Video Calibration is not saved

Hi,

I am using the composite video on my old PAL CRT TV.

After I upgraded from Version 8.x to Version 9.0.2 my video calibration settings are not stored.

I already searched the forum but only found a thread about Version 9.0.1 where "a fix for the next Kodi release" was promised.

Quote from Klojum

There will be a fix in the next Kodi release. Question is, why would you need calibration in the first place? Any decent TV can properly handle a computer signal these days.

With the current version 9.0.2 I still encounter this issue. Is there a way to manually adjust the overscan?

The settings in "config.txt" only affect the splash screen and not Kodi.

I also tried 9.1.501 with Kodi 18.4, but here seems to be is a bug where PAL is nit working at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Andreas

I'm having exactly the same issue with saving the calibration, and since I also tried to update to the following version, now it only starts on NTSC as well.

Great, then I'm not doing things wrong - same problem here with composit PAL and calibration. (and, LibreElec 9.2.6).

I'll guess I have to edit config.txt and hope

Code

disable_overscan=0
overscan_left=?
overscan_right=?
overscan_top=?
overscan_bottom=?

Video calibration settings changes are lost after Kodi restart · Issue #15165 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

it is still broken at kodi, not much we can do

maybe fixed at Kodi 19
