I mostly run the frontend in a window on my monitor, DISPLAY=:0.0<br>
<br>
This puts it onto the TV. Fedora, 0.26-fixes, but it may still be<br>
usable.<br>
<br>
#!/bin/bash<br>
# Run MythTV front end on display 1<br>
# For Panasonic TX-L32E5B HDMI1 via DVI-I adapter<br>
# This is for use if Overscan is OFF<br>

# If aspect ratio is AUTO it seems that Overscan is ON<br>

export DISPLAY=:0.1<br>
mythfrontend --geometry 1920x1080+0+0<br>

There's absolutely no reason to always run mythfrontend with a<br>
geometry override. Instead, just set mythfrontend's settings to<br>
specify a size of 1920x1080 (or 0x0 if running on a 1920x1080<br>
monitor/if you want full screen) with an X& Y offset of 0.<br>
<br>
In other words, you should set the settings to tell MythTV what you<br>
want rather than use a settings override on every start of MythTV.<br>
</blockquote>
Using the bog standard X command line options is a perfectly sensible approach.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
The point was that using it *every* time (see the "always" in<br>
there?) is wrong because we allow you to specify it once, instead.<br>
</blockquote>
Calling it wrong is just nonsensical bullshit. It's easy enough to<br>
make it part of your standard way of calling the program. There's really<br>
no good reason to tell people to avoid it.<br>
<br>
MythTV following and old convention like this is actually a good thing.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div></div>
It's wrong because specifying every time implies that you've set the width/height/offset settings in MythTV to something other than what you're specifying--meaning other than what you want.<br>
<br>
It's also wrong to set up MythTV to "Automatically Skip" commercials, and then start it every single time with a -O override to disable automatic commercial skip since you don't ever want automatic commercial skip.<br>
<br>
I will also say it's /wrong/ to create a recording rule to record "Jerry Springer" at any time on any channel and then go into Upcoming Recordings every day and click "Don't Record" on every "Jerry Springer" episode on there because I don't ever want to record "Jerry Springer."<br>
<br>
Likewise, I'll say it's wrong to not create a recording rule to record "Under The Dome" and then look at the guide in MythTV and notice that "Under the Dome" is on at 10pm on Monday the 8th and create a 1-hr manual rule at 10pm on the 8th, then do the same thing on the 15th and ...<br>
<br>
If you want something to behave one way, set the setting correctly and there's no reason, whatsoever, to override it.<br>
<br>
But, hey, if you really insist on overriding settings, why not just start mythfrontend like so:<br>
<br>
mythfrontend -geometry 1920x1080+0+0 -O Theme=Steppes -O AutoCommercialSkip=0 -O EndOfRecordingExitPrompt=0 -O AutomaticSetWatched=1 -O HaltCommand='sudo shutdown' -O SetupPinCode='1234' -O RunInWindow -O UseFixedWindowSize=1 -O DateFormat='yyyy-MM-dd' -O TimeFormat='<a href="http://hh.mm" target="_blank">hh.mm</a>' -O ThemePainter='Auto' -O LongChannelFormat='<num> <sign>' -O ChannelFormat='<num>' -O ChannelGroupDefault='<u></u>Favorites' -O WatchTVGuide=0<br>
<br>
and all the rest... Oh, and to make it really worthwhile, you can change all the settings to have the wrong values in mythfrontend settings.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div>Please accept my apologies for starting such controversy. My jaw hit my lap tonight as I was watching a recording and I noticed, drum roll, full screen display. The only other thing I did was set screen size to 0 - 0. Thanks again Mythizens.</div>
