Hi.
I spent a few hours trying to understand why I had some blurry vertical lines on my TV plugged to my iMac using a Mini DisplayPort —> HDMI adapter. A test with VLC told me it wasn't a Kodi issue. I eventually learned (thanks Kodi forum) that it was due to OSX overscanning compensation tool, that I had to activate because part of the Kodi interface was missing on my screen.
The solution was to deactivate overscanning compensation tool on OSX, which I did, and to deactivate overscanning on my TV, which I learned to do (thanks Google).
Hurrah ! I had a brand new entire and clear image !
But… I soon discovered that an other overscan was applied, only when a video is played in Kodi : thus, the info and menus where partly out of screen. A test with VLC confirmed that this zoom was applied also to the video. Left and right parts of image are missing (on a 2.35:1 movie).
I proceeded to a clean install of Kodi (the test build linked in this thread), but problem unsolved…
Any idea ?
