I've a problem with XBMC on Apple Tv.

The overscan settings via Video Calibration keep resetting now and then.

I searched the forums and see others mention the same thing happening on a variety of platforms. No solution appears to be provided, so am raising this as also occurring on Apple TV 1.

Thanks.

no versions, no xbmc.log... no soup.

Sorry, my bad.

HI ! First, this is my first post(or reply) in the forum, I'm an old XBMC user actually, but I always found answers to my problems in the forum So I also want to take the opportunity to thanks Davilla, and all the team, for their amazing work on XBMC Thank you all guys !

Then to go back on the subject, after updating to the last nightly build, I'm encountering the same issue !

What ever I do in the calibration screen, when I hit "Menu" to go back, none of my settings are taken in account, and calibration is restored to default.

here is my log :
http://pastebin.com/d2ZvQdJ5

but I think that then, the interesting part is,

my XBMC version :

Thanks beforehand for your support !

PS: I was just thinking, the way to validate the calibration settings didn't change with XBMC on aTV1, right ?

I am having the exact same issue. Had to revert to a previous release to get my apple tv to save the calibration.

for those who are having the issue of video calibration not saving on the latest nightly I messed around and made a way to roll back to which ever nightly I want.
Here is the thread I made with a little guide on how to do it:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=798584&postcount=3

Also for those having the issue the last nightly for me that doesnt have that issue is this one: xbmc-20110508-6677a2b-master-x86.dmg 08-May-2011 10:42

18.4009

Thank you for the tip, but on my side I think I'll wait for a proper fix in a next nightly build. I mean, yes it's little bit annoying, but anyway once your video is started, it's not really a big deal (for me at least!).

I have the Same problem, everyday I try out the new update but unfortunately this issue was not fixed yet.

In this thread was already posted a solution, but also unffortunally I am not so god damn expert in computers. Is there a solution for dummies?

Thanks
Lepaka

Ok guys, I got it , I just download and install over again the xbmc 10.1 Dhrama version and all works well with the video calibration.

The xbmc revision, don't touch it until got it proper fixed
I loose the nice views and screens recently created, but I can watch the movies in a proper size.


Have fun guys

Davilla,

I know you are super/hyper busy with other features that are maybe more important, but could you have a look at this calibration issue ? That would be fantastic !

I already provided my full log in a previous post, and waiting for the soup !!

thanks in advance,
Oliver.

hey guys, for future refrence could you please post your debug logs via pastebin or something similar?

You mean xbmc.log, right ? if yes this is exactly what i've done :

Thank you Davilla,

Working perfectly now, and btw, the new layout is great !
