User interface position needs resetting every day

[darren28]

I had the same problem with the VIX image that was pre-installed I had to re-flash in the end and it is now ok
It just keeps freezing now so need to look into that?

I cannot get the info box on xtrend 8500 lcd screen to actually fill the screen. There is always a border of about 3mm all around the edges. This persists with reflash and skin changes. Quite disappointing. I now have the lcd switched off permanently as constant tv content movement is shown in the 3mm gap around the edge. Seems a strange feature to add when annoyance overcomes usability.
Perhaps could be repaired in any update ?

what settings can be adjusted for front led display?

Yeah I still can't figure this out! If I put tv interface to default it seems to make LCD screen fuller around the sides but then the tv is way off.

No option to turn overscan off on tv?

Line Birdman think it was I've an older 720p Bravia. Maybe. No remote though! Broke

Can you not use the menu button on the side of your tv etc to navigate to settings on tv etc?

Whatever it turned out to be called on the Bravia, maybe I could, yes. It seems fine on the confluence skin though now. Still not understanding how to sort out the LCD screen positron though

For some reason when you change the size displayed on the TV, (because of overscan) on a power off/on or full restart Enigma also changes the size of the frame buffer used by the skin.

So I guess its a bug in the code that sets up the. framebuffer

When you have overscan on the TV and reduce it to fit, you find that if you do a full restart, then skin in the Front lcd display is also reduced by "x" mm and you can see the tv picture behind.

A temporary bypass:- As long you only use standby or gui restart
Always take a settings backup with the screen display at default.
Make a note of the settings when you change the TV display!
Then when I flash, I run through the wizard, restore backup settings then go to the menu/system/user settings and change the TV display settings using the recorded figures.

Provided you never reboot the receiver, it will keep the changed TV settings and not reset the front LCD display.

Meant to have a look before my hols, but as it only impacts my test receiver, not a big issue (for me)!
I guess beware Overscan!

This can be fixed. Using blue hd skin.i set user interface position to default, kept pressing ok on remote to see where channel info box located on tv screen while changing aspect option on my lg tv. Just scan was the one for me. 8500 lcd screen now full....well, for now anyway !
Tv was factory set at original.

Just scan is the option on many TV,s to remove any overscan, hence the front lcd skin is also OK.

So setup with default values in Position setup
255,0,720,0,576
Your 4 settings read 00000240, 000002d0, 0,0
change settings to in Position Setup:
255,22,677,17,543
Your 4 settings are: 0000021F, 000002a5, 00000016, 00000011
TV screen is now fine and LCD display is fine

Reboot

Your 4 settings are same values
But LCD screen has 3 mm gap around skin........ restarting E2 Gui keeps full skin across whole of LCD screen

Hope this is what you want
