ab123ga 11 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I am trying out these themes and like them quite well. However, the new player in classic requires the marginbottom, right, left, top to be set to zero or you get a blue frame around the video. Changing works for the standard frames however when you use these themes you lost the edges. in order for the edges to show I have had to set the margins to around 20 but then when the video plays, I'm back to the blue border. Any thoughts on how to make this work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab123ga 11 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Forgot to add. This is only on the xbox extenders. No issue with the HTPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariors44 18 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 lee hasn't updated his themes in quite awhile. I would try chocolate and see if that works better for you and if it does, then you have to wait for Lee to update all of his themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on how to make this work. The reg should be set to 0 for margins for the video player to show full-screen(on the pc extending to your xbox) , and I believe we solved that issue earlier this week for you. If one of Lee's themes need margins, try clicking the settings cog(in media browser on the xbox) and scroll to the advanced section. There you can adjust the margins, and I believe they will not affect the video playback. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab123ga 11 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I checked 3 of the 4 themes and there are no options resize the area that I can see. I've reverted back to the choc and subduded...which work fine. Thanks for the review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be why you didn't see the advanced tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab123ga 11 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Bud... I found what you were talking about and the same issue exists. I can change the overscan/underscan values and that results in the same issue has making the changes via margintop bottom, etc. If you change to fit the custom themes then when you play a movie you get the blue border again. If you fit to ensure the movie has no blue border, the themes are missing stuff on the edges. The method in MBC was harder to change though less destructive if you make an error than regedit.

ebr 14925 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 And this is only a problem on these themes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariors44 18 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 ebr, I think this problem with lee's themes, Chocolate works fine on htpc and 360 extender for me after some adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab123ga 11 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Sorry for the delay... Yes it is only with the themes mentioned. Choc, Subduded, Diamond and default are all ok on the extender. Note Lee's themes work fine on the HTPC...the issue is specifically /w the extender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedavies 301 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yes, my themes automatically adjust the margins to fit on extenders. Now the classic player has been updated and it doesn't properly fill the screen on an extender, you need to do a manual adjustment of the margins to make it fit. That makes my themes expand beyond the screen margins. I've got an update coming with an option to turn off the "auto extender margins" feature in my themes so they work nicely with the latest MB update that requires you make a manual margin adjustment.

leedavies 301 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Breeze, Crystal and ROC updates have just gone live with a new "Automatic Extender Layout/Margins" setting in the Display section of the config for each theme. Turn this feature on to automatically adjust the extender screen margins (current behavior) Turn this feature off if you've made manual adjustments to the margins and want to override the theme's auto margins fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
