Video is shrinked and the rest of screen is blured

Hi Everybody,

I'm having problem playing all of my video files with XBMC, see the screenshot below:

The result is the same if resolution is set to auto or eve if I set XBMC resolution to 1024x768 (FS) and the same resolution for media player.

No such problem when playing directly with MPlayer.

Have anybody experienced this before?

Thank you :)



P.S.: HP nc6000, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, Catalyst 8.8, WinXP SP3

Yes - lots and lots of people have. Search for "glrectanglehack"

I have created this file

C:\Program Files\XBMC\userdata\advancedsettings.xml :

<advancedsettings>
<glrectanglehack>yes</glrectanglehack>
</advancedsettings>

but the result is the same.

I'm wondering if the XBMC is reading this file at all ... because I have made some modifications to rss feeds in C:\Program Files\XBMC\userdata\RssFeeds.xml and I don't see those changes to be reflected when running XBMC

If you start XBMC via the installer link you run it in platform mode. See the link above where the platform directories are.

Ok, the correct file path for me was:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\AppData\XBMC\userdata\advancedsettings.xml

Now the video plays perfectly.


Thanks jmarshall and WiSo !!!
