XBMC menu and video

[tiguy82]

Hi,


I own a Tronsmart S89H and I am using XBMC 14 nightly and I notice that every time that I start a movie it shows a black rectangle with the size of the top menu but if I change the video format from normal to zoom and then back to normal the black bar goes away.


It happens with any Skin!


Did anyone notice this before?


When I open the video is already like this:

The menu:

After I change the video format:

oh yes, exactly what i have and few other users have reported this including me in xbmc forum and i posted about it in one the the many rom threads and noone has replied with a fix or something. so for now we will have to play with the video setting to get rid of the black bars every time until someone come up with a fix.

hope u have better lunck than me.

last night installed leola's rom that comes with stane's xbmc build and the black bars are gone, tested with different videos.

Is it compatible with the S89-H?

I found the problem on the Android boxes.

The problem is from the video setup between Android and XBMC.

To fix: In android "settings/display/display position" my setting was at 86%.
I increased to 88%. (Yours may only need increasing 1%)

Now in XBMC "settings/system/video/calibration" Calibrate as you normally would.

All videos fullscreen and letterbox should be normal without top and bottom black bars overlaying video.

I hope this helps....it was driving me crazy

I will try it as soon I get home!

It seems that it cuts part of the movie from top and bottom but with this trick the bar extend to the whole wide nice trick
