[mythtv-users] Feature request or pointer to code

[James Armstrong]

I can't believe I am the only person having this problem, I brought it 
up some time ago but did not see any responses. I have looked at the 
code but can't put my finger on what function needs to be changed. It 
has to do with the OSD.  Can the OSD be changed to always use the screen 
width and height instead of the display / recording width / height? I 
have a 16:9 monitor and watch most of the 4:3 shows in the 4:3 Zoom 
mode. The OSD is off the screen for the most part. It seems to scale 
with the recording when you press 'W'. It would seem that it would be 
better to leave the osd fixed at the screen size and just scale the 
video so all the osd stuff (info, cc, etc) stay on the screen. I have 
been attempting to fix it for myself but have not been able to track the 
piece of code down that is scaling it. I found code that have wchange 
and hchange in the osd.cpp file but the debug I put in never prints out 
when I press 'W'. Any pointers or someone willing to make this an option?
