I was running mythcenter-wide and now trying out blootube-wide and have
noticed the same preview problems on both themes. It always works on low def
shows and sometimes I have black on bottom 2/3 or sometimes it is a lined
green color. I have noticed it for at least a couple of weeks and just
haven't said anything because it doesn't bother me that much.
