Alaska Theme for WDTV Live Streaming (Revised 3-12-12)

Love this theme. Very clean yet at the same time full featured.

 

Couple of questions:

 

  • This uses the same metadata to display as the WDTV default Mochi theme, right? So no moviesheets?
  • By default the theme doesn’t display the time all the way. Setting the screen to 75% in display settings on the WDTV seems to fix this. Just a clarification, this doesn’t change the resolution of videos played, does it?

@jwlyons:

What fennec replied is correct.  

  1. No movie sheets, it just utilizes the data that the device downloads.

  2. Regarding the display of the theme, if part of the theme is getting cutoff, your tv may have overscan enabled.  On the TV (37" Sharp LCD 720p from 2008)  I have had my device  connected to I also experienced portions of the theme being cutoff.  This was due to overscan on my TV.  The overscan basically stretches the picture several percent in each direction.  They do this to remove picture noise that can be found on some TV channels.  Newer HDTVs have a setting typically to view full or screen fit (on Samsung TVs) or something similar to this.  This will display the exact image w/o overscan.  

Hope this helps & thanks for the kind words.
