Splash screen change on 1.16 upgrade (1 Viewer)

[Anthony Vaughan]

I've upgraded from 1.15 to 1.16 and have experienced a change to the behaviour of the splash screen using the DefaultWideHD skin. The progress text has moved to the bottom left of the screen, instead of the middle of the screen, and is only partially visible; i.e. part of the progress text is below the visible range of the screen.

I have tried to use ALT>Print Screen so I can display what is happening, but that won't capture anything.

I can see the Loading and Initializing words, but nothing else.

Is there a skin setting that has changed, or something else I can do?

Try simply print screen.
If that doesn't work, can you take a photo with your cellphone or something like that?

[edit: Oh, and please confirm system information. Particularly relevant are GPU and screen config (multi monitor? resolution? size?).]

It works as it should (at least here and on 4 more installations of friends)
So maybe anything is broken during install - maybe you should re-install

Screen resolution?

 

[Anthony Vaughan]

Okay. Here's a photo.

BTW, once inside the app, everything appears as normal including the resolution.

This is a 4:3 screen I think
Dev already prepared a fix for the scaling issue

Indeed, that doesn't look like 16:9.

@Anthony Vaughan
Please would you confirm your screen config (resolution, size etc.) as previously requested.

Try this MP.exe

I've tried the new version of MediaPortal.exe, but it made no difference.

As for resolution, this is happening on all screens, including HD televisions (46"). The photo I sent you is appearing on a screen with set to 1680 X 1010.

Please be aware that my system is configured centrally; i.e. I'm using a network location for the configuration, of everything, using MediaPortalDirs.xml in the user documentation folder on client machines. This change of behaviour has suddenly happened when upgrading to 1.16, so I'm assuming that there are one or more configurations that have changed that I have not upgraded to the central location. The text that used to appear in the centre of the screen has now moved to the bottom left.

Can you point me to any configuration changes, like new properties, that may have been made to configuration files? For example, it would seem that something is telling the splash screen to display somewhere different from before.

Thanks.
