<br>
Is there a Mythtv theme which plays back wide-screen videos on an older<br>
standard computer monitor while displaying user defined information (for<br>
instance weather) at the bottom unused screen space?<br>
<br>
I think my answer will be: "Playing back the video is not part of the<br>
mythtv theme responsibilities." But I thought I'd ask just in case.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I believe themes do have a "background" image that they put on the screen that the video is layered over.
