Edges cropped on all streaming video to certain TV
Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2012 3:47 pmI have an older TV in the side room - a Sony rear-projection HDTV, but in 4:3 aspect ratio. Whenever I stream a video to it via Serviio, the left/right edges are cut off. This is highly annoying. This does NOT happen with any other TV in the house (all the rest are 16:9 aspect ratio). It isn't an encoding issue, as it happens with all videos, regardless of how they're encoded - MPEG-TS, MKV, x.264, it doesn't matter.
FYI: All streaming clients of Serviio in the house are Sony Blu-Ray players. Either BDP-S370 or BDP-S470. Using the correct Sony profile in Serviio 0.6.2.
I did go through the on-screen settings on both that TV and the Blu-Ray player, looking for a setting that may be wrong - I didn't find anything, but that means little (who understands all of that gibberish?).
The only thing that I can think of is the fact that Serviio outputs only 1080p video - I believe this TV is not listed as being able to receive 1080p - 1080i or 720p only. There are a LOT of TV's out there like this - anyone else run into this issue? Maybe it's something else?
