michaeljc70 0 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) So, I searched and read many posts about this. I modified the registry for the media extender. I changed the overscan options in the MB configuration on the extender. I got rid of the blue bar around the screen when browsing videos. However, when I play a video, it still has the blue bars. The zoom buttons don't work and cause the video part of the screen to go black. I am running the latest version of MB on my extender. Any ideas?

ebr 14858 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I don't have any ideas other than all the suggestions in here: Media Browser Classic is not displayed on 100% of the screen. How to troubleshoot overscan issues What kind of extender is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeljc70 0 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Playing with the overscan numbers in the settings on the extender I can get the blue bars to disappear when playing video. However, the screens where I am not playing video I can't see the edges and some controls are off screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution tornadotj 6 Posted January 12, 2015 Solution Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Don't alter those on the extender's MBC client. Alter them in the registry on the media center box acting as the master. I copied this from Coolspot's post. you can only access the registry key you need to when you xbox 360 has media center turned on. for me it's under HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2524208145-3360545369-606345252-1004\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\MCE.PerUserSettings You'll have to find out which user your Media Center Extender uses. Go look under HKEY_Users...note what's there. Then turn on the xbox 360 in media center mode and go look again...you'll see added user. Make the changes to the "marginSaved" top, bottom, left, right that you need. Then restart your xbox and fiddle with it until it's right. Each Xbox 360 has it's own HKEY_USER that only appears when it's in media center mode. Change the Margin Saved value to 1 and change all the other margins (top, bottom, left and right) to 0. I found this worked better than messing with the xml file. ***** It is easier to do than it sounds. Edited January 12, 2015 by tornadotj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeljc70 0 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks. That worked. I think I was changing the registry for the wrong extender last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
