Hi all, I'm new to XBMC. I've searched for an answer to my issue on here, but I'm coming up a little short.
I have installed XBMC on both my laptop running vista x64, and my 5 year old desktop running XP. Everything looks great on the laptop, the issue is with my desktop.
I have the desktop connected via VGA out to my 42" Pioneer plasma. I used Powerstrip to add a 1360x768 resolution to my desktop pc so I get a perfect image on the plasma. Whenever I have played AVI files through windows media player, everything has looked awesome.
The issue is that XBMC looks like a color setting may not be correct. The resolution itself seems to be ok, it matches up well, and if I bring up the pattern that allows you to stretch, it goes to the corners as it should.
However, it seems to color-band extremely bad, like it's running in 16-bit color or something. If I play a file in WMP, looks fine. Launch it through XBMC, and it goes to poo. The resolution is set to the 1360x768. Any ideas on what I could check?
