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. Consequently, creating these Blogs will hopefully enable those who have just discovered Kodi enjoy all it has to offer.

Ares Wizard - Retro Gaming

The Ares Wizard has had a few upgrades to bring more of what users demand, easy android installs and retro gaming being sought by many, so grab yourself a game controller and prepare to transform your android boxes in a few clicks, retro gaming is now on the Ares Wizard! Archive Logins Just before we delve into those updates, I also wanted to point out that Mr Dobson has figured out how to log into Archive via Kodi – this may make your eyes glaze over, so I’ll be brief; the high demand builds hosted on Archive recently hit a problem, where Archive forced logins to download – normally something of a bind from android boxes. Well if you create any account (even if you don’t actually use it) this login can be entered and this allows downloads from Archive – Ares is the ONLY Wizard to be able to do this. (take note Ares does NOT store this info, so you will have to key it in each time you are prompted to do so) Android Apps A few additional apps have been added...

TV Addons - Crypto Mining Hack

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...

Deleting Old non-working URL's from File Manager

Deleting URL’s from File Manager We have all used the File Manager in Kodi to install different URL’s for various links to Repositories or Add-ons. Links become redundant for a number or reasons; however, the most common reason is abandonment by the developer. A perfect example is the TVA Fusion link, it became invalid and the link will no longer connect. Why remove the url links ? Keeping these URL links installed in File Manager is harmless, but keeping the file manager uncluttered is never a bad habit. Some of you may have typed the wrong url address by mistake. Instead of removing it right away, you just re-type the correct url address. I know how easy that is having done that myself on occasion. As a result, you have many duplicate sources in your File Manager section. The removal method is exactly the same for Jarvis & Krypton. Yet, I have combined photo examples for both just so you can follow along. While I was...
