Login at Kodi Home

I am having resolution issue with the nightly build on iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The Kodi app does not seem to utilize the full resolution of the screen and also when i go to Settings -> System the screen goes dark and unresponsive (it used to initially give a message about a screen resolution but that stopped after i selected yes but it would still go dark). I have to kill the App from IOS and then restart it. The app also seems off-center on the screen.

I have tried 18.5 Oct 17 and Oct 19 (latest for now) builds. I forgot to mention: I am on the latest official IOS 13.1.3.

How do i report issues with the nightlies?

Thank you

Issues should be reported on GitHub: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues, but the forum would also do. Please don't forget the debug log!

This was intentionally changed to make the UI not go under the notch (what is called "safe area" in iOS development): https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16719

Sounds like something special on 11 Max (can't reproduce on XR and older devices), as I've fixed a similar issue when screensaver had turned on: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16746. Please attach the debug log.

The old way of using the interface zoom to reduce UI size was working fine for the past two years (on iPhone X). At-least the video was utilizing the full screen size then. Now with this change the video size has also reduced. It feels like a waste of screen real estate.

Is there a way to toggle this back to full size?

The combination of Interface zoom and video player zoom was a good solution for people that were so concerned about the notch.

This does feel like the screensaver has turned on since it fades into a black screen over half or 1 second. Let me figure out how to get the debug log off of the phone.

Thank you

If you still haven't found how to get the log file: https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Easy (you can also connect iOS device to your PC/Mac and get the log file from iTunes - your device - File Sharing - Kodi)

I didn't even know about such option Blush

Thanks for telling!

You have a point, I fully agree.

Currently thinking about an option for this. My current plan is to restore v18 to old behavior (related keyboard fix will still be included) and add an opt-in option for v19. Also checking if it's possible to change to fullscreen when playback starts/stops.
