[mythtv-users] Feature request or pointer to code - OSD cutoff

I wonder if it might be better to have the OSD within the 4:3 safe area
of the 16:9 image which would then meant that if you were in zoomed 16:9
on a 4:3 device that you would still get the OSD fully on screen. It
would be a bit funny looking in some of the modes (none of which
immediately spring to mind..)
Just a thought..
Bill.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Feature request or pointer to code
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?
