have a solution for this problem yet, I will be glad to send a patch that will add 2 config variables to freevo.conf to offset the display. Thanks Chandan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
