When I unselect the option it all seems to work until I exit and relaunch the frontend.  Then the original problem returns.

So, if I understand correctly, you go into Settings > > Video Mode Settings and define different resolutions for GUI and playback.  What do you mean by “the interface goes crazy”?  Can you take a picture or screen grab?

Then you say “I unselect the option and it all seems to work”.  Do you mean playback of recordings then fill the screen?

Could you please get the frontend log for such a session.  If you use the Applescript helper to launch the frontend, the log can be found in ‘/opt/dvr/var/log/mythtv.27’.
