Question about video size on screen (Raspberry Pi 4b) (LE10)

1st Official Post

    Hi guys,

    I have LibreELEC 10 beta running on my Raspberry Pi 4b (4GB). I'm running the latest Nightly every day.

    I have a couple of 4K UHD rips on my NAS which I playback on my Optoma 4k UHD35 beamer.

    Several video's output differently on screen, while the Kodi UI is calibrated perfectly.

    Some video's need a positive zoom and some video's need a negative zoom to fill the projection screen edge to edge.

    I apologize for my n00b description but I guess you'll get what I'm saying.

    How is this possible? Why aren't the video's filling the screen correctly? Any idea's?

    Cheers,

    Rob

    Please post photo's of what you mean.

    All I can think of is the fact some movies are 16:9 vs 21:9. You really shouldn't touch the kodi GUI calibration at all and instead use the display's picture options to "fill" the screen ("HD mode", "just fit", etc).

    Also, if calibration is used, as far as I know it is only applied for the resolution that is in use at that time. So if applied to the UI, it would not apply to videos which were using a different resolution. If you do need to apply calibration to videos then you should apply it while displaying a video which has problems with the default setting.
