Issue: MC26 GUI issue with MadVR adjusting image resolution and or aspect ratio

<< < (5/5)

tij:
I know it’s small ... but does that top control bar shows correctly when playing movie that switched resolution

Movieman:
I think I found the solution to the GUI issue:

In MadVR display modes, make sure to choose ...
when media player goes fullscreen option
when media player leaves fullscreen option

Do NOT choose ... when playback starts option
Do NOT choose ... when media player is closed option

This seemed to solve this issue for me.

Movieman:
Update on my progress on this issue:

First my custom resource file for anyone else who may be struggling with this:


--- Code: ---<!--
Media Center Resource XML (Default / English)
-->

<MJRS version="1.0">

<!--
COMMANDS:

  Command: the MCC command index
  Text: the string to be used in menus, etc.
  Param: the parameter for the MCC command (leave empty if param doesn't matter)
 
  Text Tokens: [Product Name], [Character]
-->

<!--
ACCELERATORS:

  Key: semi-colon delimited list of key strokes to be pressed (see list below for special keys)
    note that the only valid combinations are: [Key], [Key];Ctrl, [Key];Ctrl;Shift, [Key];Alt
  Type: the type of command (defaults to MCC)
    MCC: the command is an MC command
    Program: the command is a program to run
  Command: the MCC command index / name of program
  Param: the parameter for the MCC command / program arguments
  TranslateFlags: flags that determine when and how an accelerator is translated (binary or'd together)
    1: don't translate in edits, comboboxes, and other data entry controls
    2: don't translate in fullscreen mode or theater view
    4: don't translate in any type of popup window
    8: only translate in fullscreen
    16: don't translate in IE, VB controls, or other unknown rich controls
    32: targets playback engine / display (DVD, image playback, etc.)
    64: only translate when Action Window is focused
    128: not in Theater View
    256: not in report controls
    512: not in web browser
    1024: not in video player
  NoShowAsShortcut: 1 if you don't want MC to show this shortcut in menus, tooltips, etc.
  Global: 1 if you want the accelerator to be translated even when MC doesn't have the focus
 
  Special key list: Insert, Delete, -, +, Right, Left, Up, Down,
    NumPad0, NumPad1, NumPad2 (etc.), F1, F2, F3 (etc.), Backspace, Enter, Escape,
    Apps, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Space, Print Screen, Tab, Multiply ('*' on NumPad),
    Decimal ('.' on NumPad)

  Remember that order is relevant when the same shortcut appears multiple times.

--- End code ---

First things first:
A very obscure implementation, where

1. the Parameter actually decreases in value as the zoom increases and the value seems to have very little  relation to actual zoom percentage shown on the GUI when the i / o zoom option is used
2. the parameter is required to be an integer, which does not allow for sufficient granularity in the sizing of the image.
3. For some obscure reason, a value of 80 doesn't seem to give a valid zoom. (Not sure about this one as I haven't tested it recently.)

So, while the function is there, it certainly could do with some enhancements.

For now, I am certainly happy to have the capability, but I often have to use the i / o keys to fine tune the image size to establish the exact zoom amount to completely eliminate the black bars without eliminating any of the image.
