I just set up myth. I must say its very much cool. You guys have done a awesome job. Hail Knoppmyth!!!!!
I just have a small problem. The live tv is not covering the entire television screen. Also, I see a BLUE line on the left side and on the top when I play live tv.
What and where do I have to change what configuration to utilize the entire TV screne.
I have got a Sony's KV32FS120 32" FD Trinitron® WEGA® TV http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servle ... tId=173029

My aspect ration is set to 4/3

I think that the live tv video is shifted to a little right and a little bottom.

Well since you didn't say what kind of hardware you have iot's hard to tell you how to fix your overscan problem. With an Nvidia card using the nvidia-settings utility is your best bet. http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NvidiaSetup

As for the blue borders: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=BlueBorders

Thank you for a heads up I have got a nvidia 5200. A hauppauge pvr 150...(actually I bought a hauppauge pvr 250 off ebay.. that’s what it said there... but when I was configuring remote while installation of myth frontend I had to select option d which said "d. PVR-150 w/ transmitter and receiver" coz when I choose "b. Grey remote" my remote was not fully mapped... any idea which PVR I have got???)

Can you give me more resource to try now that I have reveled more details?

Thanks … Have a great day!

Seems like I made apretty good guess the first time.

Add these two lines to the beginning off your /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps file like the wiki page says.

Restart the frontend, fire up nvidia-settings (as per the wiki) and tweak your overscan.

The GUI is AWESOME!
tjc, thank you for all you patience. I very much appreciate all the help!
nvidia-settings --display=:0 was nice!
I got the gui up and adjusted the settings... but have a few glitches.
- when I restart the box and launch mythtv, it goes back to the original settings "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" is not really working
- The Overscan settings is zooming the video not shifting it... is this the only setting we can apply?

Thanks again!
Have a good one!

Are you running nvidia-settings at the mythtv user? Look for the .nvidia-settings-rc file

Hello tjc,
I will try the code soon. (Don’t have access to my box right now)
But before that have a quick question... The picture quality of the live TV is a little depreciated as compared to what my settop box when connected directly to TV is giving.
Any tweaking I could possibly do? Is it in the capture setting?
In the recording settings of the following
* Default
* Live TV
* Low Quality
* High Quality
I have all of these 4 options setup the highest resolution of I think 720x480.
Also, I don’t think the overscan is carping up the resolution, as when I was setting the overscan and reduced it the resolution wasn’t any better.
I think it’s the capture card which I have to get into. What do you say?

Thanks again for being around!
Cando!

Remember picture quality relates to bit rate as well as resolution, so you need to set an adequate (higher) bit rate for the higher resolution.

Hello tjc,
I just checked


it looks the same.

also I have pasted the below stated code in /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps


but when I restart my myth box it dosent switches to nvidia settings. Any thing that I am doing wrong?
And also how to change user settings in Linux and how to see the user list?
I am thinking of giving all user admin rights and check if that makes any difference.

Thanks a lot!

It's not supposed to pop up the application, it's just supposed to apply the settings in the file. Try this to see if they're what you think thaye should be:



Don't. That would be a bad idea and wouldn't help.
