Hi,
I just installed XBMC via Patchstick. Everything loads up fine, although for some reason the display is not full screen. It shows as a OS X-looking window about 50 of the screen, centered at the top.
My Apple TV setting is 1080p, which is the resolution of my TV. When changing the resolution in XBMC from the appearance settings all of which make a window that is too big for my screen.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
C.

Yes, the resulting image was too large for my display, I can make out the "accept" button - should I select that and hope for the best?

davilla, the only fullscreen one is 1280x720 (fullscreen), my appletv settings are set to 1080p though.
Even tho 1280x720p looks like its filling up the screen, when i play a song the left side looks a bit cut off for some reason. My TV signal is showing that its in 1920x1080@60hz, but the setting i have it on in xbmc is 1280x720 (fullscreen). I switched back to auto and that didnt seem to help either, it took me to a white screen saying xbmc title bar and it didnt look like it was too large to fit my tv screen. Any ideas?

i too am having the exact same problem as you. how did you fix this? i have atv settings at 1080p, currently i am using 1280x720 (fullscreen) setting under XBMC, but im not sure if this is optimal since my tv native is 1920x1080p.
Im using a samsung lcd 1080p, HDMI connection.

Whats the point of using 1080p? I though the Apple TV could only support 720p? Or is that just for the menu?

I am trying to get the resolution correct, and as I was trying out different resolutions, one of the settings put the "accept" or "no" off the screen so I couldn't see which one I was supposed to select. I ended up clicking the "accept" so now I can't see anything except the top 10% of the XBMC menu. Is there a way to reset to default so I can continue trying to find the correct resolution setting?
