How to Adjust Video Screen in Kodi Jarvis/Krypton

Adjusting Video Screen in Kodi

Have you ever opened your Kodi and found that the screen is "Skewed" or looks like it's zoomed in and the edges are missing ?
Well here's a fix that everyone will be able to apply to Kodi 16.1, Krypton 17 and all Forks. Understanding where and how to adjust the video screen is one of the easiest fix that anyone can do. But before we begin, it's always a good idea to check your Android device settings. You may have to adjust your settings there as well.

Go to Main settings in your Device. (Android Box)

Select display settings or Screen resolution. (varies depending on the Android version)

Disable auto-detect HDMI.

Now set it manually under HDMI output mode settings to 1080p, 50hz or you can set to what suits best according to the capacity of your TV manually by selecting it from the options on it.

How to Adjust/Calibrate

First of all, for the purpose of this article, all work was done on a PC for the screen captures. In addition, Kodi Jarvis 16.1 with no build was used. Instructions to adjust Krypton will be included at the end. Because the method is the same for both versions of Kodi, I'll only show where to find the settings to adjust.

adjust

So lets start by clicking on System in Kodi, then select System again (located at the bottom)
Ensure you are "Expert Level", if not simply click on it until it changes.
Scroll up to Video Output (1.), as shown in above photo and then move over to Video calibration (2.) and click.

Four Click Solution

In the next screen you see, there will be 4 tasks you need to complete.
Task #1. Move the cursor with a Mouse or use the remote to move to the top left corner. If a Tablet with the "touch" feature is enabled, use your finger to "click" on the indicator.
Task #2. All tho not shown in the above photo, there will be the same indicator there as you see at #1.
Do the same as instructed in Task #1.

adjust

Task #3. Move the cursor to the bottom of the screen and a Horizontal line will appear. This will be where the Subtitle text position will appear when enabled. Most prefer to leave that where it is.

adjust

Finally, Task #4. Move the Cursor to the middle of your screen and a Square will appear. 99% of the time it is already set so there shouldn't be a need to adjust it. Screen Adjust is now completed. To exit, if using a keyboard, click the "esc" key, if using the remote use the "back" key. If you are using a Tablet with touch feature enabled, "slide up" from the bottom and select the "back icon"

Krypton Screen Adjust/Calibration

For those using Krypton or Krypton Forks :

Select System.

System Settings.

Display (Red Arrow #1.)

Scroll down to Video calibration. (Red Arrow #2.)

Follow the same procedure as described in the Jarvis Version.

IN CONCLUSION

Understanding what needs to be done is half the battle. Many of you have an understanding of where to Adjust your screen. But there is another growing group who as a result have become overwhelmed with what to do with Kodi issues.

First of all, lets explain what an API Code is : Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact. Additionally, APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. An application programming interface key ( API key ) is a code passed in by computer programs calling an application programming interface (API) to identify the calling program, its developer, or its user to the Web site.

Click Here: Kodi Add-on by SkyDarks

Click Here is one of the newest Fork and it has a very clever name. Invoking you to just “click here” to get all the movies and tv shows you could ever want. This add-on doesn’t have any of the “extras” that some of the other forks have; however, it does work nicely. Click Here has all the sames features you enjoyed in Covenant including the ability to add Trakt and Debrid accounts. I like that the developer Swiper kept it close to the original and just changed up some artwork. Click Here: Current version of this addon is 1.0 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help. You can unblock many “dns censored” sources with a smartdns solution If you use p2p add ons, torrents, or in countries that prohibit streaming use a vpn from a reputable provider like Private Internet Access .

If you have been using Kodi third party addons for any length of time, you cannot have missed the controversy that always seems to surround TV Addons and the antics of its owner, Adam Lackman. In recent history there have been a number of high profile repo “hacks” and if you think back a little further, there was the DDOS hidden in the popular Exodus add-on. TV Addons Hack & Virus History Exodus DDOS “bot” So if you dont recall TV Addons hugely popualr Exodus add-on had some code added to it to DDOS attack. This was in response to a clone or fork of the addon that TVA took exception against. This seems rather bizarre given the amount of forks that are flying around now! Here is a link to that article. Exodus Botnet We did remove a lot of the post – but heres some links showing the code and how it was added; Exodus DDOS code Target of DDOS TVA & Indigo Repo Hijacks So lets review the repo hijacks – hotly denied, but who else has a v...
