Text does not scroll properly in Rec TV (1 Viewer)

Hi

I have just tested this on my htpc.
See screenshot looks good.

To answer your other question, I am using xfactor most of the time, also no problems there.

1. Are you using a standard 16:9 screen resolution?
2. Attach your 4TR_RecordedTv.xml file from your blue3wide folder and I will compare with mine.

Humm, yours does look right. I'll have to try xfactor but first I'd like to figure this out. I wonder what is different.

Re: 1 - I think I am using a stadard 16:9 screen resolution since I do not remeber changing it, but I am not 100% sure. Everything in other programs fits the 16:9 format on the monitor and HDTV (set up as clone). How would I check for sure (or is that why you are asking for the .xml file)?

Re: 2 - Pls see file, attached.

Question - Not sure it is relevant but were you in Full Screen when your screen shot was taken?

1. Check your display settings in control panel

2. will compare file later

3. Yes, I am in fullscreen. You not? That might be the problem. Please try fullscreen before I do no 2 above.

In control panel both the monitor and HDTV are set to 1280 x 768, which I understand is the standard 16:9 resolution - pls correct me if that is not the case.

I too am using full screen. Thank you in advance for checking the file.

Just as a matter of interest, I switched to not full screen - same problem.

Then I switched back and went to the Blue3 skin (not wide). In the past I had tested the non-wide skin on a 4:3 system and realized it did not have this problem. Now I tried the non wide Blue3 skin on my 16:9 system and noticed that it also does not have this problem. But it brought to mind a question... why am I using Blue3Wide if Blue3 does not have the problem and seemingly looks the same. Am I missing something regarding what Blue3Wide is supposed to do that Blue3 does not do on a 16:9 monitor?

As it stands right now I am leaving it on Blue3 to see if I notice anything odd/different.

Unfortunately Blue3 does not work for Moving Pictures on my 16:9 machine.

rekenaar - Any comments on the provided file would be appreciated.

It's on my to-do list for the weekend.

Compared the files. Exactly the same.

I just re-read your previous post:

In control panel both the monitor and HDTV are set to 1280 x 768, which I understand is the standard 16:9 resolution - pls correct me if that is not the case.

Think this is the problem. It is NOT 16:9.

16:9 = 1920x1080 = 1366x768 = 1280x720

16:9 = 1920x1080 = 1366x768 = 1280x720

Regretfully that was not my problem. I tried 1280x720 and 1360x768 (I do not have the option to try 1920x1080 or 1366x768).

In case it is relevant, I have it set up with dual monitors, clone, and both set to the noted resolutions.

Make another screenshot, while in 1280x720, and attach here without resizing please.
Also attach your mediaportal.log file just after you have created the screenshot.

I am just about out of ideas...
