Live TV only fills 75% of TV

[maverickme]

On my SonyKD65ZD9 TV I have the following problem.

The picture of the Live TV does not fill the complete TV.

At recording replay, everything is fine

here's an example picture

1/4 of the screen is black and the rest of the image is displayed on the left side.

I have tried the following versions:

vdr plugin - roboTV 0.9.100 - 0.5.1 0.9.101 - 0.5.2 0.9.102 - 0.6.0 git fe4405f - git 597cb4b

[pipelka]

Very strange. Nice TV, btw, ...

Does this happen with all channels ? Do other Live Channel providers (e.g. Google Play Movies) work fine ?

Please post the VDR log output when tuning the channel. Should look like this:

Yes! With the channels I've tested around (~ 50 of 300) Google Play : I still have to test!

OK. The log snipped is from playing a recording. I just want to be sure that the aspect ratio of the tuned live channel is ok. Please post a snippet from tuning a live channel.

[pipelka]

Another question that jumped into my mind: does the EPG view cover the whole screen area ?

[maverickme]

new Log: http://pastebin.com/ddiFcA66 EPG View works in fullscreen

[maverickme]

I tested live channel provider Google Play and its also fullscreen

[pipelka]

Ok. Now we can exclude some weird Live Channels and / or TV issues. It would be great to get a log from your TV when starting playback.

Is it possible for you to grab the log via "adb logcat" ?

[maverickme]

logcat: http://pastebin.com/3Lm03DLT

But the only version with which I get a picture at all is 0.5.0 with all of the later versions the TV remains black, and open EPG or open records the app crashes

[pipelka]

Hmm, ... Ok. Let's recap:

• only version 0.5.0 starts - with a distorted picture
• all other versions crash

Please build the version from "master" (roboTV and VDR plugin) and post the log from the crash. I thought the distorted picture is a problem of all the versions you mentioned. But obviously newer versions crash. We need to fix this issue on "master".

[pipelka]

One more question. Which Android version has your TV ?

[maverickme]

The current git version crashed only once time after channel import, recordings works! EPG does not work! Live TV same as in Version 0.5.0 Picture in 4:3 Format at the left side.

[pipelka]

If it's possible I would like to see a log of every crash that happens. What means "EPG does not work" exactly. What happens, what's the error message, ...

From the logs I see that the TV view spans a layout of 1440x1080:

12-06 19:41:54.477: D/Tvx-TvPlayer(3623): [TunableTvView] TvView.layout(left=0, top=0, right=1920, bottom=1080)

The question is: Why ?

Thanks. I'll walk through the log and check what could be wrong, ...

BTW, populating the EPG takes a couple of minutes (depends on the number of channels), ...

[pipelka]

Please check if the "aspect" branch makes any difference for you: https://github.com/pipelka/roboTV/commits/aspect

It also logs the video size and aspect ratio.

[maverickme]

For further logs I had these days still no time.

But the new version I have already tested (no change).

What is strange in the channelsettings (hide channels) the live tv in the background is screen filling, normal live TV are already only the 75% at the left side

Further logs and tests I can make at the weekend

PS. The VDR log 2 days ago was the wrong to the catlog, the channel was switched to the "Sport1 HD" which really has this 1440x1080 resolution

At the weekend I can do more

[pipelka]

I think I've found something.

I've been able to reproduce the behaviour by manually setting a 4:3 layout of the tv view:

Maybe the TV view is not spawning the whole view on your device. Please check 97083d8fa0a63ea3346273d0a762f0318fcf7439

I have now again tested with the last git version of the app and the plugin Here the logs

Just I had something strange, I switched to ARD (again only 4: 3 picture) went out of the room and when I came back the picture was screenfilled, but unfortunately I have no log of the period.

I will try to provoke this again. If i success, i will try to log it.

[pipelka]

Thanks for the brief logging information.

Hopefully the crash on importing the channels should be fixed with: 0cb50cf2303ba32db9b8a5316a07bef6d6ea3fc6 The crash on streamingchannels settings is caused by opening an activity that isn't part on the specification anymore. To prevent this i could add a dummy activity.

The logs from switching channels do not give a clue. Everything seems correct, ...

[maverickme]

Importing channels is fixed, thanks!

The mail problem solved after install/update https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv app

Now all channels are screenfilled. Thanks.

[pipelka]

Great. I'm really glad that it's working now for you. The good thing is that I now know how to scale the live tv view on the screen ;-)
