    This post finally worked for my 2014 Samsung 65 inch TV

    10.10 - How do I fix overscan on my HDMI HDTV? - Ask Ubuntu

    The issue was with the TV, not Ubuntu.

    • Samsung TV - go to Menu / Picture / Picture Options / Size / Screen Fit (instead of 16:9).
    • LG TV - go to Settings / Picture / Aspect Ratio / Just Scan (instead of 16:9)
    • Sony TV - hit Home button, go to Settings / Screen / Display Area / Full Pixel
    • Sharp TV - hit View Mode button, select "Dot by Dot" or "Full screen"

    The post above has more info for specific TVs.

    Thank you Chewitt for your offer to help, but I got past the issue.

    I went to Movies Icon, right clicked and scanned for Content. It started searching through files (displayed in upper right corner), and then it stopped and gave error: "Unable to connect to remote server". I tried changing Movies Content from Movies (Database) to the local file (.ngo?). This scan did not work either.

    Then, I realized I need to fix server connection for Movies Icon content (even though it works perfectly for TV Shows) to the Movies Database which is set to content=Movies. Therefore, I fixed it by doing the steps below:

    1) Under Media Sources ->Multimedia Icon, right-clicked on Mediacenter Icon and set source to my Qnap Server. My username is not "admin", therefore I changed the username to my username, entered my QNAP Server Password, and clicked the button to remember this connection. I remembered getting an "Unknown Workgroup" error earlier, therefore I think I fixed my workgroup name here also (but I can't remember positively).

    2) Next, under Media Sources-> Movies Icon, I right-clicked on the icon and set Content back to Movies (Movies Database) and rebooted to trigger Content Scan.

    This time, the scraping of the Movies worked! My movies show the icons now. Before, my Movies Folder showed only the movie filenames, but not the icons, etc from scraping. Before the fix, I could watch the movies, but I could not see all of the scraping information which I can see now.
