Welcome to MediaPortal.

Okay, this screenshot is with the Maya skin. Do you see the same problem with Blue3Wide?

Which version of MediaPortal are you using? I know that the more recent version of Maya have been updated for the forthcoming MediaPortal 1.2.0. Maybe this is the problem.

If this is a problem within one skin, you are best to post in the forum section for that skin.

Best wishes,

Mark

Thanks for the reply. I am running 1.1.0.3. Yes it happens with all screens including the default Blue3Wide.

The machine is XP SP3 and has previously been using gbpvr without issue.

Anyone have any ideas? I have tried different screen resolutions, different skins, different renderor. Not sure what else to try.

Please someone Im desperate and just cant seem to figure this out. Thanks!

Hi scottiamit,

Have you tried deleting the skin cache?

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache\[your skin name]

This also looks like an issue that I used to have where the group name would stretch over the whole screen. I searched, but can't find my post about it. The issue eventually went away for me. I was doing the whole svn thing at the time so can't be sure what cured the issue. It never returned though.

I would perhaps play with screen resolution as well. This may be a stupid suggestion, but you never know. EDIT: I Just read your first post, you have played with screen res. ignore this.

Hi Chris, cheers for the reply, yes I have tried clearing the cache as well as about 6 different resolutions at different various aspect ratios. Its pretty annoying as everything else is working as expected now so just this to sort. The issue is pretty bad that often I can't read the text at all. Thanks anyway though

Hi scottiamit

I remember having some similar issues a long time ago (I guess it was somewhere before 0.1.3.0 !). I am not sure what helped it, but I think updating to a more recent gfx card driver did the trick.

 

[scottiamit]

Thanks mbuzina, I updated to the latest version of the driver for my graphics cards (Nvidia 7600GT) but that didn't fix it either. What a mission!

So I just reinstalled Windows 7 and all the latest hardware drivers followed by Mediaportal all from scratch and I still have the same damn issue! At this stage I now presume it must relate to the graphics card I am using. I am going back to XP now (as my machine is a bit slow for windows 7) and I will try the 1.2 beta version of mediaportal to see if that helps. If not them I guess I will have to look at a new graphics card if I want to use mediaportal, otherwise it will be back to gbpvr /nextpvr so I have something usable.
