Grey / Black bars in lean frontend
Hi All,

I recently installed Lean Frontend on my ShieldTV.

When watching videos that don't fill the screen (Panasonic plasma) the
bars at the top and bottom are grey rather than black.

Watching the same videos in the full blown MythTV Frontend the bars are
black.

From the list archives I see that there was a discussion on this
previously but it didn't seem to come to any conclusion.

Was there ever any workaround identified for this?

Cheers,
David

In leanfront -

Tools -> Settings -> Playback -> Letterbox Black Matte

This option was added several weeks ago.

Great, thanks Peter - that's fixed it.

Turns out I had installed leanfrontend some time about and was missing
the option, after updating to 0.275 it's there and working perfectly.

David
