NWGiles 10 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hello I upgraded my htpc in the lounge from win 7 to win 10, HTPC is connected to the tv via HDMI over CAT7. Since upgrading to Windows 10, when I turn the TV off, and then back on again, EMBY theater resizes smaller, but only the front layer. I have attached pictures to show what happens when I play content without resizing. Once the tv is back on the front layer ( with the play pause options ) stays small but the back layer where the video plays resizes back to full screen as I would expect. I have read the other raised issue around this and I have the appropriate wndows 10 drivers, I have tried this with other VLC , WMP and even the EMBY windows app, everything else resizes full screen just not theatre. I prefer theater but its a problem (especially with the kids) getitng a keyboard out constantly to resize. Picture 1.png - when tv is turned back on this is what I see, if I press the full screen button (middle button top left) it goes back to the normal window and you get the blue windows background around it Picture 2.png - shows what happens if I play content like this ( video full screens but no the front layer) Picture 3.png - when I press stop this is what happens so the menu loads as normal but the 2nd layer with the video stays where it is behind. Please can this be fixed thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 first we have to find out what's causing it. curious, what is your windows dpi setting or system zoom setting? if they';re not 100%, can you try that? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmac 132 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I have a similar issue, when I turn my TV back on ET is smaller, like in your screenshot, but doesn't have the empty black space around it, I can see my desktop underneath it. I've also noticed Rainmeter does the same thing, and I have to refresh my Rainmeter skin to get it to fill my desktop, so I don't believe it's strictly an ET issue. Even my Windows screen saver will only take up roughly 1/3 of my desktop every once in a while when I turn my TV on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I have the same issue in ET on Win10. You can maximize it once to go to full-scree windowed and twice to go full screen. If you have any tests you want run Luke I'll be happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrage 13 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Same here. Windows 10 HDMI to my tv. Only seems to happen when I leave it running and come back and turn the tv on. This isnt strictly Emby related and happens to quite a few apps when the tv turns off (in essence the pc loses connection to its monitor over hdmi) Not sure if Kodi links are allowed here if not please remove it but there is some handy information in here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=158432 And here is a reg hack that may work for some http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/windows-7-half-fullscreen.71785/page-26#post-728795 And some more solutions if you dont want to mess with the registry http://superuser.com/questions/267086/how-to-stop-windows-resizing-when-the-monitor-display-channel-is-turned-off-sw Edited March 18, 2016 by Lawrage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my Windows screen saver will only take up roughly 1/3 of my desktop every once in a while when I turn my TV on. I've seen this issue if you maximise the Emby window before it has gone full screen. i.e. As it's loading in the smaller window (I think this is when it does it's updates etc.) if you maximise this smaller window, you will have scaling issues when it goes full screen.

Luke 37095 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 is your resolution the same as your display's native resolution? do you have multiple displays connected? if so then for the purposes of testing, try reverting those to default and see if it makes a difference.

TroyBennett 9 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I have the same issue...for me I notice it when I turn the TV off, but leave Emby running...when I come back and turn on my TV after a couple house, is is that way.... I'm running on windows 10, running my TV in 2160p mode..My settings to zoom the size of text, apps, and other items is up to 250% Ill try changing the zoom on windows to 100% for a while and see if that helps.

TroyBennett 9 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Well the zoom setting in windows is not the problem...i just tried it, turned my TV off...then about 5 minutes later turned it back on and it was about 1/12th the size of the screen.

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I don't think this is an Emby issue. It has been ongoing on other platforms for years. Basically, you need to restart Emby after shutting down the television or shut it down Emby before you turn off the television to prevent the problem. Maybe something in these threads might help out in the right direction: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=127086 http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=202485 http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=177660 http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=158432 https://www.reddit.com/r/kodi/comments/3uhlkm/kodi_151_doesnt_keep_resolution_when_changes/? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWGiles 10 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I have 1 tv connected to htpc.I leave Emby theatre running I turn the tv off with remote.The tv is a 4K lg tv, running in 1900 x 1080 as it always has.Same tvSame htpcSame Emby theatreOnly difference is the upgrade to Windows 10. It never did this on Windows 7, I upgraded a week ago.The resolution of the tv is the same, my graphics card is win 10 compatible.The Emby Windows app doesn't do it, neither does anything else I have tried. Even the web version of theatre tv.Emby.media works perfectly, just not theatre.This is what is confusing me Edited March 20, 2016 by NWGiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB 26 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Add me to the list too, after turning off the tv for a few hours its showing smaller. If we had a good shortcut to turning off emby that we can map to the harmony hub it could be a nice bandaid until it can be fixed. I guess I can do what I read in another thread to launch it again with winkey+# and kill it with alt+F4 but does emby do any maintenance after clicking close that might cause issues with force killing it?

NWGiles 10 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Right I have sorted mine but it doesn't explain much. I have changed graphics cards from amd to nvidia. This now works but it doesn't help as they aren't fancy cards both graphic cards are basic fanless media cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic.bertie 23 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I dont know if this is exactly the same as my problem, see pics. Its only when the actual movie is playing i get an odd size and position, the rest of the program is fine. I have been using Emby for a long time now and nothing has changed recently except the new emby theatre. I use windows 7. As a test i tried the portable version of the old emby theatre (download from sticky post). It works perfectly and i never had this issue with the older version. I did notice the video renderer was set to EVR+ on the older emby, i opened new emby, set the video renderer to EVR+ and hey presto the movies now play the way they are supposed to.

Yes only during playback, regular browsing is fine. I just tried something, old emby, EVR+ and Madvr work fine. New emby, only EVR+ works fine, madvr seems to cause this problem. Edit , due to a subtitles problem, Luke suggested i reinstall emby. As a result there is good news, reinstalling emby worked, my subtitles are now displaying fine. The CC button is now shown, it was missing before, all in all emby is much faster now, it was a bit slow before and it would hang while waiting on movies to start. It seems fine now. More good news, my screen size is now fixed, madvr and evr+ both work fine now. Edited March 22, 2016 by mystic.bertie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBennett 9 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Here are the things that cause this situation for me: 1) turning off the television then turning it back on 2) playing video for an extended time (over 2hrs, could be longer as usually I fall asleep when it happens) Note: when It happens via playing a video for too long, the video remains full screen. It happens when I exit the video. For example, I was watching TV Series last night and because it will play the next episode automatically, when I woke up it was still playing episodes, still full screen.....I exited the video and the screen changed and was about 1/4 the size it should have been. I tried two other programs on my computer and turned the television off then back on.... I could not recreate the same situation with it. One was a normal program (HD Homerun Config), I had it maximized and turned the TV off then back on....when It came back on it was still full screen. The second program was a windows store program, don't remember the name, with the same results as the first program. I wanted to try a program that uses DirectX in some way. But I didn't have anything installed that I knew uses it. Edited March 22, 2016 by TroyBennett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitsville 37 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yeah me too. I am just in the process of switching to Emby from Plex (will be final when the 2015 Samsung app is launched in the UK) and i just totally love the theatre client. The resizing is slightly annoying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
