    Hi,

    This is definitely a hardware/driver issue. I've always had this small black borders with my Hauppauge PVR-150MCE and now with my PVR500MCE as well. The original WinTV app doesn't expose this behaviour, probably because the app itself overscans the TV picture.

    AFAIK the only thing you can do about it is to try to use ffdshow post-processing with TV and crop the picture. I've always had trouble with ffdshow so eventually I stopped trying. One thing I did notice was that the DScaler codec somehow does overscan the picture a bit, so with that codec the problem is less apparent.

    Kind regards,
    Michel

    If anyone ever experiences the above, I found a fix. Removing and reinstalling MP-TVSeries fixed it. It must have gotten corrupted during the reinstall of MP. I also had to do the same with TRAKT which had some issues too that were not apparent at the time. All is well once again. :cool:

    Good. I am pleased that that is now working for you. :) If you have ever looked at MP debug log files, you may have noticed that apparent errors are not rare, but these are "errors" that do not affect the functioning of the product. (It is not desirable to have these errors in the log file, as it misleads users, testers, and...

    Yes. I've just this minute found the cause of the problem; though I haven't found the exact line of configuration that caused it. I am using a centrally configured system, meaning that some configuration files are stored centrally and are not overridden when installing new versions. It would seem that 1.31 had a change in...
