This is only a small bug, but I thought its maybe worth to report.

When changing a TV channel via EPG the small preview window gets a black box while switching is in progress. See picture. This is probably from using offset settings for skin and video picture because my TV has overscan.

    Which format is your screen, 1366x704 is not 16:9 so chances are things are going to show up misplaced.

    That is indeed the reason. My set up does the same thing, I've just learned to live with it, guessing it's a limitation more than a bug.

    Do you mean that you have edited the offset in the skin or something different?

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I'll jump on this since i use offset settings on old HTPC (calibrated screen) & CRT, i'll test this within some days.

    Regards

    In addition to that; Anyone who wants to get some MP & video rendering experience... planescene.cs is most likely not taking the overscan setting into account when it is rendering the "black texture".
