Re: [mythtv-users] On screen display
Tim, thanks for your help but overscan or GUI settings didn't fix my problem. The video is correctly aligned, its just the OSD that is shifted off to the right. When I play with overscan it throws the whole screen off, not just the GUI.

This essentially gave X a screen that was smaller than the framebuffer but fitted onto the non-overscanned part of the display. Try the ivtv lists. This approach won't work with nvidia. I think Myth would need to put the OSD into a bounding box. Of course *that* would work for both nvidia and ivtv. It would be nice to have an xv 'window' that was bigger than the osd 'window' so the video can extend past the visible boundary and into the overscan whilst the osd is fully on screen. I have the xv window/overscan set so the video touches the edges but this leaves small black bars where there's no overscan and the adjustment isn't as flexible as a monitor (nvidia's driver has no h/v shift or h/v scale - just 'bigger' or 'smaller') David ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] On screen display
Try going to: Settings -> Setup -> Appearance, and playing with the GUI hight, width, and offsets. Then try: Settings -> TV Settings -> Playback -> Overscan, and play with those values. I had the same problem and fixed it with one of those two options ( can't remember which ). I think it was the Overscan stuff that actually fixed it. *shrugs* -Tim ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] On screen display
That's exactly the same as me then, its been happening for a while now but I've just learned to live with it. I'm doing tv-out using nvidia geforce 4, and running latest svn myth on debian unstable.

I use VGA out, using the Fill option of Myth on my 17" monitor (I know, its sad). I generally dont get the OSD going off to the side until I adjust the zoom, or change the aspect ratio, or change to a channel that is in Widescreen.

Re: [mythtv-users] On screen display
I get a problem when I am watching live tv, and when I change channel the OSD goes off to the right hand side.. I am using 16:9 zoom on a 4:3 tv and input via DVB, has anybody had similar problems?

[mythtv-users] On screen display
My Myth setup is running fabulously well. WAF is high and our TV viewing habits have been completely changed. A niggling little problem is however defying my attempts to fix. When I am watching ‘live’ TV (not often now as we mainly watch recorded programs) and hit the menu button I get the seven options (Program Guide, something Browse Mode etc) of the semi-transparent menu up on the screen. Trouble is that they are positioned so that the left hand side of this menu is off the left hand side of the screen. i.e. I see ‘ogram Giude’ where the ‘Pr and half the ‘o’ (of Program Guide) are to the left off the viewable area. I’ve tried messing around with various settings under the Setup menu but don’t seem to be able to find anything that makes any difference. The rig is using the TV Out of a PVR 350 with the drivers as per AT RPM’s and Jarod’s guide. Do I need to be messing with modelines or something like that? I don’t think that I am missing actual TV picture off to the left hand side but cannot be entirely sure. I’ve tired setting and un-setting the ‘Use GUI size for TV playback’ under Settings -> Apearance but this doesn’t seem to have any effect. Changing the GUI size itself seems to just work on the Myth GUI (I’m assuming that the TV Out of the PVR is a completely separate video mode of some sort.) Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Regards Marty ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
