Try for the 3840 x 1600 resolution changing to
default="true"
then change 1920 x 1080 to
default="false"
however if all else fails try deleting all those res width lines apart from the 3840 x 1600 line you added.
Changing the Default Flag in the File didn't work.
I then put the 3840x1600 resolution to the first position in the list, but this didn't work either.
After that I deleted all lines apart from the 3840x1600 line, and than it worked.
Now the Skin is scaling correct, but as long as other resolutions are in the file, it won't.
That suggests to me the set resolution of your pc isn't being detected as 3840 x 1600
If I go to System Information, the resolution is shown correct as 3840x1600
Is the correct resolution set in
Hi,
here is my Setup
and here is what System Info in Kodi displays
I noticed on more problem with the edited file.
The skin is now scaling corretly, but video playback is not scaling proper anymore.
Now the video playback is streched horizontally.

same experience here, in order for a custom aspect ratio to work it has to be the only entry in the addon.xml file, adding the new aspect ratio as an additional line, or positioning the new aspect ratio at the top, bottom or middle of the list has no effect...
on a side note, i'm finding that playing around with the dsplayer's osd settings (move osd into active video area / define visible screen area) in combination with custom resolutions in the addon.xml file can, in effect, turn the kodi skin into a custom 2.35.1 skin given that the dspalyer's settings are global, i.e. they don't just impact the player which i assumed, instead the settings impact the entire skin, which is perfect for my my needs (2.35:1 screen)....
I also have a CIH zoomed beamer -
Wiki point 3 - and i wish Estuary v17 or v18 would support them but actually it doesn't. Estuary only support screens with fixed aspect rations. There are some skins like ScopeNox and AutoNox that have support.
Thanks. In my case it's fine if Kodi treats my screen as being a fixed aspect ratio of 21:9. The original post I quoted suggests that this is supported and supposedly can be selected, but how? Just to be clear, I do not want Kodi to do any scaling to the video at all - I just want it to smartly place the OSD inside the screen area.
Dear @
phil65, I see there was no activity from you recently.
Could you be so kind to inform us if you are going to support you skin further, or we are left on our own?
Thanks, but just adding the resolution screws the layout. So all skin should be tweaked probably
