When I am in the command line before I go into freevo by using freevo -fs as a user not root, I can issue the mplayer -vo vesa KillerMovie.avi and it works perfectly. The entire screen is filled as it should be, when I go into X that is when it leaves a black border about 1" on top and the left hand side. I have looked at all the FAQ about this and can't seem to solve this problem. I tried using 1024x768 but it seems that my TV can't handle it. So I am using 800x600 instead. Any other ideas on what I should try or look at? On a side note, this rocks!! I have it playing music movies pictures cd's dvd's whatever I throw at! Recording works like a charm and I figured out to sync my clock to a time server so I would quit losing the last 1 minute of every show. That one stumped me for a day. :) Thanks to all who work on this project, you guys are awesome! (This gratuitus as kissing was brought to you by the letter 'C' and the number '7'.)

[Freevo-users] Filling TV screen on TVout
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX card with SVideo out that I have going to my televisions SVidio in. When I run Freevo it leaves a black border around the screen and Freevo is stuck inside this. How do I make Freevo fill the entire TV screen? I have been trying to find the info I would need but am getting confused on what exactly I am looking for. Should I be running Freevo in 800x600 and use OSD inside of the local.conf.py file to "stretch" the image across the whole screen? Or should I be using 640x480 and then try the same thing? I am completely lost at this point.

Re: [Freevo-users] on my xbox console: no mplayer video display in freevo but on console
Hi ! Hm. I tried it. mplayer uses it when its started with freevo... but I still have the same result with the same symptoms: screen stays black as long as the video play. no sound. Same video started on the console with mplayer: everything's perfect (with the same args that freevo uses, when it starts mplayer). I cannot understand this! Any idea? cheers, Hans [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am 07.03.04 01:52:40: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >Hi all! > > > >I finally figured out what to do, to get mplayer showing videos in colors.

[Freevo-users] Scheduling Recordings Hangs
I've been working with the nightly releases and have noticed that when I schedule a show to record, Freevo does not let me exit out of the "Ok" pop up box to return to the listings. I have to kill Freevo in order to even exit it. When I go back in, the show is scheduled to record. This has been going on (for me) since the beginning of March. Any ideas on how to fix this? -- -alex = This e-mail message has been scanned and certified Virus free --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
