Not Full Screen After Turning TV Back On

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

I didn’t want to bump an old thread, so instead I figured I’d post a new one. When I searched for the above issue, the only result that seemed to directly point to my issue was located at https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=213851, the first post is quoted below. The way I resolved the issue was not as complex as the replies had suggested. I disabled “Use fullscreen window” under Settings->System Settings->Display. You must be set to Standard or higher (eg Expert) in order to see this setting.

I apologize if this is now a known fix. As mentioned, I did a search and didn’t see anything else related and was frustrated that the suggestions were either blocking a pin on the HDMI cable or messing with EDID info. Hopefully this post at least saves someone a little trouble. Haha.

I had this issue in the last version of XBMC (Gotham) as well so I assume that the issue is Windows based but on the chance that it isn’t I am hoping someone can help out.

Basically I never turn my HTPC off as it updates over night. It the machine has been on for a while and my Receiver and TV are both off when I turn the off I get the following issue.

As you can see XBMC only takes up a portion of the screen and I need to plug in a mouse, close it, and reopen it which is a massive pain. Can anyone give me any ideas what might cause this. Some info which might help.

Kodi v 14
Win 7 x64
AMD Video card running on HP N36L
Pioneer VSX-919AH receiver and Hisense TV
Kodi set to Fullscreen and never turn the display off (I’m testing if it is a power saving issue)
Windows turn display off never

My thought was that the computer when the amp turns on and the tv turns on gets a weird aspect ratio and xbmc gets set to a weird size but no other programs I’ve tested have the same issue. Any ideas what I can test?

Also just as a side note if I turn the TV and amp off then immediately back on (or in a really short span of time) the program is fine. I need to be away from it for a while, like 30 mins plus.
