MrMC no longer filling screen with video after upgrade

[RupeThereItis]

Hello,

Long time XBMP/XBMC/Kodi user who recently made the switch to MrMC on my FireTV (1st gen)... loving the simplification of it, REALLY feels like a return to the good ol' days of the OG xbox.. but I digress.

Last night I sat down to watch some videos, and to my surprise MrMC shows the "first time startup" message, I suspect indicating a recent app update.

All was well, the GUI looked perfectly fine, until I started playing a video. At this point, I realized that the video would only fill the top left perhaps 2/3rds of the screen. Again, I made no changes to my configuration & the GUI fills the screen properly (even the menu overlay during video playback).

This is the full FireTV (not a stick) first gen, on reproducing the issue I noted that the last update of MrMC was today (aug 1st) and listed as ver 2.4.

If somehow I'm the first person reporting this issue, I'll gladly provide images & debug logs or any other info that might prove helpful.

Is this a known issue, are there any quick fixes or workarounds I can try?

v2.4.1 should have fixed that issue. Unfortunately, amazon's version is only two digits. Verify that you have the right v2.4.

You are running a 720p Display, right ?

And of course, if you are running v2.4.1, need to see mrmc.log with debug enabled. Email to [email protected]

in my short experience with fire tv amazon doesn't push app updates very well. I have to go ask for them via their web page.

Hmm,

Thanks!
I suspect I'm running the "wrong" version then.

Yes, I'm using 720p output, I've got the FireTV forced to 720p from the system menu because reasons.

I'm not sure how to tell if I have the "right" version of 2.4, as the system info from MrMC itself only gives me a git build #

MrMC 2.4 Git:2016-07-28-35dc90e

I'm assuming that's NOT the version I want & I either have to sideload, wait for amazon to get their act together or try to force an upgrade via the web as was mentioned?

old one,

Should have MrMC 2.4.1 Git:2016-07-31-2768ee0 or something like that, away from a box so can't quote it.

It was build, submitted and released yesterday.

[RupeThereItis]

OK, cool.

Thanks again!

I was honestly surprised it was still an issue, figured you'd be all over fixing it by now.

I guess we'll just have to blame Amazon for not being Johnny on the spot with the upgrades.

Keep up the good work.

I suspect that if we just rolled to 2.5, it would be ok. but this was just fixes to v2.4. oh well, live and learn

If this continues to be an issue, we will push a v2.5 and that should resolve it.

I forced mine to update by going to settings, account, and syncing.
