<div dir="ltr"><font face="courier new, monospace"><br>> I did make some headway on this issue by following the directions at: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/__Overscan">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/__Overscan</a>. As a first go at it I just cut and pasted the metamode line that the author used (i.e. Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: 1280x720 { ViewPortIn=1280x720, ViewPortOut=1045x675+120+15 }" ) and it worked like a charm. Of course now I have underscan. I don't really understand his/her arithmetic so I'm going to have to figure that out before I make any changes (baby steps). If anyone has an insight please let me know otherwise I'll just have to play with it until I get it right. I am optimistic though.<br>
<br><br>First off, watch the top posting, always post inline or at the bottom of the quoted text.... allows people to read things in order instead of having to read from the bottom up.<br><br>If I had to guess... the ViewPortOut value is simply the resolution and the offset. So in the example you posted, the view port is actually 1045x675, and it is moved 120px to the right, and 15px down. I assume the offset is from the top left corner (0,0).<br>
<br>Imagine your screen is a typical X/Y graph... your screen (including it's overscan) is a rectangle grounded such that the top left corner is at 0,0. The viewport is another rectangle that, unmodified is exactly the same as your screen. What your doing is changing the size of the viewport in relation to the screen.... the problem is that by default the viewport remains grounded at 0,0, for example:<br>
<br><br>----------------------------<br>| | |<br>| | |<br>|-------------------- |<br>| |<br>----------------------------</font><div><font face="courier new, monospace"><br>
</font></div><div style><font face="courier new, monospace">Use the offset to move the viewport to the center of your screen (or where ever it needs to be to display everything). </font><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">Make sense?</span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></span></div><div style><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">It's gonna take some trial and error to get both the size and offset right. You may be able to make it easier by creating a wallpaper image that has a grid, say lines every 10px, on it to show you how big your viewport is, and how far you need to move the offset. Of course this would only be useful BEFORE you set the viewport and offset.</span></div>
