Menu and Video
#1
Hi,

I own a Tronsmart S89H and I am using XBMC 14 nightly and I notice that every time that I start a movie it shows a black rectangle with the size of the top menu but if I change the video format from normal to zoom and then back to normal the black bar goes away.

It happens with any Skin!

Did anyone notice this before?

When I open the video is already like this:

The menu:

After I change the video format:

In Confluence also? Apparently, all 3rd party skins are broken in Helix nightly.
Is there a specific reason you're using nightly rather than Gotham?

I tried all of them, Confluence and others too.

I am using nightly because I was hoping that the bug was fixed. I tried Gotham too. I am going to try a different ROM and hopefully it fixes. http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?1...2-firmware

UPDATE:
Doesn't matter if is 13.1 or 14 alpha the issue is there Sad

I am having the same problem.

I have 2 win7 boxes and 2 Android boxes each running Gotham 13.1

These bars (top and bottom) only appear in the Android boxes. And in all skins I try.

I have tried all settings with no luck. The only difference I see is win7 version shows
Full Screen #1 and 1920x1080P on the first 2 lines of the System/Video Output settings page.
Android version shows Windowed and 1920x1080P and both are greyed out.

I found the problem on the Android boxes.

The problem is from the video setup between Android and XBMC.

To fix: In android "settings/display/display position" my setting was at 86%.
I increased to 88%. (Yours may only need increasing 1%)

Now in XBMC "settings/system/video/calibration" Calibrate as you normally would.

All videos fullscreen and letterbox should be normal without top and bottom black bars overlaying video.

I hope this helps....it was driving me crazy Confused
