Streamed MP v0.3.270 - MediaPortal 1.0 Ready (4 Viewers)

Beautiful skin! Two issues I've noticed (can't seem to find the reason for the second one).

1. "Runtime" text is overrun by... the runtime.

I get the text overrun as well and in other places like the page count. From searching I can't find it mentioned much or a fix.

I think this depends on your resolution? It happens on my 16:10 1680x1050 res screen. But not on my 16:9 1360x768 screen.

On non-16:9 screens, such as 1920x1200 monitors, run RC.EXE (resolution changer) instead of Media Portal.exe as the example below. RC.exe changes the resolution of your monitor to whatever you want (in my case, 1920x1080) then runs MP, and changes it back when MP exits.

It's much better because you don't get all those nasty stretched images being displayed and incorrect font scaling. The downside is that you get black bars along the top and bottom.

You want to change your display settings so that it doesn't stretch to fill the screen. On my ATI it's under Digital Panel / Image Scaling / "Maintain Aspect Ratio". Don't select "Scale Image to full panel size".

"C:\Program Files\12noon Display Changer\dc.exe" -width=1920 -height=1080 "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.exe"

For a 1680x1050 screen, you'll want to set it to something like 1680x960 or something to get 16:9 I think.

You only need to configure the menus if you want to add/remove items from the default ones. I think your problem abou #prefix is describing the MediaStream skin and not StreamedMP

Doh!
That's it.

I'm actually running it on a 1080p projector although I noticed it first when running it on my 1680x960 monitor but I'm 90% sure it does it from the projector as well. I'll confirm.

I noticed the new version is up on the project page, is it ok to crack on and install? should I uninstall previous ver or overwrite.

You can Uninstal then install or you can upgrade...your choice.
