[App] SamyGO Screen Resizer

[arris69]

Thanks for the feedback, everyone; I'll post updated version in a couple of days.
I'm a little surprised that it actually works on LN* models and CI+ models . Good to know; it looks like SdVideo_Settings_t structure is well preserved in different firmware branches.

it cost too much money to rewrite exeDSP for the models

That's strange; remote control should just return to the "normal" behaviour after exiting resize mode (single <blue> keypress).

yes, i think i misunderstood how it's designed
can switch the resolution fine with << and >>

@msurg, @arris69:

Frankly, I don't quite understand what are you guys talking about .. I guess it's about some method for installing content library apps in TV models without Game menu (???).

yes, or start it at boot time

thnx

Hi, this looks awesome, but is it possible to get it to perform pan-scan, i.e. zoom height and width at the same time?

I would like to view 1920x800 as [ -336, 0, 2592, 1080 ], i.e. zoomed to fullscreen (2592x1080), centered, and left and right part of picture that falls outside the screen cropped (into 1920x1080). The application seems to be ignoring this set up at the moment, and won't allow me to zoom above 1920 using Volume+ either. Thanks

Internally, there are two kinds of settings: for "capture" and "geometry" (in Samsung terminology). Cropping/zooming should be performed via "capture" settings (left/right/up/down keys on remote control). I.e, you need to crop left and right parts of the input (capture=[249,0,1422,800]), and stretch the result picture to full screen (geometry=[0,0,1920,1080]).
Currently it's not possible to define custom settings for "capture" in config file (I'll try to add such functionality in new version, ~next week), but arrow keys should work for cropping & zooming.

I used this successfully to cure some overscan on a PC input, and to remove the borders on a letterbox film from an AV source. When I pressed the "0", the PIP screen appeared, but none of the other keys was active in this mode - they just brought up an error message. However, when I pressed "0" again, the PIP remained. It was still there after I switched away to another source and went back, and even after going in/out of standby. As PIP was not in the Tools menu, I thought the TV was broken! I was thinking I might need to revert the software when it dawned on me that PIP is disabled on AV sources - that's why there's no way to turn it off.

Turning the power off at the wall eventually cured the issue (though scarily, this didn't work first time as I didn't give it long enough). So now we have an additional feature - PIP on AV. Just a pity it can't be turned off.
