Greetings, is anyone else missing the fullscreen toggle in the YouTube application while streaming to the TV via HDMI?
If I pull the HDMI cable out the toggle is available again.
Hi,
Does anyone know if we are able to create custom keyboard shortcuts with the a500 if we have connected the device to a USB keyboard? For example, win+f1 and win+f2 could be volume toggles.
Also, does anyone know if there are any ROMS or apps for the a500 that support side-by-side window placements?
Thanks!
Rich
I am not sure if there is a work around for this or not.
When I use MX player to watch a movie, the touch buttons on the screen do not hide like they down when viewing a movie with the stock player.
I also use Timely and the clock feature and I have the same issues with the buttons.
Do face that many apps goes beyong tv screen size, faceing the control tabs are shown not in full range.
In xbmc can change it manully, but maybe this can be somehow changed/configured?
Or each app developer have to add this functionaly to his app?
The example are in attachment
It has to do with your TV not the nexus player. Lookin your settings for a screen size, yours is probably set on 16:9. Find the option where it says screen fit or something
Thanks a lot, you are genius!

I am having this same issue with my NP. I think it's called overscanning. I have found the button to change the screen size on my TV remote, but when I am in an hdmi input on my TV it only gives me 2 screen size settings. Wide, and zoom, which both do not fit to the screen. If I change the input to anything, like TV, I have about 5 different options then. Anybody know of a way to fix this?
I had a same issue with my panasonic TV...just try to look into menu-picture-advanced and disable 16:9 overscan
Just looked at the manual for my TV. Looks like if I have any HD input the only options the TV will give me are normal (which is wide), or zoom which is much worse. Normal cuts off probably about an inch on the sides. Navigating through some apps is almost impossible, like es Explorer.
It looks like I am at a loss. Because of the TV. I am using using a 50 inch Vizio p50 plasma TV.

I'm also at a loss. My Samsung Plasma doesn't have the screen fit or just fit setting (apparently they added it to the 2007 model). Wonder how Kodi does it and if it could be made into an app or something. I might look into seeing if I can modify the build.prop. Found this thread: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=720
Here, try the method using Nova Launcher in this post:

Here's something I stumbled on that I haven't seen mentioned... Found it very helpful.....
Problem: On my Samsung HDTV set, I found that many apps (particularly Chrome) were getting key parts of their screens cut off by overscan. But I couldn't find a way to set the overscan on my HDTV or in the Nexus Player.
Solution: While I was playing around with Nova Launcher on the Nexus Player, I found a way to launch something called "Overscan Calibrator" which fixed the issue!
Here's how I did it:
(1) Install Sideload Launcher (so you can launch Nova Launcher)
(2) Sideload Nova Launcher
(3) Use Sideload Launcher to launch Nova Launcher
(4) In Nova Launcher, long click on the screen to bring up the "Add to Homescreen" menu
(5) Shortcuts -> Activities
(6) Scroll down to find "Overscan Calibrator"
(7) Click on it to open the selection and click on the revealed item to add it to the home screen
(8) Now launch "Overscan Calibrator" and adjust the screen so that then entire screen is visible
Then... your entire Chrome screen will be visible !

Nexus Player on Samsung 50" UHD TV from lasta year and all menus go over the screen. Is there any way to calibrate viewable area on Nexus Player? Mike in many video games when you first starttasi them.
Have you tried the screen calibration settings? There's an app that has a shortcut to it here some where
No sure if it has it in stock, but CM12.1 has a overscan slider so you can shrink it to fit.
