The "A6-Pack" Build

Thanks, ended up just reinstalling XBMC and it did the trick, but next time will look for the setting. What's weird is that I don't recall changing it at all! Wonder if there is a short cut key that I may have hit which caused it.

SETTINGS / SYSTEM / VIDEO / OUPUT

and choose TRUE FULL SCREEN

Yes there is.... its happened to me before.... dont remember what it was....

He prolly hit the back-slash key(" \ ") which allows you to toggle between the full-screen modes Eskro is referring to! NOOB mistake, I do it very often!

That was probably it, I was sure there must have been a key that I hit inadvertantly as it happened all of a sudden and I couldn't find any menu option to reverse it!

Ugh! I've been wondering what the hell was causing that! So nice that I can quickly undo it now when I do it!

That's the Display Mode key, and you can manually change it in settings/system/video output. I mentioned it in post #69......

The "Windowed" mode is a great option for setting up XBMC for the first time, because it's quicker to get in and out of XBMC window.....

on my SAMSUNG TV, i had to choose FiT SCREEN,

on other TV's like LG, i think its SCAN or JUST SCAN....

what this does is it magically makes the HTPC image fit perfectly corner to corner

Just Scan for me.... scans exactly what your output is.... so basically a true 1080x1920 ..... i had the trouble when my image (menu) did not fit right..... I thought it was my HTPC... but no its the tv......

Still having issues with the scan rates and my Plasma. Getting a white line on the left side and top of the screen after a few minutes of viewing.

I think I need to have the resolution set to 1920x1280 (or maybe it's 1920x1080, can't recall) to be able to use the "Just Scan" option in my older Samsung plasma as it's otherwise blacked out with any other resolution. But when I switch to that resolution in Windows and in XBMC, the picture doesn't fill the whole screen. I.e., I'm about 1" or so from the top/bottom/sides even after selecting "Just Scan". Will have to keep fiddling with it. I have the same issue on occasion when watching HD on my cable box, but using Just Scan and repositioning the image a click or two fixes it. But for some reason I can't get it to work with the HTPC. Hmmm...

Glad I'm not the only one!
