aurora13,
i'm using a cvs from 23/4. i haven't been able to locate a later one - not much into compiling.
you links have shown me that it's actually the "upsample videos to gui resolution" label that i'm missing.
i assume it's because my build is old.

if u use 1080i you should really consider just sticking with 720p, its a couple less pixels but the quality is better, and it has no flickering.
also shouldnt a 16/9 skin auto bump up to 1080 perfectly, it shouldnt be easy to do.
in xbmc it takes all coordinates and multiplies all coordinates by 1.5. that is the difference between 720 and 1080. (1920/1280, or 1080/720 both come up to 1.5)

that would work if you set the <defaultwideresolution> tag in skin.xml to 720p.
hmmm. perhaps this idea of <defaultresolution> stuff needs to be extended somewhat?? i'm thinking something like this:
1080i -> 720p -> defaultwidescreen -> default
720p -> defaultwidescreen -> default
ntsc16x9 -> defaultwidescreen -> default
ntsc -> default
pal16x9 -> defaultwidescreen -> default
pal -> default
obviously 480p will be treated the same as the ntsc modes.
currently i think all the above is happening except the extra 720p step in the 1080i case.
let us know what you think.

aurora13: hi, finally got the chance to try out your 720p skin with the 30/4 build. it seems to work very well on my hdtv but i have some feedback. the text in the sub-settings screens seems a bit small and spaced apart. maybe a touch larger if possible. also, in weather, the four days shown with their icons are very small and also a tad over-spaced. it is possible to make them larger?. adding an extra day is probably not practical but would fit.
oh and thanks for getting those page counters in the right place!. that's an annoying bug that's been with xbmc for a while.
if it helps, the overscan settings for my sony hdtv are (upper-left corner) 29,17 and (lower-right corner) 32,15.
i wonder if you could work your magic on the xbox media player skin - as that is my skin of choice.
