Hi,
I'm French. Excuse me for my bad english !
I have the same problem as "Ozoeur" (It seems to me).
My TV is a Samsung LE37S86BD 37'' 1380X768 60 hz
Kodi is installed on my box android Freebox mini 4k (France).
Both are connected by an HDMI cable.
An external hard drive (NAS) plugged into the box contains movies and TV series (most divx mp3 or ac3 in avi or mkv containers).
The resolutions are different depending on the movies.
The resolution of TV series generally pose no problem since such videos generally have resolutions that correspond to that of the TV screen. There is no black band.
There is however a bug of reading with the films which are not encoded in 16/9:
- Kodi wallpaper appears behind instead of traditional black bands, which is not comfortable for the eyes when played.
- When I press the OK button on the remote control, the black bands appear with the information at the top and the controls and playback settings at the bottom (that's normal!).
- But when I press the same OK button again (or the "escape" button) to make the information, options and controls disappear, then the same information, options and controls will start to glitter instead of disappearing ... !!! It's even more unpleasant.
I spent two hours in the settings of KODI and the French Box “FreeBox”, but found nothing to fix this bug!
Impossible to play a such movie comfortably on my TV trough KODI.
I work at my office for the moment, and can't send you "log files" yet ! Perhaps tonight ?
But if anyone has an idea to fix this bug ?
Thanks
