Any Kodi experts.?

After I go into it, it always jumps to an oversize screen for no apparent reason.

Most of the screen disappears out of sight.

Have set up the overscan screen to the correct size.

This is on an Nvidia shield.

Photos of what you're seeing would help.

What resolution are you running on the NVidia?

I think there'll be some sort of mismatch on the NVidia and Kodi video setting first...then IIRC there's a calibration tool you can use in Kodi that gets you to use the arrow keys to make a shape in the middle square and/or see some right angled lines top left/bottom right etc for finer adjustment.

Is the overscan on the Shield itself or is the Shield displaying onto a TV that is then overscanning?

Have used the keys to get the arrows in the correct positions.

Sorry, forgot to say this is on 720 resolution, doesn't do it on 1080, but screen has black borders top and bottom on 1080.


TV is a panasonic 1080.

The overscan only happens when using kodi on the shield.

At all other times everything is fine.

When I first go into Kodi, picture is fine , then after going into the menu it suddenly jumps into an overlapping picture.

[Murph7355]

Are the black bars on 1080 because the TV has adjusted the screen ratio?

Do you use any other apps on the Nvidia?

A photo of what you're seeing would be useful.

Sorted now, seems to be a common problem with the shield and Kodi.

Reddit had a topic on it.
