Client UI resolution on ultrawide monitor

[Ganbou-Ki]

Kia ora,

I use a single ultrawide monitor (3840x1080) on my PC with NextPVR for Windows.

In v5, the UI is cramped when the client is sized to 1920x1080:


and the background is stretched when the client is in fullscreen (3840):


This occurs regardless of what the UI Resolution is set to (in Client Settings > General).  I even had a go at putting <UiResolution>3840x1080</UiResolution> in the config file, to no avail.

Not sure if I'm missing some other setting or if this is a genuine bug.  The UI in v4 stays in proportion regardless of client resolution.  It's purely cosmetic but is keeping me from upgrading to v5.

Sorry, you're probably out of luck on that shaped screen. it kind of only really knows how to cope with 16:9, 16:9 and 4:3 shaped screens. I'm surprised v4 would be any different.

You can probably replace the C:\Program Files\NextPVR\data\skin\Default\background.jpg file with a more appropriately shaped image so that the background isn't stetched out of shape.

Cheers – much appreciated.

Alternatively, if you’re in Wellington, you could probably bring the monitor around sometime, and I could see if I can make a few tweaks to the app to improve the behavior with this type of monitor

I am, but this monitor is pretty much cemented into my setup here!  I shall donate instead.

Next release fixes this UI Resolution setting not working, and adds 3840x1080 into the dropdown.
