Hi
I have done a clean install of Windows and Mediaportal 1.7, and now having strange screen resolution changes which is becoming annoying.
I am using my Sony Bravia as the monitor at 1080p, Windows 7 screen resolution is at 1920x1080 60hz.
When I restart my HTPC, mediaportal is running at Windows screen resolution of 1080. At some point, the screen will then go to1024x768. The screen becomes stretched to fit the TV at 1080, and leaved all video playback with TV with a squished image with black bars up the top and bottom at 16:9 aspect ratio (which should naturally fill out the screen). I can change the zoom from normal to stretched and the playback is how it should be fitting at the screen but with a loss of clarity in the image. Everytime I change channel or play a new video file in TV Series or Moving Pictures I have change the aspect ratio.
I haven't been watching the TV whilst this change in resolution has occurred, I normally leave the HTPC running 24/7 and just turn off the TV. And 90% of the time, when I go back to watch TV the screen has changed resolution
I have taken a few screen shots of both, Screen shot files are of different resolutions from the changes, however, Windows 7 reports it is running at 1920 x 1080.
I have updated Intel HD graphics drivers to the latest with no change. In the mediaportal.log file I have noted the following that the HD Graphics becomes removed and then the following messge
Image at 1024x768 - Normal Zoom
On TV the image is scaled to 1080p with image becoming stretched sideways
Image at 1024x768 - Strectch (Zoom Mode)
Image appears to be at 16:9 aspect ratio with TV scaling image to 1080p. Loss of clarity. (Need to take photo of TV to show this)
Image at 1024x768, star rating are squished together
How the video playback is on first restart, 1920x1080
Attached are the log files, if anyone has a solution please let me know
