My ctl_resolution_ver/cur_val was 480. I set it to 720 and mplayer looked normal!
I restarted mythbackend, started mythfrontend and it looks like myth put ctl_resolution_ver/cur_val back to 480. I forced it back to 720 and myth looks normal as well - not cropped, no lines. It may be a bit zoomed, but I can't tell just yet. -vincent On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 7:29 PM, Mike Isely<[email protected]> wrote: > > I just managed to reproduce at least one of the symptoms!
