Odd zoom behavior

Help and Support Vero V
1

Hi,

I’ve noticed zoom behaves different on my Vero-V compared to my other Vero’s.
When zooming the image doesn’t stay centered but zooms downwards. The top black bar stays.
See images.
I switched skins, but to no avail. Any of you have a clue?
If logs are needed I’ll happily provide them.

This could be a scaling issue. It might be fixed in staging where we support a true 4K resolution.

Does it happen on all files or just some files of a certain resolution?

It happens with both 1080p and 2160p (HDR) files.
However, not all of them?
I tested five 4k files, two had this behavior. And from the three 1080p files two zoomed off center as well.
Was hoping I missed a setting somewhere.

And thank you for this amazing device sir! I really love it.

When you mentioned scaling I went ahead and checked if it was TV (LG CX) related.
So looked at screen shift and overscan options. But to no avail.
Connected the VeroV to my 4k monitor, same behavior.
Continuing same video on my other Vero4k, all centered nicely.
Am I missing a setting inside Kodi?

I don’t think so. I see the same behavior and I don’t remember ever seeing any option to make this kind of an adjustment.

I can reproduce this - seems to be a quirk of the S905X4 chip. @Numiah thanks for the report.

A tiny simple bump.
Is there perhaps a fix in the pipeline? @sam_nazarko
Latest update and hotfix didn’t seem to make any difference.

It looks like this one slipped through the cracks and needs some more investigation.

It went in the ‘too difficult’ tray here, I’m afraid.

I have noticed this to. Does this mean that it won’t get fixed or just got put in the wrong tray ?

I’ll check it over shortly, but if it can’t be fixed for now it can be revisited on new 5.15 kernel.

I am digging up an old post as I am wondering if this will ever be fixed?
The behavior is still the same, even after running all updates available.

No new kernel just yet. It needs to be revisited after that.

This was raised again recently so @tanio99 had a look
The issue should now be fixed.

To test this update:

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Run the following command to add the staging repository:
    echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list
  3. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  4. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.

This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.

Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.

I ran the commands as suggested.
On my end it worked a treat!
I tried several files which were having this issue. All play correctly centered.

Although I have said it a few times before, the continuing support is from beyond this planet!
The versa- and agility from this Vero device is absolutely amazing.

Glad to hear this is now solved.

It will be available in a stable update shortly
