HTPC and 3d Blue ray

[Ichinisan]

Yeah, I know where the options are, but it simply doesn't do anything. If I remember correctly, if I even try to save a profile with the slider at anything but 100%, it refuses to do it. It makes me wonder if something is really borked with my GPU driver's profile, and that I should probably just find out how to delete it and start over.



I have everything hooked up through a receiver, so wouldn't that be an issue? If I remember correctly, those sort of settings are usually controlled on a per-connection basis. The problem is that things that do and things that do not need overscan correction are connected through my AVR. I've run into this catch 22 in the past with other issues. :\

It's a global setting on my old KDL-52XBR2. Even TVs that treat it as a per-source setting will probably default to overscan all inputs except VGA.

It would only be an issue if you configured your receiver to control the resolution (i.e. video post-processing through the receiver), which you shouldn't do. Any receivers I have ever used with HDMI allow video pass-through so the video is untouched from the source. Also, the video sources themselves don't actually determine overscan. They simply send a signal at a specified resolution. Only your TV may be subject to overscan, if it's a CRT or RPG, and in the case of an HTPC that overscan can be corrected through the video drivers. I use an old JVC RPG that requires overscan correction and the Intel iGPU driver control panel works just fine for that. For LCD/LED TVs, I've never seen one that doesn't have a 1:1 pixel format setting, even the cheap ones. Not saying they don't exist, I've just yet to see one.

So, that 1:1 setting worked! I didn't even know what it was called or where it was until I looked it up. I also completely uninstalled XBMC (including profile) to fix my weird playback issues. To give you an idea, in Neo, most of my video description icons (e.g. The h.264 icon) were jumbled.

Now, I just need to research smart playlists with a shared library!
