black border in fullscreen

Asked by SMarty

Hello,

I am using CMS 1.6.4 and Ubuntu client 1.6

My client desktop (openbox) is set to 1920x1080

In site.cfg i have :
width=1920
height=1080
fullscreen=true

My Layout is 16:9 HD Widescreen

My video is MP4 1920x1080

My screen is Full HD LCD 1920x1080

When displaying my layout, it doesn't display fullscreen but with a black frame.
I tried to change aspect in monitor settings (zoom, 16:9, Native...) but it doesn't change anything

Did that in 2 different Full HD screen, same problem.

What am i doing wrong ?

Thanks you

Your screen resolution isn't 1920x1080 in that case.

You can verify that by taking a full screen screenshot and saving it - and
see that the resolution of that image isn't as you expect.

Failing that, your layout isn't using the 16:9 resolution (confirm that by
checking the in the background section of your layout).

Thank you for your answer.

Yes my screen is Full HD 1920x1080, no doubt about it.
Did the test you suggested by the way, no problem.

Checked my layout. It is using 16:9 HD Widescreen template which is 1920x1080.
I reassigned the background and make it fullscreen to be sure. Same problem.

Checked my media, it is 1920x1080

Keep investigating...

You need to go back and double check everything.

Something isn't 1920x1080 or setup for that resolution. With the video
playing, if you do a screenshot, does the screenshot include the black
bars? If it doesn't, then the black bars are coming from the TV.

If they're there, then either the layout isn't setup for 16:9 resolution or
the video isn't the resolution you're saying it is.

Ok,

It turns out that AMD Catalyst display driver had a 5% overscan set by default.
Turning it back to 0% solved the problem.

thank you for your answers
