Hi, when i change the zoom on a bradcasted 16:9 show to 4:3 the people are short and fat, in other words, it looks like MP isnt scaling down properly.

I am running MP on my TV at 800x600

Is this a widespread problem or is it just me?

Have you used the screen calibration function in MP?

MP1 MP2 MP stuck on splash screen DE

maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?

MP1 MP2 Better recording scheduler DE

TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...
