Re: streaming desk top to tv

I think there is a TV setting that will fix that. My TV maps my input resolution to fit the screen, so my WII and my DVR at 480 resolution don't fit in a corner but rather they are mapped to the whole screen.
Similarly my 1280 streamed desktop fills the screen, as does the 1920x1080 from my BR player.
If all your sources are 1920x1080 then you have not needed that auto adjustment but setting it will not impact your normal mode of operation and might fix your problem..
Thats all I can think of.
Thanks for the reply jhb50, but I can't find a suitable setting on my TV covering the point you are making.
Unfortunately I also can't find a user manual for my TV in English for you to glance at the setup menu possibilities with a more expert eye than mine: manuals for my TX-L37GW20 are available only in German, French, Czech, Italian & Turkish.
However, I have found a manual in English for the TX-L42G20E that seems to be pretty much identical with mine apart from the language. If you have the time and are interested in having a look at it, you'll find it here:
http://dlc.panasonic-europe-service.com/EUDocs/GetDoc.aspx?did=190720&fmt=PDF&lang=en&src=3&uilang=en-GB&model=TXL42G20E
On that page, you'll have to tick the "I Accept" checkbox and click "View" to call the Pdf file. The relevant pages are 32 & 33.
Doesn't the fact that photos & videos display OK (full screen) on the TV via Serviio and from an SD card plugged into the TV suggest that all is well on the resolution/image size front?

Can you shed any light on my question "Have you any recommendations re troubleshooting the "grabbing" (whatever that means)?"
