[mythtv-users] OSD glitch - starts as 4:3 and corrects to 16:9

[Matt Doran]

Hi there,

I've been using mythtv now for about 4 months, and love it.   Over that 
time I've tweaked my setup, and I'm now even running SVN trunk.  So I've 
very happy how things are working.  I've even submitted a few patches to 
fix some of my issues with the auto-shutdown/startup process.   All this 
means that I'm getting more picky on the small things that annoy me.  :)  

I have a 16:9 plasma TV, and when I start watching live TV (DVB) the 
following happens ... the screen goes black and the OSD appears showing 
the tuner in use and the current program details.  The OSD seems to be 
sized for a 4:3 aspect ratio (not taking up the full screen width), then 
once the tuner locks on and the picture appears, the OSD resizes to the 
full width of the screen.  All this happens within a second or so.  It 
just looks a bit ugly.

I'm using the blootube OSD, but the same thing occurs with other OSD 
themes.   I've also cleared the osdcache, just in case there was 
something left over from when I was using a 4:3 screen.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?  Can this be fixed with a setting 
change?   Or is this a glitch/bug in myth?

Thanks,
Matt
