White dotted lines at top of tv recordings

[Rainbowserpant]

Hi there

I record a lot of music videos with next pvr.

Some recorded music videos show a dotted white line across the top of the edge of the video.

NOTE - it only happens with some video clips, it seems to depend on the aspect ratio of the video clip whether it happens or not?

When viewing the video clips live on tv in next pvr or kodi the whole videos are stretched to the edges of the screen so there are no black borders around the edges usually.

However when I then view the recording the video is smaller with a black border showing around it rather than stretched to the edge of the screen like the live original?

Is there a way to make the recordings record and/or playback the same way (ie so the video clip takes up the whole screen), I assume this would resolve the problems of the white lines?

If not is there some way to stop the white lines?

I have attached a logs and 3 screenshots, 1 shows video without the white lines, 2 others show the white lines.

I appreciate any assistance.

Pressing F7 while playing a recording will cycle through the various aspect ratios that are available ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...spectRatio

I see this on old TV shows with 4:3 aspect ratio. Always been that way.

These white dots are closed caption data encoded into the picture by the broadcaster. On a regular TV there is usually some overscan, so these dots are usually hidden off the edge of the screen. Pretty much your only options are to learn to ignore them, or also apply some overscan or aspect ratio to push them off the edge of the screen.

Thanks for the reply and assistance.

Is there instructions or a guide how to apply some overscan or aspect ratio to push them off the edge of the screen?

You can edit AspectRatioModes in config.xml ...

You can add your own mode to the list as well as edit the ones that are already there
