Android TV - Live TV Screen too big - Channel Names cut off


Recommended Posts

Posted

Please let me know how to resolve.

If this is a setting somewhere please let me know.

 

When I use the emby ATV app all is fine... when I switch to live tv - the screen is too big and the left side is cut off (maybe right side too?)

Not a problem when I go to the Guide on my android phone, so it seems to be related to the ATV app only.

It appears to be overscan. The Fire TV has a calibrate display function in the Display & Sounds category of the settings. Once you've used it to calibrate the display then that should go away.

There is no calibrate option that I can find on the Nexus Player, I checked the TV and there is nothing under that setup and there is nothing under the emby app.

 

Not sure what else to try? Bug in the app?

 

thanks for your help

My bad, I saw ATV and my brain thought Fire TV (FTV).

Yeah, the Fire TV has overscan settings but the NP does not.

 

You will need to check the options in your TV.  Somewhere in there you can adjust for it.  If not specifically, then by setting a particular display mode such as "just".

I looked under the TV settings... I have the wide, zoom and standard settings that is all.

 

Other options?

Start with standard and then see if you can find any advanced settings for this type of thing.

 

What kind of TV is it?  Most of them have separate settings per input.

At this time, you will have to find a way to adjust it at the TV level.

 

In most of the screens we provide some padding around the edge so this isn't an issue.  But, the live TV guide needs every pixel it can get so I'm not willing to give up this information space for it when it will only be an issue in a very small number of situations.  All display systems should have the ability to adjust for it somehow.

I couldn't fix it on my bedroom tv, a 2007ish Samsung. I had to swap the np and the ftv as the ftv has overscan settings, np now on a newer Samsung tv with justfit or whatever it's called

I dont understand how this works? can you explain it to me?

Why do I  or should I have to adjust the TV when any the Roku application/screen or any other program on the Android Nexus player displays just fine on this TV.

Including other Emby screens display fine. 

 

How the big majority of the apps play fine but just one screen on one application does not but it is a TV problem? 

Please help me understand the logic behind this?

It's not just happening on the live TV screen, it's on every screen, you just only notice on live tv as it's the only one that needs every pixel. As ebr has already said.

 

I spent several months trying to fix it, used some other dodgy android apps that should allow the screen to be resized but nothing worked

I didn't say it was a TV problem.

 

My point is, to make this not happen would mean taking functionality (display of information) away from 98% of the people due to issues with 2%.  Now, when you are a part of that 2%, I understand that sucks but that is just not a cost/benefit I want to employ.

 

IMO not having overscan adjustment at the device level is a fault of the hardware (the NP).  The Fire TV does have this ability as do most modern TVs.
